John Marshall Soil & Water Conservation District

John Marshall Soil & Water Conservation District (doing business as Swcd) is a U.S. local government entity (county-level) based in Warrenton, Virginia, that serves as a sub-recipient on federal environmental grants focused on watershed restoration and water-quality improvement. The vendor operates exclusively in a sub-recipient capacity; it holds no prime contracts or prime grants in the federal award footprint.

Swcd's capability portfolio centers on agricultural best-management-practice implementation, residential septic system remediation, water-quality monitoring, and cost-share administration within designated watersheds. Recent work includes a continuation grant from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (prime grantee, with EPA Region 3 as the funding federal agency) to address bacterial impairment in the Upper Goose Creek watershed through implementation of stream exclusions, streambank protection, manure composting for equine operations, grazing-system improvements, and prescribed land-management activities, coupled with water-quality monitoring under a DEQ-approved quality-assurance project plan. A second award from the same prime and funding agency addresses E. coli exceedances in two adjacent Rappahannock River Basin implementation-plan watersheds, also through agricultural and residential septic remediation. A third sub-award (March 2024) similarly funded Upper Goose Creek TMDL implementation work.

The vendor's customer footprint is concentrated at EPA Region 3 (100% of awards in the source data), with all three recent sub-awards flowing through the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality as the prime grantee. Combined federal dollars obligated across all three awards total $476 thousand, all awarded in 2024. The vendor does not hold a seat on any federal contract vehicles, GWACs, or agency-wide IDIQs, and has not been awarded prime contracts or prime grants in the federal system.
