About this opportunity

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is offering grants through the Clean Vessel Act (CVA) program to provide funding to U.S. states, territories, and the District of Columbia. The grants support the construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance of pumpout stations and waste reception facilities for recreational boaters, as well as related education and outreach efforts. Eligible applicants are state government agencies designated by the governor or mayor. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as the need for the proposed project, the cost-effectiveness of the approach, and the applicant's capacity to implement the project successfully. The application deadline is November 25, 2024, with anticipated award announcements in May 2025.

The total estimated funding available is $15 million, with a maximum award of $1.5 million per applicant. Coastal states may apply for up to $3 million, while inland states may apply for up to $1.5 million. A 25% non-federal cost share is required, except for U.S. territories. Funded projects are expected to be performed across coastal and inland waterways throughout the United States.

Synopsis

The Clean Vessel Act of 1992 was signed November 4, 1992 (106 Stat. 5039) and codified in 33 U.S.C. 1322. The Act amended the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act (Wallop-Breaux Act; 16 U.S.C. 777) and established the Clean Vessel Act Grant Program (CVA) to provide funding to the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and territories of the United States of America (States). Funding allows States to construct, renovate, operate, and maintain pumpout stations and waste reception facilities for recreational boaters and to inform boaters about the use, benefits, and availability of pumpout stations and waste reception facilities. Subsequent reauthorizations of the Acts have allowed for the continuation of the CVA. Additional information about CVA is available at: https://www.fws.gov/program/clean-vessel-act
