About this program
The Environmental Protection Agency funds watershed management, habitat restoration, and water-quality protection activities across the Puget Sound estuary under CFDA 66.120, with the most recent grant award dated January 1, 2011.
This program has not issued new grant awards for over 15 years. The portfolio consists of 24 total cooperative agreements obligating $19.8 million in federal dollars, with a combined federal and non-federal total of $26.2 million. All 24 awards were issued by EPA, and award activity concentrated sharply in 2010 with 23 awards, followed by a single award in 2011. No grant opportunities have been posted recently.
The program funds cooperative efforts to restore and maintain water quality and estuarine habitat in Puget Sound by addressing specific watershed threats. Representative recent awards funded riparian habitat restoration and instream flow improvement by the Squaxin Island Tribe ($1,297,500 and $1,350,000 in federal obligations), watershed characterization and monitoring by King County ($1,331,649 for Cedar-Sammamish stream monitoring), shellfish-bed protection through on-site septic system remediation and bacterial pollution prevention ($1,000,000 to support shellfish growing area restoration), invasive species removal in the Snoqualmie/Skykomish watershed ($962,743), and land conservation using transfer-of-development-rights strategies ($1,330,000). Typical award magnitudes ranged from $777,268 to $1,421,003 in federal obligations.
All funding flows exclusively through EPA. Assistance is delivered entirely through Cooperative Agreements, which require recipient participation in water-quality planning and implementation alongside federal partners.
Do not pursue this program at this time. The program issued no new awards after January 2011, and no recent solicitations are active. Federal activity under this listing appears dormant.
