                                      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 forces—and resources—watershed 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.

Other Resources

A variety of resources, other than this Catalog,  are available to those readers seeking financial and
technical assistance for projects related to water quality. The following publications and organizations
might direct readers to additional sources of funding.

Introduction
 • National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF).  NFWF, a nonprofit organization
  established by Congress in 1984, awards challenge grants for natural resource conservation projects.
  NFWF uses its Federally-appropriated funds to match private sector funds. NFWF's  six priority
  program areas include wetland conservation, conservation education, fisheries, neotropical
  migratory bird conservation, conservation policy, and wildlife and habitat.  NFWF forges
  partnerships between the public and private sectors to join resources in order to meet its
  conservation goals and to fund eligible projects. Information about NFWF funding opportunities is
  available on the Internet at http://www.nfwf.org. You may also contact NFWF by telephone (202-

• Beyond SRF: A Workbook for Financing CCMP Implementation (Source: U.S.
  Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water, Document No. EPA 842-B-96-002,
  August 1996). This document presents potential approaches for financing various aspects of coastal
  protection, especially those defined under the^National Estuary Program (NEP). Because the NEP
  has a well-defined process, including development and implementation of Comprehensive
  Conservation and Management Plans, this document focuses on financing actions developed under
  NEP. The financing techniques discussed include: municipal debt financing, private sector funding,
  conservation easements, and purchase of development rights. Concepts  should apply equally well

  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
      Infrastructure—A 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-

Introduction
  sections present comprehensive tools that include traditional means of raising revenue, borrowing
  capital, enhancing credit, creating public-private partnerships, and ways'of providing technical
  assistance. The next five sections present the tools that are, will, or might soon be, available to
  address significant environmental priorities, including ways of lowering the costs of compliance,
  encouraging pollution prevention, paying for community-based environmental protection, financing
  brownfields redevelopment, and improving access to capital for small businesses and the
  environmental goods and services industry. Each tool is described along with its actual and
  potential uses, advantages and limitations, and references for further information.

Overview         The National Estuary Program (NEP) coordinates efforts to improve water quality
                  and protect and restore coastal resources through the development of
                  Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plans (CCMP). These plans
                  characterize the problems in the estuary, determine relationships between pollutant
                  loading and impacts, and recommend solutions to problems.

                  There are currently 28 estuaries included in the NEP across the country.  NEPs
               •   carry out tasks such as (1) gathering and analyzing data, (2) acquiring new data as
                  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 Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program helps States and communities
identify and implement measures to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of
flood damage to homes and other structures insurable under the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). Projects may include (1) elevation, relocation, or
demolition of insured structures; acquisition of insured structures and property;
(2) dry floodproofing of insured structures; i'3) minor, localized structural
projects that are not fundable by State or otl ler Federal programs (erosion-
control and drainage improvements), and (41 beach nourishment activities such
as planting of dune grass.

•   State agencies, participating NFIP communities, or qualified local
    organizations
•   Communities that have been suspended from the NFIP are not eligible

Two types of grants are available:
•   Planning grants. Assist communities with the development of Flood
    Mitigation plans (assessment of flood risk and identification of actions
    needed to reduce risk). Communities must have Flood Mitigation Plans to
    be eligible for FMA Project grants.            .   ,.

 in 1962 to help people care for and protect their natural resources to improve an
 area's economy, environment, and living standards. The program provides a
 way for local residents to work together and plan how they can actively solve
 environmental, economic, and social problems facing their communities.
 Assistance is available for planning and installation of approved projects

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                                                .

 Grants are intended to initiate community-bused projects that promote
 environmentally and economically sustainable development. The program
 encourages partnering among community, business, and government entities to
 work cooperatively to develop flexible, locally-oriented approaches that link
 environmental management and quality of life activities with sustainable
 development and revitalization.  This program challenges communities to invest
 in a sustainable future that will link environmental protection, economic
 prosperity, and community well-being. These grants are intended to (1)
 catalyze community-based projects; (2) build partnerships which increase a
 community's capacity to take steps to ensure long term ecosystem and human
 health, economic vitality, and community well-being; and (3) leverage public
 and private investments to enhance environmental quality by enabling
 community efforts to continue beyond the period of funding.

protect the public and correct environmental damage caused by coal and, to a
limited extent, noncoal mining practices thai occurred prior to August 3, 1977.
AMLR provides for the restoration of eligible lands and waters mined and
abandoned or left inadequately restored.  AMLR is divided into two programs:
the State Indian Reclamation Program and ttie Federal Reclamation Program.
Both programs address problems such as dangerous highwalls, slides,
subsidence, dangerous portals, and polluted water.

•   State/Indian Reclamation Program: States and Indian Tribes with eligible
    lands and coal mining operations that are paying into the Abandoned Mine
    Reclamation Fund, and that have approved AML programs
•   Federal Reclamation Program: States, Indian Tribes, local governments

•   Grants:  Distributed only under the State/Indian Reclamation Program.
    Grants are 100 percent Federally funded.
•   Federal Reclamation Program: Office of Surface Mining (OSM) conducts
    reclamations under Federal program.
•   Emergency funds might be available. Emergency reclamation is conducted
    by States and OSM.                 .

 financial, and educational assistance, half of it targeted to livestock-related natural
 resource concerns and the other half to more general conservation priorities. EQIP
 is available primarily in priority area where there are significant natural resource
 concerns and objectives.

 Four programs have been replaced to create EQIP: the Agricultural Conservation
 Program, Water Quality Incentives Program, Great Plains Conservation Program,
 and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program.

Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds may be used by State and local
governments for any roads (including the National Highway System) that are
not functionally classified as local or rural minor collectors.  Each State sets
aside 10 percent of STP funds for transportation enhancements, which can
include water-related projects, such as wetland mitigation and implementation
of control technologies to prevent polluted highway runoff from reaching
surface water bodies. Other transportation enhancements include landscaping
and other scenic beautification, pedestrian and bicycle trails, archaeological
planning and research, preservation of abandoned railway corridors, and
historic preservation.

 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;
    nonprofit organizations; and individuals.

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.

   States have until March 1999 to collect their share of the $50 million
   appropriated in FY 96.

 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.

 •   FT 96 $77 million
 •   FY 97 $106 million                 '     -
 •   FY 98 $163 million (estimated)
