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. Contact: <st1:place

quality, habitat and environment of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Bay</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>
and its watersheds through comprehensive approaches to water quality
management. U.S. EPA is soliciting proposals for demonstration projects and
studies of approaches that will focus on the effectiveness of an integrated
approach for the following water quality priorities: Invasive species
management; Reduction of trash in our waterways; Innovative wetlands
restoration; Stormwater management including impacts to urban streams;
Reductions of pollutants identified in draft or completed Total Maximum
Daily Loads (TMDLs); and Climate change impacts on water quality. Emphasis
should be on activities that demonstrate practical and efficient models
that can be adapted to other places in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Bay</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>

and demonstrations based on existing resource protection plans, such as the
SFEP Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) and local
watershed plans. <br>
