U.S. EPA seeks proposals under this announcement for projects that 
conserve, restore and protect the water quality, habitat and environment 
of California coastal waters, estuaries, bays and near shore waters 
through comprehensive approaches to water quality management. The emphasis 
is on supporting implementation activities based on existing plans, such 
as Comprehensive Conservation Management Plans (Clean Water Act Section 
320), State programs such as Integrated Regional Water Management Plans, 
and local watershed plans. Three to five grants or cooperative agreements 
will be awarded. The federal share of the awards will range from 
approximately $250,000 to no more than $1,000,000 each with project 
periods of three to five years. Proposals are due by August 25, 2008.
