Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its Chesapeake Bay Program Office, issued a discretionary grant competition for Fiscal Year 2009 to select a single recipient to develop and implement the Chesapeake Bay Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Program. The focus of the opportunity is environmental protection in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, specifically targeting reductions in nutrient pollution and sediment loads, which are two of the major drivers of water quality impairment in the Bay and its tributaries. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means EPA expects substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, coordination, or review of program activities rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal engagement.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA R3CBP 09 06) was posted on December 23, 2008, with proposals due by February 6, 2009, and an archive date of March 8, 2009. EPA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,500,000. The program falls under CFDA 66.466 (Chesapeake Bay Program), indicating it is part of EPA's established Chesapeake Bay restoration assistance framework. Because it is framed as an "innovative" nutrient and sediment reduction program, the intent is generally to support approaches that go beyond routine implementation, such as new partnership models, financing mechanisms, incentive programs, or novel technical strategies that measurably reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment entering waterways.
Eligibility is broad but limited to specific entity types identified in the notice: state governments, county governments, city or township governments, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and private institutions of higher education. The announcement also flags that eligibility details and any additional constraints are provided in Section III of the full solicitation, so prospective applicants would need to confirm any geographic limitations (for example, whether activities must occur within the Chesapeake Bay watershed), any restrictions on pass-through subawards, and any additional organizational or programmatic qualifications required by EPA for this particular cooperative agreement.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the project, either in cash or eligible in-kind contributions, consistent with the terms described in the full announcement. The solicitation directs applicants to consult Section IV for the official submission procedures, acceptable submission methods, and any detailed due-date requirements, which often include specific formatting rules, required federal forms, narrative content expectations, and certifications. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Veronica Kuczynski, reachable by email or by fax at 215-267-5777.
