The grant funds the State of Texas' water quality management planning program to improve impaired waters and protect unimpaired waters by conducting planning to inform and support Clean Water Act program implementation. At least 40% of the funding, or $559,600, will be provided to regional or interstate watershed management planning agencies through seven identified sub-awards. Key products and services include water quality monitoring, watershed modeling, nutrient sampling, installation of water quality monitoring stations, seagrass monitoring, and a regional wastewater feasibility study delivered by the Coastal Bend and Bays Estuary Program and other sub-awardees, including area-wide planning councils. The grant aims to advance the state's water quality management plan through various projects, coordination with related programs, and public education and outreach activities.
