The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality will receive $890,231 under a cooperative agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 to support decision-making and public education regarding high value aquatic resources in Virginia through enhancements to the Wetlands Condition Assessment Tool. Specifically, the Department will deliver automated permitting forms, linkage of assessment calculators to wetland polygons, incorporation of environmental justice data, calibration of wetland stressors with surrounding land cover and condition, information exchange with North Carolina on shared waterways, and expansion of social media and web analytics capabilities for the tool. The funding is provided through September 2024 under the Regional Wetland Program Development Grants program administered by EPA, which aims to build state and tribal wetland programs through projects that protect, manage and restore wetlands.
