Surveys, Studies, Investigations, Training, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Grants for EPA Region 10 Regional Geographic Initiative

The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water - Funding Office distributed four Project Grants totaling $350 thousand in federal obligations under CFDA 66.115 in 2007, with the most recent award issued October 1, 2007. No grant awards have been disbursed under this program in the nearly nineteen years since that funding cycle; the program appears dormant based on available data.

The four awards funded municipal and regional climate and energy initiatives concentrated in EPA Region 10 (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington). Funded activities included utility-scale wind power development to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, education campaigns for utilities and consumers regarding renewable energy legislation, climate-responsive design resource development for microclimates across the region, and municipal projects and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. Award magnitudes ranged from $65,150 to $125 thousand per grant.

All four awards were Project Grants, and the Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water - Funding Office was the sole funding agency. The combined non-federal share was $40 thousand against the $350 thousand federal obligation, indicating modest local cost-share or matching contributions. No recent grant opportunities under this program are in evidence from the available information, and no open solicitation is currently posted.

The program's history and current status suggest it is not an active funding vehicle for new applications at this time. Organizations with water or regional environmental initiatives in EPA Region 10 seeking federal support would benefit from exploring other active EPA funding lines rather than this dormant program.
