The Puget Sound National Estuary Program  has issued three Requests for Proposals to advance Puget Sound recovery: 

  1. Developing Regional Facilities and Stormwater Parks: Support stormwater infrastructure analysis, retrofit planning, program development, resiliency policy, and updated levels of service to address climate resiliency.
  2. Increasing Stormwater Parks and Climate Resiliency in Puget Sound: Enable master planning and implementation of regional stormwater facilities, including stormwater parks, as a key strategy for addressing development-related water quality challenges across jurisdictional, watershed or property boundaries.
  3. Toxics in Fish Combined RFP: Address the sources and loads of contaminants from wastewater and stormwater runoff in known areas with toxic loads affecting juvenile Chinook salmon productivity; support the implementation of Chemical Action Plans (CAPs) for priority toxic chemicals; address knowledge gaps through field and laboratory research and analytical methods development.
