Brown County Soil & Water

Brown County Soil & Water is a U.S. state government entity that acts as a sub-recipient on federal environmental grants, with no prime contract or grant awards in recent activity. The organization operates exclusively as a sub-recipient under pass-through funding from the State of Ohio Office of Budget and Management, receiving three federal environmental grants totaling $430 thousand in combined obligated dollars since February 2023.

Brown County Soil & Water's recent federal work centers on nonpoint source pollution control and aquatic restoration. The organization received two sub-grant awards for nonpoint source planning and implementation — one in February 2023 and another in September 2023 — and a November 2025 sub-grant for the Fayetteville Dam Removal & Stream Restoration project. All three awards flow through the State of Ohio Office of Budget and Management as the prime grantee, with the Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 serving as the sole funding federal agency across the entire portfolio.

Activity has been sparse and episodic: two awards in 2023 and one in 2025, with no awards recorded in 2024. The organization holds no seat on federal contract vehicles, does not compete for prime federal contracts, and does not hold prime federal grants. As a sub-recipient entity, Brown County Soil & Water operates within the State of Ohio's environmental grant administration and does not independently pursue federal contracting vehicles or IDIQs. The organization's federal footprint is narrowly concentrated in EPA Region 5-funded water quality and restoration work delivered through state-administered environmental grant programs.
