Opportunity Summary:
The LGAC Support and Circuit Rider Program is a fiscal year 2009 funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the Chesapeake Bay Program Office, released as a Request for Proposals (RFP). The grant is meant to strengthen local government involvement in Chesapeake Bay restoration by funding two closely related efforts: (1) support for the Chesapeake Bay Program's Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC), and (2) education, facilitation, and hands-on assistance to help local governments implement nutrient and sediment pollution load reduction actions, commonly described in this announcement as the "Circuit Rider" component. In practical terms, the work is focused on helping counties, cities, and towns move from planning to on-the-ground implementation that reduces runoff and improves water quality across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number EPA R3CBP 09 05 and falls under the Environmental activity category through CFDA 66.466 (Chesapeake Bay Program). EPA planned to make about two awards under this announcement, using either cooperative agreements or grants. The estimated total funding available is $1,500,000, and applicants should expect that EPA anticipates active involvement typical of cooperative agreements, especially where coordination, facilitation, and program support are central to the scope of work.
Eligible applicants include county governments; city or township governments; state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and other entities as described in the full announcement (with eligibility details referenced in Section III). The listing also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) consistent with the rules in the full RFP and applicable federal grant requirements.
The announcement was posted on December 11, 2008, and the application deadline (current and original closing date) was January 23, 2009, with the notice instructing applicants to consult Section IV of the full announcement for the official submission methods, required forms, and any delivery or timing details. The opportunity was later archived on February 22, 2009. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, EPA provided two points of contact: Mike Fritz for programmatic questions and Veronica Kuczynski for administrative questions.
