The Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 awarded a $774,074 Project Grant under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) federal grant program to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on March 29, 2021.

The grant will support implementation of six non-point source pollution reduction projects in the Maumee Watershed by the Ohio EPA Division of Surface Water in partnership with local governments, soil and water conservation districts, and The Ohio State University. The projects involve installing structural and agricultural conservation practices focused on preventing gully erosion and increasing treatment and retention of runoff water. This is expected to result in annual load reductions of approximately 6,103 pounds of nitrogen, 1,307 pounds of phosphorus, and 1,078 tons of sediment, while capturing around 1 million gallons of stormwater runoff annually. Additionally, up to 14 nonpoint source implementation strategy plans will be developed for nearby watersheds.

The grant also provides sub-awards to soil and water conservation districts in Mercer, Van Wert, Fulton, and Putnam counties in Ohio to implement best management practices on agricultural lands, including approximately 5 acres of grassed waterway, 4,000 feet of grassed waterway projects, and conversion of 3.5 acres of row crop to constructed wetland.
