SUPPORT OF SMALL WATERSHED PROGRAMS In the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: The EPA Chesapeake Bay Program Office plans to award one cooperative agreement to an intermediary organization that will manage the Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grant Program. Through this RFIP, EPA seeks to identify an organization with a mission to support communities in their efforts to improve local watersheds within the Chesapeake Bay basin. EPA will develop a cooperative agreement with the selected organization to advertise for proposals, select subgrantees, oversee subgrants, monitor subgrants for completion of projects, and report on results and lessons learned. Funding for this program is appropriated each year by Congress. Since its start in 1998, the Chesapeake Bay Small Watershed Grants Program has awarded 292 grants totaling nearly $9 million to communities throughout the Bay watershed.
