Foreword
Adopting a watershed approach to solving water quality and other natural resource problems has
become increasingly popular. And with good reason. The watershed approach provides local
communities greater involvement in decisions that affect their future. It also allows the social and
economic concerns of the community to be incorporated into decision-making about environmental,
issues. The experience of the last several years also demonstrates that this approach to aquatic
ecosystem management reveals problems and opportunities our traditional approaches did not. By
combining forcesand resourceswatershed teams are overcoming these problems and realizing the
opportunities.
One of the greatest needs of watershed organizations is for financial and technical support for their
activities. With a shrinking Federal budget for discretionary spending, Federal programs will rarely
be the primary source of funding. They can, however,.be one source among many that, taken
together, can result in real environmental progress. Therefore, I am pleased to provide you with the
Catalog of Federal Funding Sources for Watershed Protection. This document highlights Federal
grants and loans that may be used at the local level to support watershed projects, and contains
references to many of the other good publications and websites on funding and technical assistance.
We hope this document will assist you in finding the support you need for your watershed.

Preface
The watershed approach has changed the way that
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
and other Federal, Tribal, and State agencies
manage water resources programs. We now
generally recognize that the critical environmental
issues facing society are so intertwined that a
comprehensive, ecosystem-based and community-
based approach is needed. We also recognize that
solving environmental problems depends
increasingly on local governments and local
citizens. Thus, the need to integrate across
traditional water program areas (e.g., flood damage
reduction, wastewater treatment, nonpoint source
pollution control) and to cooperate across levels of
government (Federal, State, Tribal, local) and
across public and private sectors is leading toward
a.watershed approach.
Public and private organizations, academic
institutions, and citizens and their governments in
thousands of communities across the nation are
forming partnerships and learning new ways to
manage their watersheds .together. These groups
seek guidance and examples of watershed
approach success stories after which to model their
own activities. The EPA's Office of Water
established the Watershed Academy to help
address these needs by providing training for
watershed managers based on local, State, Tribal,
and Federal experiences in implementing
watershed approaches throughout the past decade.
The Watershed Academy provides technical
watershed information and outreach through live
training courses, the Internet, and published
documents. The Academy offers live training
courses on the basics of watershed management
and maintains a training catalogue concerning
where to obtain more advanced training. An
Internet distance learning program called Academy
2000 is being developed to help train those who
cannot attend the courses. The Watershed
Academy also provides watershed references such
as this do'cument, through the Watershed Academy
Information Transfer Series.
This document, number 11 in the Series, provides
information on 52 sources of Federal funding
available to support different aspects of watershed
protection and local-level watershed projects. It
includes information on what types of activities are
funded and where to obtain funding from these
sources. It ,is organized into the following
'categories: coastal waters, conservation, economic
development, education, environmental justice,
fisheries, forestry, Indian Tribes, mining, pollution
prevention and control, and wetlands.

Catalog of Federal Funding Sources for Watershed Protection
Introduction
Introduction
The EPA Office of Water has developed this Catalog of Federal Funding Sources for Watershed
Protection to .inform watershed partners of Federal monies that might be available to fund a variety of
watershed protection projects. This version of the Catalog updates EPA's Watershed Protection:
Catalog of Federal Programs printed in 1993 (EPA-841-B-93-002). It contains a one-page fact .sheet
for each of 52 funding sources that indicates to the reader the type of projects funded and eligibility.
Contacts and Internet sites are provided so the reader can obtain further information. This Catalog
lists Federal sources that provide monetary assistance (grants and loans) and does not present sources
that offer only technical assistance. In addition, this Catalog does not contain information about small
site-specific Federal sources or non-Federal sources. The information presented reflects sources '
available as of September 1997. EPA's Office of Water plans to periodically update the Catalog.
Forms are available in the back of this catalog (Appendix B) for users to provide comments and to
submit .information about additional relevant programs.

for evaluating sources of funding for all watershed protection efforts. This document is available
from the National Center for Environmental Publications and Information (NCEPI) (telephone: 513-
489-8190/800-490-9198; fax: 513-489-8695).
EPA's State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program (Office of Wastewater Management,
Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water) SRFs are available to fund a wide variety of water
quality projects including all types of nonpoint source and estuary management projects, as well as ;
more traditional municipal wastewater treatment projects. The Clean Water SRF and the Drinking
Water SRF Programs are detailed in this Catalog (pages 47 and 48); however, the following SRF
publications might also serve as useful resources.
_' f
(I) The Clean Water State Revolving Fund: Financing America's Environmental
InfrastructureA Report of Progress (EPA 832-R-95-001, January 1995). This document
describes national progress on addressing threats to water resources since 1972 and provides"
information on the accomplishments of the national SRF program, the level of Federal and
State investment, how the program works, how communities benefit from the program, and
the types of projects funded.
(2) SRF Funding Framework Policy and Guidance (EPA 832-B-96-005, October 1996).
This document provides States a tool for establishing relative funding priorities for a range of
projects meant to correct water quality problems either statewide or on a watershed basis. The
. guidance builds upon current SRF programs, broadens participation of nonpoint sources and
estuary constituent groups, and encourages States to establish water quality priorities on a
watershed basis.
Both of these documents can be ordered from EPA's National Center for Environmental
Publications and Information (NCEPI) (telephone: 513-489-8190/800-490-9198; fax: 513-489-

needed to address priority problems, (3) increasing public understanding of the
problems and complexity of an estuary and engaging local citizens in the decision-
making process, and (4) bringing together a 1 the appropriate stakeholders to
collaboratively develop their CCMP and support its implementation, and
(5) developing corrective actions to address the most significant problems.

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a voluntary program for
people who want to develop and improve wildlife habitat on private lands. It
provides both technical assistance and cost sharing to help establish and
improve fish and wildlife habitat. Participants work with USDA's Natural
Resources Conservation Service to prepare a wildlife habitat development plan
in consultation with the local conservation district. The plan describes the
landowner's goals for improving wildlife habitat, includes a list of practices
and schedule for installing them, and details the steps necessary to maintain the
habitat for the life of the agreement.
Individuals must own or have control of the land under consideration, and
cannot have the land already enrolled in programs that have a wildlife
focus, such as the Wetlands Reserve Program, or use the land for
mitigation.
Cost-share assistance: USDA pays up to 75 percent of the cost of installing
wildlife practices
Technical assistance for successfully establishing habitat development
projects .

EPA awards grants to States to capitalize their Clean Water State Revolving Funds
(SRFs). The States, through the SRF, make loans for high priority water quality
activities. As loan recipients make payments back into the fund, money is available
for new loans to be issued to other recipients. While traditionally used to build
wastewater treatment facilities, loans are used increasingly for other water quality
management activities, including: (1) agricultural, silviculture, rural and urban
runoff control; (2) estuary improvement projects; (3) wet weather flow control,
including stormwater and sewer overflows; (4) alternative wastewater treatment
technologies; and (5) nontraditional projects such as landfills and riparian buffers.
Capitalization grant funds available to States, Puerto Rico, Territories, and D.C.
States lend money to municipalities, communities, citizens' groups; nonprofit
organizations; and private citizens implementing NPS and estuary management
activities (provided for in State plans developed under CWA Sections 319 and

After States receive authority to establish Drinking Water State Revolving
Funds (DWSRFs), EPA awards grant money to States for DWSRF creation. A
State, through its DWSRF, provides loans for drinking water supply-related
projects. As loan recipients make payment, back into the fund, money is
available for new loans to be issued to other recipients. Although the majority
of loan money is intended for upgrades of infrastructure (public or private
drinking water supplies), States also have the option to set aside and use some
of the DWSRF funds for source water protection, capacity development,
drinking water programs, and operator certification programs. Thus, the
DWSRF allows for an emphasis on preventing contamination and enhancing
water systems management.
Capitalization grant funds available to States, Territories, U.S. possessions,
and Indian Tribes. After initial funding, States are eligible only for loans,
while Territories, U.S. possessions, and Indian Tribes may be eligible for
additional grants.
States distribute loan money to eligible public water systems, State,
interstate agencies; Indian Tribes; local , ommunities, citizens' groups;

In conjunction with the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF), the Hardship
Grants Program provides funds to rural communities for wastewater projects. Funds
assist disadvantaged rural communities through a combination of grants and/or
technical assistance. Funding will be distributed among States based on a formula
that considers the rural per capita income in each State and the number of rural
communities that lack access to centralized wastewater treatment. Communities
should initially apply for Clean Water SRF funding; if they meet the eligibility
requirements, they could receive a combination of a SRF loan and a Hardship Grant.
States receive funds and distribute them t D rural communities that have: (1)
fewer than 3,000 people; (2) no access to centralized wastewater treatment or
collection system, or have on-site systems (i.e., septic tanks) that need
improvement; (3) a per capita income rate that is less than 80 percent of the
national average; (4) an unemployment rate that exceeds the national average
by one percentage point or more; and (5) a proposed project that will
improve public health or reduce environmental risk.

The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program to restore and
protect wetlands on private property. WRP provides landowners with financial
incentives to enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring marginal agricultural
land. Landowners may sell a conservation easement or enter into a cost-share
restoration agreement. Landowners voluntarily limit future use of the land, yet
retain private ownership. Landowners and the NRCS develop a plan for the
restoration and maintenance of the wetland.
Easement participant must have owned tl: e land for at least 1 year. Owner
can be an individual, partnership, association, corporation, estate, trust,
business or other legal entities, a State (when applicable), political
subdivision of a State, or any agency thei sof owning private land.
Land must be restorable and be suitable for wildlife benefits.
WRP provides three options to the landowner:
Permanent Easement. USDA purchases easement (price is lessor of land
value or payment cap.) USDA pays 100' percent of restoration costs.
30-year Easement: Payment will be 75 percent of what would be paid for a
permanent easement. USDA pays 75 percent of restoration costs.
Restoration Cost Share Agreement: Agreement (min. 10 yr.) to restore
degraded wetland habitat/USDA pays 75 percent of restoration costs.
