Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA R10 OW CRBRP 2022 01
The Columbia River Basin Restoration Funding Assistance Program - Lower Columbia River Estuary Basin is a competitive EPA Region 10 grant opportunity designed to improve water quality and reduce toxic contamination in the Lower Columbia River Estuary. Issued as a Request for Applications (RFA) under the Columbia River Basin Restoration Program (CRBRP), it supports practical, on-the-ground projects that move forward two major planning frameworks: the Columbia River Basin Toxics Reduction Action Plan and the Lower Columbia River Estuary Plan (the region's Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan). The intent is to fund work that directly contributes to healthier water, cleaner sediments, better data on pollution conditions and trends, and stronger public understanding and involvement in protecting the river system.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect substantial involvement from EPA during the project period (for example, coordination on technical approaches, deliverables, reporting, or aligning work with basin-wide priorities). The assistance is aimed at a broad range of eligible partners, including tribal, state, and local governments as well as nongovernmental entities and other organizations described in the announcement's eligibility section. The program is structured to help these entities implement basin-wide strategies rather than isolated, stand-alone efforts, so proposals that clearly connect their activities to the established action plans and EPA's Columbia River Basin goals are positioned to be more competitive.
To be eligible, a project must fit at least one of the RFA's core categories: eliminating or reducing pollution (including toxic sources), cleaning up contaminated sites, improving water quality monitoring to evaluate trends over time, reducing runoff (often tied to stormwater and nonpoint source inputs), protecting habitat, or promoting citizen engagement and public knowledge through education and outreach. In practice, many strong proposals will blend more than one category, such as pairing toxics source reduction with monitoring to document improvements, or combining habitat protection with community outreach that builds long-term stewardship and compliance.
EPA indicates that priority will be given to applications that align with federal fiscal year 2021 and 2022 funding priorities laid out in the RFA. While the specific priority themes are detailed in the full announcement, this statement signals that applicants should not only propose worthwhile environmental work, but also explicitly map their objectives, methods, and outputs to the FY21/22 priorities and to measurable outcomes like reduced toxics loading, improved water quality indicators, stronger monitoring coverage, or demonstrable increases in community participation and awareness.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding with CFDA 66.962 and is run by the Environmental Protection Agency. The funding opportunity number is EPA R10 OW CRBRP 2022 01. The posted maximum award amount is $350,000, and EPA anticipated making around 15 awards. The opportunity was created on November 4, 2021, with an original closing date of February 8, 2022 (with the RFA directing applicants to Section IV for any close-date details). Overall, the program is geared toward targeted, results-driven restoration and pollution reduction work in the Lower Columbia River Estuary basin, with a clear emphasis on toxics reduction, credible monitoring, and effective public-facing engagement that supports long-term improvements in the watershed.Apply for EPA R10 OW CRBRP 2022 01
