This $2.2 million formula grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 supports the State of Hawaii's implementation of its Nonpoint Source Management Program through September 2027. Funded by the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA #66.460), the award provides full federal funding of $1.3 million to directly implement best management practices, watershed planning, monitoring, restoration, and education/outreach projects focusing on water quality impairments from nonpoint source pollution. Subawards will support similar activities, with anticipated outcomes including pollutant reductions, achievement of workplan goals, water quality improvements, and protection of high-quality waters. The Hawaii Department of Health will oversee delivery of services targeting priority watersheds to address sediment and nutrient loading and coordinate with state and federal partners.
