This $168,775 formula grant awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 supports the Oklahoma Secretary of Energy and Environment's efforts to maintain, protect, and improve water quality throughout the state. The funding will enable the state to continue its probabilistic survey approach, monitoring approximately 35-40 stream and river stations annually across three ecoregions. The data collected will be analyzed and reported through the state's Integrated Report and uploaded to the EPA's Water Quality Exchange database for public accessibility. Expected deliverables include semiannual progress reports, an approved Quality Assurance Project Plan, and preliminary analysis of the monitoring data. This federal grant under the Water Pollution Control State, Interstate, and Tribal Program Support (CFDA 66.419) directly benefits the residents of Oklahoma by characterizing water quality conditions and informing efforts to prevent degradation and reduce impairment of the state's waterbodies.
