Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Region 05 Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA R5 WPDG 2010) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to support projects that build, improve, or refine comprehensive wetland programs. These grants are intended to help recipients strengthen the policies, tools, and technical capacity needed to protect wetlands and reduce water pollution, with an emphasis on work that produces clear environmental results and shows how it contributes to healthier communities and ecosystems. EPA notes that some funded work may involve or relate to geospatial information, which can include mapping, spatial analysis, or data systems used to assess wetland conditions and track program outcomes.
The program is authorized under Section 104(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act. That authority limits how funds may be used: supported activities must focus on improving wetland programs through efforts such as research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies tied to understanding and addressing water pollution. In practical terms, proposed projects should connect wetland program development to pollution prevention and water quality improvement, for example by improving monitoring approaches, assessment methods, restoration planning, enforcement support tools, or coordination among agencies and partners. EPA also makes it clear that proposals must be framed around measurable environmental outcomes rather than stand-alone planning or administrative work.
For FY10 in Region 05, EPA anticipated making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,900,000. Individual award amounts were expected to range from a floor of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $500,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should plan for a non-federal contribution consistent with the rules described in the full announcement.
The funding activity category is Environment and the assistance listing is CFDA 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). Eligibility is not limited to a single applicant type in the summary information provided; it is listed as "Others (see text field...)" and applicants are directed to Section III of the full announcement for the specific eligibility requirements and any restrictions. Submission timing for this competition shows the opportunity was posted on April 14, 2010, and the application closing date was May 28, 2010, with the notice later archived on June 27, 2010. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for the approved submission methods, detailed due dates, and procedural requirements.
