Raritan River Initiative: The goal of the Raritan River Initiative being competed under this opportunity is to fund one project that will study sites and identify sources of pollution that are potentially impacting the lower and middle Raritan River. The selected applicant may compile data from sites and sources including the list found in this section as well as other sources of data the applicant deems important. This study should build upon ongoing data management efforts rather than duplicate work that has already been completed. Applicants should consult Raritan-related data projects that have been compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (accessible from http://response.restoration.noaa.gov/querymanager) and any other relevant resources with which the applicant may be familiar. The successful applicant will incorporate this data with information gathered from EPA, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), municipalities in the Raritan watershed, universities, NGOs and other groups that may have engaged in sampling work.
