This $197,165 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA 66.460) provides support to the State of Oregon to implement its nonpoint source pollution management program. The key activities to be undertaken include:

Funding for 3-5 on-the-ground projects focused on watershed-based plan implementation to address nutrient reduction, riparian restoration best management practices (BMPs), nutrient and sediment reduction, BMP effectiveness monitoring, and outreach/education initiatives. These subawards to local organizations will aim to implement riparian restoration BMPs, conduct BMP effectiveness monitoring, and carry out outreach and education programs in support of nonpoint source pollution mitigation and restoration efforts. The anticipated outcomes include nutrient and sediment reductions, stream flow improvements, temperature reduction, coordination with partner agencies, and public outreach and education efforts that will directly benefit all state residents and underserved populations.

This agreement provides support to the state of oregon to implement its nonpoint source management program, focusing on watersheds with water quality impairments caused by polluted runoff from nonpoint sources.
