This Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Support for the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan (CFDA 66.485) program provides $1,549,116 in funding to the State of Ohio to support and advance the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan. The funding will be used for two main activities: 1) Maintaining staff capacity to provide training and technical assistance for planning and design of structural practices that reduce agricultural nutrient loading, and 2) Increasing watershed-based planning to develop implementation projects. These activities are expected to facilitate reductions in nutrients delivered to the Ohio River Basin, although the specific pollution load reductions are not quantified. The Ohio EPA will pass through funds to the Ohio Department of Agriculture to fund personnel expenses, and will also issue subawards to other recipients upon completion of a request for proposals (RFP) process.
