Wetlands Grants - EPA 104(b)3 Wetland Program Development Grants
EPA 104(b) 3 Wetland Program Development Grants
The Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs), initiated in FY09, provide eligible applicants an opportunity to conduct projects that promote the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution.
While WPDFs can continue to be used by recipients to build and refine any element of a comprehensive wetland program, priority will be given to funding projects that address the three priority areas identified by EPA: Developing a comprehensive monitoring and assessment program; improving the effectiveness of compensatory mitigation; and refining the protection of vulnerable wetlands and aquatic resources. States, Tribes, local governments (S/T/LGs), interstate associations intertribal consortia, and national non-profit, non-governmental organizations are eligible to apply.
