Opportunity Summary:
The Region 8 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number EPA REG 08 WPDG 2009) is a discretionary Environmental Protection Agency funding program that supports projects aimed at building, improving, and modernizing wetland programs across EPA Region 8. The program, first launched in fiscal year 1990, is designed to help applicants develop and refine comprehensive wetland protection and management efforts. A key expectation is that proposed work is tied to measurable environmental results and clearly explains how it will advance broader outcomes tied to healthier communities and ecosystems. The announcement also notes that some awards may involve or relate to geospatial information, which often shows up in wetland work through mapping, inventory, assessment, tracking, and spatial analysis.
Legally, the grants are authorized under Section 104(b)(3) of the Clean Water Act. That authority places boundaries on how funds may be used: projects must focus on improving wetland programs through activities such as, or closely related to, research and investigations; experiments and demonstrations; training and capacity-building; surveys and studies; and efforts that coordinate or accelerate the science and practice needed to understand and address water pollution. In practical terms, the work funded under this authority typically centers on understanding wetland condition and function, identifying stressors and pollution sources, improving methods and tools for protection and restoration, strengthening program implementation, and supporting collaboration that leads to better wetland outcomes.
Funding is provided through grants and cooperative agreements, with an estimated total funding pool of $1,800,000 and an expected 10 awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from a floor of $25,000 up to a ceiling of $200,000. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients should plan to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the full announcement terms. The CFDA number associated with this program is 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants), which is helpful for applicants when aligning organizational grants systems, compliance processes, and reporting.
Eligibility is limited to projects performed within EPA Region 8 states: Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Eligible applicant types explicitly include state governments; county governments; city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The announcement also lists an "Others" category with a note to consult the full text for clarification, so organizations that do not neatly fit the named categories would need to verify eligibility details in Section III of the full announcement.
From a timing standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on May 13, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2009, and an archive date of July 26, 2009. The notice emphasizes that applicants should rely on the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for the authoritative instructions on how to submit and the final due-date details. For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Brent Truskowski at (303) 312-6235.
