FY02 Wetland Program Development Grants Guidelines

The Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs), initiated in FY90, provide eligible applicants an opportunity to conduct projects that promote the coordination and acceleration of research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys, and studies relating to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution. While WPDGs can continue to be used by recipients to build and refine any element of a comprehensive wetland program, priority will be given to funding projects that address the three priority areas identified by EPA for FY02: Developing a comprehensive monitoring and assessment program; improving the effectiveness of compensatory mitigation; and refining the protection of vulnerable wetlands and aquatic resources. This year, in addition to States, Tribes, local governments (S/T/ LGs) , interstate associations, and intertribal consortia, eligibility is broadened to include national non-profit, non-governmental organizations. This document governs the grant selection and award process for eligible applicants interested in applying for FY02 WPDGs.
