The purpose of the Water Pollution Control Program is to assist Federally recognized Indian Tribes with achieving environmental results by developing institutional capacity to administer water pollution control programs and to protect, improve, and enhance natural resources. These grants are for use during the grant period beginning either July 1, 2011 or October 1, 2011. Final Guidance on Awards of Grants to Indian Tribes under Section 106 of the CWA The October 2006 Final Guidance on Awards of Grants to Indian Tribes under Section 106 of the CWA (Guidance) provides Tribes with information on how to design and implement effective, adaptive, and successful water quality programs. The Guidance also provides EPA with a framework of procedures and guidelines for awarding and administering these grants. All applicants are encouraged to refer to this Guidance when initiating, developing, or implementing a water pollution control program and when preparing their workplans. The Guidance assists Tribal water quality programs at various levels of sophistication and development. For new programs, it provides models for successfully initiating and developing a water quality program. For Tribes with well established programs, it contains additional water quality protection activities to consider. To meet the needs of Tribes at all levels of development, the Guidance presents steps a tribe can take to collect the information it will need to make effective decisions about its water quality program. In addition, the Guidance outlines the reporting requirements and data expectations for all tribal programs receiving CWA Section 106 funds. These reporting requirements will help tribes collect critical data and information for effective management of their water quality programs. They also help EPA measure environmental results of the CWA Section 106 associated Strategic Plan, and other federal requirements. The Guidance may be downloaded from the U.S. EPA website: http://www.epa.gov/owm/cwfinance/106tgg07.html EPA'S STRATEGIC PLAN EPA's 2006-2011 Strategic Plan describes the programmatic and quantitative measures for improving water quality nationwide and sets five long-term goals for the 5 year period. The focus of the Strategic Plan is to achieve measurable environmental results. The plan includes strategic targets the EPA uses to track progress quantitatively. The strategic plan is available online at: www.epa.gov/ocfo/plan/plan.htm The objectives and subobjectives associated with Goal 2, Clean and Safe Water, address issues that apply to Tribal and state water quality programs. (See Grant Workplan and Application Submission Information section for the list of objectives and subobjectives). Tribes and intertribal consortia, as recipients of grant funds, play an integral part in achieving EPA's objectives and subobjectives and in demonstrating environmental results. 3 ------- AWARD INFORMATION Region 9 anticipates it will allocate approximately $8 million to support CWA § 106 tribal programs. This funding will allow EPA to award grants between $40,000 and $200,000; first-time eligible applicants may receive grants for $40,000.

IF YOU KNOW THE TOTAL FEDERAL FUNDS AVAILABLE: 1.Divide the Total Federal Funds available by the maximum federal % allowed. 2. Subtract the amount of Total Federal Funds available in #1 from the amount derived from #2. 3. The amount derived from #3 is the MINIMUM NON-FEDERAL CONTRIBUTION (MATCH). FOR EXAMPLE: 1. If the Federal funds available = $100,000; and the recipient match is 20%. 2. Then the maximum Federal % = 80% or .80 $100,000 4- .80 = $125,000 (Total project cost) 3. Then $125,000 -$100,000 = $25,000 4. The minimum non-Federal contribution (20%)= $25,000 B. IF YOU KNOW THE TOTAL PROJECT COSTS: 1. Multiply the Total Project Costs by the match % needed. 2. The total is your match amount. FOR EXAMPLE: If $125,000 $125,000 x .20 Total Project Cost and you need 20% match $25,000 (Match) POSSIBLE CWA§106 GRANT AMOUNTS AND REQUIRED 5% MATCH AMOU * NTS Possible Federal Assistance Required Tribal Match Total Project Cost $40,000 $2,105 $42,105 $50,000 $2,632 $52,632 $60,000 $3,158 $63,158 $70,000 $3,684 $73,684 $80,000 $4,211 $84,211 $90,000 $4,737 $94,737 $100,000 $5,263 $105,263 * First-time eligible Tribes may receive Federal amounts of $40,000. ------- Attachment 2 (cont.)
