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. Robert H. Wayland m, Director Office of Wetlands, Oceans & Watersheds U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ------- ------- 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.

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.

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.

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.
