Wetland Program Development Grants assist state, Tribal, territorial, local government agencies and interstate/intertribal entities in developing or refining programs which protect, manage, and restore wetlands. The primary focus of these grants is to develop or refine state and Tribal wetland programs. A secondary focus is to develop or refine local (e.g., county or municipal) programs.

Projects must be performed within one or more of the states or federally recognized Tribes of EPA Region 10 (serving Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) to be eligible to apply for funding. In the case of inter-jurisdictional watershed projects, they must be primarily implemented in EPA Region 10.

There is a total of $1,857,000 available over two years and we anticipate making 8-15 awards. Applications may not request more than $275,000 and applicants may submit more than one application.
