EPA’s Transboundary Mining Grant – Apply by Jan 17

Congress has directed EPA to expand its work to monitor and reduce transboundary mining pollution in the Kootenai watershed and other U.S.-British Columbia transboundary watersheds. EPA recently released a Notice of Funding Opportunity for planning, coordinating, and monitoring in transboundary watersheds with existing or proposed mines that impact – or could impact – waters in Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Alaska. The funds for this action will be issued from EPA’s Office of International and Tribal Affairs. Awards will range from $50,000 to $600,000, and EPA anticipates making up to 10 awards. Apply
