Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant opportunity titled Technical Assistance and Support for Improved Ground Water Protection (Funding Opportunity Number EPA OW OGWDW 10 01) is a discretionary grant designed to strengthen how EPA, states, and certain tribes coordinate on protecting groundwater. The core purpose is to provide hands-on technical assistance and program support that improves communication, helps set shared priorities, and builds the capacity of state and tribal programs that oversee activities affecting underground sources of drinking water.
The work is centered on improving and expanding the capability of Underground Injection Control (UIC) programs and source water protection efforts, with a clear emphasis on groundwater. In practical terms, the grant focuses on supporting UIC programs for Class I and Class V wells, and also considers the proposed Class VI program area (commonly associated with underground injection for geologic sequestration of carbon dioxide). The opportunity also highlights support for tribes that have UIC primary enforcement authority (primacy). Alongside UIC, the grant supports source water protection programs, particularly where groundwater protection is a key concern, aiming to ensure that prevention and oversight efforts are aligned with the realities states and tribes face on the ground.
The successful applicant is expected to play a leadership and convening role rather than simply conducting isolated research. Key responsibilities include helping states and tribes with UIC primacy elevate important UIC and source water protection issues, organize and prioritize those issues, and develop potential strategies, solutions, and recommendations that can be shared back to states. The applicant is also expected to work directly with state agency officials responsible for implementing groundwater protection programs to identify practical approaches that address identified challenges. Another central expectation is that the grantee will monitor and coordinate activities across states, represent and advance state environmental interests in conversations among states and in engagements with EPA, and generally help keep efforts organized and moving forward in a coordinated way.
Funding for this opportunity is structured as a single award, with an expected total of 900,000 dollars. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 900,000 dollars, signaling EPA anticipated one grant at a fixed amount rather than a range of award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and emphasizes the programmatic capacity and proposed technical approach.
The grant is associated with CFDA number 66.424, described as Surveys, Studies, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Training Grants under Section 1442 of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and additional eligible entities as described in the full announcement (with eligibility details referenced in Section III). The opportunity was posted on November 3, 2009, and the application closing date was December 18, 2009, with the announcement archived on January 17, 2010. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Debra Gutenson at (202) 564 3882.
