Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS CA 12 0001
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is offering a grant opportunity focused on improving water quality in the Lake Tahoe Basin, specifically in El Dorado and Placer Counties, California. The program aims to address declining lake clarity caused primarily by sediment runoff from urban areas, with a significant portion of this runoff stemming from residential properties with impermeable surfaces.
The NRCS is looking to award a cooperative agreement with a funding cap of $350,000 for the current fiscal year, with the project expected to span from January 30, 2012, to February 28, 2013. Selected applicants will collaborate with NRCS to implement conservation practices known as Best Management Practices (BMPs) that help manage stormwater.
Applicants are required to create and complete a minimum number of Site Evaluation Plans that focus on retrofitting residential properties to manage runoff effectively. Each plan must comply with local and state regulations and will include site-specific recommendations for stormwater management. Educational outreach and community engagement are also crucial components of the project, with expectations for workshops, public events, and assessments of community needs.
Progress will be tracked through quarterly reports, and a final report will summarize accomplishments and strategies for ongoing conservation efforts. Proposals will be evaluated based on organizational capabilities, knowledge of local conservation issues, ability to collaborate with NRCS and stakeholders, and understanding of relevant ordinances and regulations. Selected applicants will work closely with NRCS throughout the project to fulfill its goals.Apply for USDA NRCS CA 12 0001
