Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OW OWOW 22 01
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Fiscal Year 2022 Request for Applications from Indian Tribes and Intertribal Consortia for Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution is a competitive funding opportunity under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). It is designed to help eligible tribes and intertribal consortia address water quality problems caused by nonpoint source pollution, meaning pollution that does not come from a single, identifiable discharge point (for example, runoff carrying sediment, nutrients, bacteria, or other contaminants into rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other waters). The central focus is on watershed-scale work: applicants are expected to develop and/or implement watershed-based plans and carry out on-the-ground watershed projects that make meaningful, measurable progress toward fixing NPS-related impairments or preventing emerging threats across an entire watershed rather than in isolated spots.
The opportunity supports projects that either create watershed-based plans or put existing plans into action, with a clear emphasis on outcomes that restore impaired waters and protect waters that are at risk from NPS pollution. EPA strongly encourages applications that are grounded in watershed-based planning and that link planning to implementation, such as identifying priority sources and locations in the watershed, selecting effective management measures, engaging local stakeholders, and tracking progress through monitoring or other evaluation methods. In practical terms, strong projects are typically those that can show how proposed activities will reduce pollutant loads, improve beneficial uses, or prevent further degradation, and how those improvements will be sustained over time.
Funding is provided through grants and/or cooperative agreements, and the maximum federal request per application is $100,000 in CWA Section 319 funds. Projects must also include the required non-federal cost share (match) as a portion of the total project cost, meaning recipients need to contribute qualifying non-federal resources to meet the match requirement described in the announcement. EPA anticipated approximately $2.7 million in total federal funding available for awards under this competition, with final totals dependent on overall agency funding levels, the number of tribes seeking support, application quality, and other relevant considerations. The expected number of awards was about 27, reflecting an intent to fund multiple tribal-led efforts across different watersheds.
Eligibility is limited to tribes and intertribal consortia that meet specific program readiness requirements. In particular, applicants must have approved nonpoint source assessment reports and management programs and must have Treatment-in-a-manner-similar-to-a-State (TAS) status as of October 8, 2021. These conditions signal that applicants have already established a recognized framework for managing NPS issues and are positioned to effectively plan and implement watershed work using federal funds. The listing falls under CFDA 66.460 (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings), and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary environmental funding administered by EPA.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title "Fiscal Year 2022 Request for Applications from Indian Tribes and Intertribal Consortia for Nonpoint," funding opportunity number EPA-OW-OWOW-22-01, and an original posting/creation date of November 29, 2021. The original closing date was January 27, 2022, with the announcement directing applicants to Section IV for the most precise closing date instructions and any related submission details. Overall, the program is aimed at supporting tribal and intertribal watershed leadership by financing well-defined, watershed-based approaches that can demonstrate real progress in reducing nonpoint pollution and improving water quality.Apply for EPA OW OWOW 22 01
