The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering this grant, soliciting proposals from eligible Indian Tribes and intertribal consortia. This funding supports the development and/or implementation of watershed-based plans and on-the-ground projects. These initiatives are crucial for solving Nonpoint Source (NPS) impairments and protecting water quality across watersheds. Entities are strongly encouraged to submit proposals focused on plans designed to protect unimpaired waters and restore NPS-impaired areas. The EPA emphasizes that watershed-based plans are the most effective means for preventing and resolving NPS problems, providing a coordinating framework with geographic focus, strong partnerships, and integrated solutions. Up to $150,000 in federal Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 319 funding is available, requiring an additional match.

| Description: | EPA is soliciting proposals from eligible tribes and intertribal consortia to develop and/or implement watershed-based plans and other on-the-ground projects that will result in significant steps towards solving Nonpoint Source (NPS) impairments on a watershed-wide basis. Eligible entities are strongly encouraged to submit proposals that develop and/or implement watershed-based plans designed to protect unimpaired waters and restore NPS-impaired waters. EPA believes that watershed-based plans provide the best means for preventing and resolving NPS problems and threats. Watershed-based plans provide a coordinating framework for solving water quality problems by providing a specific geographic focus, integrating strong partnerships, integrating strong science and data, and coordinating priority setting and integrated solutions. For an example of a tribal watershed-based plan, please refer to: http://www.epa.gov/nps/tribal/. Eligible tribes and intertribal consortia may apply for competitive funding by submitting a proposal for up to a maximum budget of $150,000 of federal Clean Water Act (CWA) section 319 funding (plus the additional required match of the total project cost). |
