The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $1,750,000 Project Grant to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA #66.469) program. The grant funds will be used to demonstrate technologies for reducing nutrient loading from nonpoint sources and addressing harmful algal blooms in western Lake Erie.

Specifically, Ohio EPA will work with partners Maumee Watershed Alliance and The Ohio State University to implement the following key activities:

  • Demonstrate a suite of technologies to recover nutrients from livestock manure and convert them to value-added fertilizer products
  • Test and demonstrate application of a slow-release phosphorus fertilizer product
  • Conduct field demonstrations and outreach to educate farmers, extension educators, and crop advisors on these nutrient application methods to reduce phosphorus runoff

The anticipated deliverables include technical reports, peer-reviewed journal articles, extension materials, and presentations aimed at improving knowledge and awareness of alternative nutrient technologies to benefit farmers, communities, and the western Lake Erie ecosystem. The project period runs from Jun 1, 2023 to Mar 31, 2028.
