INTRODUCTION

I

Section 319(h) FY02 Grant funds for the ,prevention, control and/or abatement of nonpoint sources of pollution .are currently

available to public agencies in Georgia (e.g., cities, counties, local

I

authorities operating local government delivery programs, regional development centers, local school systems, State colleges and

universities, and State agencies). State law prohibits non-governmental

I

organizations from receiving Section 319{h) Grant funds directly; however, non-governmental organizations are encouraged to develop

partnerships with public agencies to develop eligible projects.

I

Under Section 319(h) of the Clean Water Act, the U.. S.

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) awards a Nonpoint Source

I

Implementation Grant to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GAEPD) to fund eligible projects, which support the implementation of

the Georgia Nonpoint Source Management Program. Section 319(h)

I

Grant funds are limited. Therefore, the GAEPD uses a competitive process to ensure that the most appropriate projects are selected for

funding.

I

The State is scheduled to receive approximately $7 million to fund nonpoint source management projects:

I

I

$2.4 Million for nonpoint source management projects throughout the State.

I

I

$2.3 Million to develop and/or implement Water Restoration Action Strategies in

Category I Watersheds.

I

(See Appendix A)

I

$2.3 Million to develop, revise and/or

I

implement TMDL Implementation Plans.
(See Appendix .B)

I

Section 319(h) Grant project proposals should specifically identify the nonpoint sources of pollution _being addressed and the activities proposed to prevent, control and/or abate these nonpoint sources of pollution. Priority will be given to project proposals which implement the nonpoint source components of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that have been finalized as of August 31, 2001 under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (See Appendix B). In addition, priority: will be given to project proposals which develop, revise and/or implement TMDL Implementation Plans and/or Watershed Restoration Action -Strategies (WRAS) to alleviate the criterion violations identified in the Section 305(b)
or and Section 303(d) lists of waters which are partially' not supporting
beneficial uses due to nonp6int sources of pollution.
Maximum Federal reimbursement for. a -Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant project is 60 percent of the total project cost. Therefore, each project must pr~:>Vide non-Federal matching funds or inkind services for a minimum 40 percent of the total project cost. Thus, for a total project cost of $250,000, the maximum Federal reimbursement .. \AfOUld total $_150,000 and the_ non-Federal matching funds or in-kind services would total $100,000.-
Types of activities which are eligible include: regulatory or nonregulatory programs for enforcement, technical assistance, financial assistance, education, training, technology transfer, TMDL implementation projects, watershed restoration projects, demo_nstration projects, update and refinement of l)Onpoint source programs and assessments, monitoring to assess the success of specific nonpoint source implementation projects, urban stormwater control activities that are not specifically required by a draft or final NPDES permit, and certain ground water activities. Lake protection and restoration activities are eligible provided that they are not used for "in-lake" work such as aquatic macrophyte harvesting- or dredging unless the nonpoint sources of pollution will be remediated.
Proposals for the Section 319(h) FY02 Grant application must be submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division by January 31, 2002. Any proposal postmarked (or received, if not mailed) after this date will not be considered for funding. under the Section 319(h) FY02 Grant.
Applicants will be notified by June 30, 2002 if their Section 319(h) FY02 Grant proposals have been reviewed and approved by the GAEPD and the USEPA and are eligible for funding. Contingent upon review and approval by the USEPA and funding by Congress, the GAEPD should receive the Section 319(h) FY02 Grant funds by September 30, 2002.

What is Nonpoint Source Pollution (NPS)? Nonpoint sources of water pollution are both

diffuse in nature and difficult to define. Nonpoint source pollution can generally be defined as

the pollution caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As water

moves over or through the soil, it picks up and carries away natural pollutants and pollutants

resulting from human activities, finally depositing them in lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal

waters and ground waters. Habitat alteration (e.g., removal of riparian vegetation} and

hydrological modification (e.g., channelization, bridge construction} can cause adverse effects

on the biological and physical integrity of surface waters and are also treated as nonpoint

sources of pollution.

What is a TMDL? A T.otal..Maximum Daily Load (TMDL} is a calculation of the 'maximum amount of a

pollutant that a waterbody'can receive and still meet water quality standards: tri otherwords, it is the sum

of the allowable loads of a single pollutant from all contributing point and nonpoinfsOLirces, and includes a

margin of safety and consideration of seasonal variations. In addition, a TMDL contains the reductions

needed to meet water quality standards and allocates those reductions among the sources in the

watershed. Additional information about TMDLs may be accessed through the USEPA web page at:

www.epa.gov/owow/tmdl

I

I

I

TMDL Implementation Plan or WRAS should include the following elements:

I

a. An identification of the sources or groups of similar sources that will need to be controlled to

implement the load allocations or achieve water quality standards;

I

b. A description of the NPS management measures that will need to be implemented to achieve the load reductions established in the TMDL or achieve water quality standards, recognizing the natural

vadability and the difficulty in precisely predicting the performance of management measures over

I

time, and of the critical areas in which those measures will need to be implemented;

c. An estimate of the sources of funding needed, and/or authorities that will be relied upon, to

I

implement the plan. As sources of funding, States should consider the use of their Section 319 programs, State Revolving Funds, USDA's Environmental Quality Incentives Program and Conservation Reserve Program, and other relevant Federal, State, local and private funds that may_

be available to assist in implementing the plan;



I

d. An information/education component that will be used to enhance public understanding of and

participation in implementing the TMDL or WRAS; this component should be developed, and

I

discussions with the public should be begun at the beginning stages of the plan development; e. A schedule for implementing the management measures that is reasonably expeditious;

I

f. A description of interim, measurable milestones (e.g., amount of load reductions, improvement in biological or habitat parameters) for determining whether management measures or other control

actions are being impleme11ted;

I

g. A set of criteria that can be used to determined whether substantial progress is being made towards attaining water quality standards and, if not, the criteria for determining whether the TMDL or WRAS

needs to be revised; and

I

h. A monitoring component to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation efforts, measured

against the criteria established under item (f) immediately above.

9. Project Description:
The project description section describes the specific activities that will take place to achieve the objectives. This is the detailed description of what will occur from the time the project begins until it is completed. The project description section enables the reader to visualize the implementation of the project. It should convince the reader that the lead organization knows what it is doing, thereby establishing its credibility. The project description should specifically identify the nonpoint sources of pollution being addressed and the activities proposed to prevent, control and/or abate these noripoint sources of pollution:
a) Specific Project Activities - The project description should delineate specific project activities. The project description should narratively explain the project activities that will be accomplished with the available resources.
b) Participating Organizations - Identify and include all Federal, State, regional and local organizations that are actively participating in the design and implementation, of the. proposed projec\. The roles and responsibilities of each organization participating in the proposed project must be identified, regardless of the funding source, and one (1) . organization must be identified as the lead organization responsible for managing the proposed proje~t.
c) Major Nonpoint Source Pollution Categories and Subcategories The project description should list all Major Nonpoint Source Pollution Categories and Subcategories that pertain to the project proposal. See Table 1 (page 13) for a selection list.
d) Nonpoint Source Pollution Activities - The project description should list all Nonpoint Source Pollution Activities being addressed by the project proposal. See Table 2 (page 14) for-a selection list.
e) Pollutants to be Addressed - This section should identify the NPS pollutants the project will be addressing.
f) Best Management Practices to be Implemented - The project description should list all best management practices being addressed in the project proposal. See Appendix C for a list of best management practices.
If proposed project activities include Education/Information Activities, the project description
should clearly describe the activities, tangible products, distribution of materials, and target audiences. All educational materials (e.g., manuals, video scripts, brochures) must be submitted to the GAEPD and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for review and approval prior to distribution to ensure consistency with Federal and State regulations and guidelines.

10. Specific Outputs:

I

The specific output section of the project proposal should include a list of all quantifiable outputs (e.g., number of educational materials

developed and distributed, number of BMP's implemented, number of

I

training workshops and reports, etc). Make sure that the specific outputs do not become lost in the verbiage and that they stand out on

the page. For example, use numbers or bullets to denote the specific

I

outputs in the text. Don't promise what the project can't deliver.

If a project proposal includes water quality monitoring, a detailed

I

Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) procedure is required. The QAPP procedures must be submitted to the GAEPD and the USEPA

for review and approval prior to receiving grant funds. See Appendix

I

D, USEPA Region 4 Office of Quality Assurance QAPP Review Checklist.

I

The lead organization is responsible for submitting semi-annual progress reports to the GAEPD for inclusion in the USEPA Grants

Reporting Tracking System (GRTS) by March 31st and August 31st of

each year. These reports must be listed as outputs in the specific

I

output section of the project proposal.

Upon completion of the project outputs, the lead organization is

I

responsible for submitting two (2) hardcopies and an electronically formatted copy of all reports, manuals, monitoring data or other

project documents to GAEPD and USEPA for review and approval.

I

The actual submission of project outputs must be included as a specific output.

I

Upon completion of the proposed project, the lead organization is responsible for submitting two (2) copies of a Final Project Close-

Out Report to the GAEPD and the USEPA for review and approval.

I

Also include the report preparation and submittal as a specific output in the project proposal.

I

If a project proposal is implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs), the project must provide an annual estimate of load

reductions achieved by the project for Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and/or

Sediment.

11. Measures of Success:

. The measures of success.section of the project propos'al should include

an ,9ppropriate evaluation component to determine. the.__~ffecti':,;'eness of

the' project.

.

. .

'

}

. ~

.

The measures of succe~s .section shou.id de,yeJop an evaluation criteria

to evaluate progress towards proje.ct objectives:'' It'is irpportant to define

carefully and exactly how success"willbe determined; and what will be

different once the project is complete. The project proposal should

describe how the evaluation' information will be collected and how the

data wmbe analyzed.

. ,

Measures. of success should not be considered only after the project is over; it should be built into the project. Including measures of success in the project proposal indicates that the project objectives are taken seriously. Measures of success can often be the best means to learn .from the experiences in the project. If a proje;ct propo~al is _implementing 'Best Mana.gement Practic;es.(B,MPs), the pr~j~ct m'u~.t provi9~ an.annual estimate of 1oad reducti9ns' '-ach!eved by' the project for Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and/orSediment. '."

For additional information on measures of success see Appendix E
Measures and /ndic;ators of Progress and Suc'l:ess, in the'Nonpoint
Source Program and Grants Guidance for Fisc~I Year 1997 and
Future Years.

12. Milestones:

I

All project proposals must include a schedule of milestones with estimated starting dates and completion dates. Milestones are

significant events or tasks that occur throughout the implementation of

I

the proposed project. Milestones also include all ou~puts listed in the specific output section of the project proposal. The schedule of

milestones will be used to track the progress of the approved projects.

I

Milestones should include the execution of contracts/interagency

agreements, submission of QAPP procedures, specific outputs,

I

submission of semi-annual reports for GRTS update and final project close-out reports, etc. as shown:

NOTE: The Schedule of Milestones must be prepared in accordance

I

with the example format.

Milestones must be listed in chronological order according to the

I

proposed starting date. Organizations should not plan on initiating projects before October 2002. Please note that project activities eligible

for Federal reimbursement or non-Federal matching funds or in-kind

I

services can not begin until after the grant has been awarded, all terms and conditions of the . grant have been satisfied, and the

contract/interagency agreement between the Georgia Environmental

I

Protection Division and the lead organization has been executed. The USEPA generally adds special terms and conditions to the

Section 319(h) Grants, which may be applicable to the proposed

I

projects. The Section 319(h) FY02 Grant expiration date can not be extended beyond September 2008. Therefore, a// proposed projects

must be completed and all funding must be expended by

I

September 2008.

I

13. Project Budget:
Maxirm.im Federal reimbursement for a Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant project is 60 percent of the total project cost. Therefore, each project must provide non-Federal matching funds or. in-kind services for a minimum 40 percent of the project cost. Thus, for a total project cost of $250,000, the maximum Federal reimbursement would total $150,000 and the non-Federal matching funds or in-kind services would total $100,000.
Allowable costs will be determined in-accordance with the cost principles in "OMB Circular A-87." Copies are available'upon request or at:
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars
The project budget must delineate proposed Federal and non-Federal matching expenditures by object class categories as shown in Table 3 (page 19) and Table 4 (page 20). The project proposal must provide sufficient detail to justify all project costs (i.e., Federal reimbursement and non-Federal matching funds or in-kind services). All proposed budget items must tie back to activities in the project proposal. For example, if a turbidity meter is listed as an equipment budget item, sufficient details about-specific project activities are required to justify the purchase of a turbidity meter.
Personnel budget items should include position titles, salary rates, full time equivalent (FTE), work years, and specific project activities.
Fringe benefits budget items should include the position title, FTE, percentage of fringe benefit charges, work years and specific project activities.
Travel budget items should identify personnel by position title; specific project activities, and the type and purpose of travel.
All equipment budget items and costs must be itemized separately. lfsupply budget items and costs are less then $2,000, they may be
collectively described as monitoring supplies, administrative supplies, printing supplies, etc. If supply budget items and costs are more then $2,000, they must be itemized separately. Contractual budget items must identify the types of .subcontractors and specific project activities. Other budget items and costs must be itemized separately. If indirect charges are appropriate for the lead organization, please include the Federal approved indirect rate -percentage and costs. Note if project is selected for funding, the lead organization will be required to provide GAEPD with a copy of the Federal approved indir~ct rate agreement.

MEASURES AND INDICATORS OF PROGRESS AND SUCCESS

D

To measure the progress and success of their nonpoint source programs, States will generally

need to use at least three sets of measures. These include measures to indicate progress - towards (1) the State's overall water quality vision of ac:hieving and maintaining beneficial uses

D

of water, (2) the long-term goals set by the State in its program (e.g., .installing appropriate

technology at all animal waste facilities that need to be upgraded, or implementing particular watershed projects) and (3) the shorter-term goals and objectives set by the State (e.g.,

D

successfully" implementing a particular technology).

-

. -

-~

The following list illustrates measures and indicators, which States may choose from or add that

D

will help the States measure the progress and success of their programs. States may identify

and use other measures and indicators that are most relevar:it to their nonpoint source problems, programs, and projects. However, States must at least use the three measures of

D

progress that are identified in Section 319(h)(11), (i.e., implementatlon milestones, available

,formation on reductions in nonpoint source pollutant loadings, and available information on

., nprovements in water quality).

D

Further, well-designed State programs will usually include several appropriate measures and

indicators from each of the categories set forth below for each of their projects or program activities. For overall program status and trends, States will generally include measure 1.a.

D

below as part of their Section 305(b) reports.

EPA and its State, Federal and other public and private partners have adopted core indicators

D

to report nationally to measure attainment of five specific objectives. These five objectives are

preserving and enhancing public health; preserving and enhancing ecosystem health; supporting uses designated by States and Tribes in their water quality standards; conserving or

D

improving ambient conditions; and reducing or preventing pollutants loadings and other

stresses. For nonpoint source pollution control, these five objectives are characterized by the measures and indicators presented below.

D

The categories below are approaches, which have been successfully used as water-quality and

implementation measures and indicators, as well as measures of enhanced public education, awareness and action. They are presented as examples, not requirements, and should be used

D

as starting points for discussion.

1. Water Quality Improvement from Nonpoint Source Controls

0

a. Number (or percentage) of river/stream miles, lake acres, and estuarine and coastal square miles that fully support all designated beneficial uses.

D

b. Number (or percentage) of river/stream miles, lake acres, and estuarine and coastal

square miles that come into compliance with one or more designated uses (e.g., a river segment that is neither fishable nor swimmable becomes fishable), or with one or more

D

numeric water quality criteria (e.g., achieves a criterion for phosphorus while continuing

to exceed a criterion for nitrogen). c. Demonstrable improvements in relevant surface and ground water quality parameters.

0

d. Demonstrable improvements in biological or physical parameters (e.g., increase in

diverse fish or macro invertebrate populations, or improved riparian areas or other measures of habitat).

D

D

I

I

e. Opening of previously closed shellfish beds.

f. Lifting of fish consumption advisories.

I

g. Prevention of new impairments (e.g., number of river miles removed from the "threatened" lists, or number of miles of high-quality waters protected).

I

2. Nonpoint Source Pollutant Load Reduction

a. Reductions in pollutant loadings (e.g., by pounds or percentage) from nonpoint sources

I

in impaired/threatened watersheds. b. Reductions in pollutant loadings (e.g., by pounds or percentage) from nonpoint sources

in priority watersheds identified by the State.

I

c. State-wide reduction in pollutant loadings from nonpoint sources. d. In the case of nonpoint source pollution which may result from activities conducted in the

future, prevention or minimization of new loadings, and/or offset of new loadings by

I

reductions from existing sources. e. Reductions in frequencies, or prevention of increases, of peak flows in developing or
developed areas.

I

3. Implementation of Nonpoint Source Controls

a. Number of measures implemented iff watersheds of impaired/threatened waters (e.g.,

I

number of on-the-ground practices implemented that reflect, for example, the "best practicable" approach to solve the identified problem).

b. Percentages of "needed" measures implemented in watersheds of impaired/threatened

I

waters (e.g., where watershed analysis has shown the need to implement measures at 20 sites, annual progress in implementing a watershed project can be shown by the

number of BMPs installed).

I

c. Combination of 2.b. and 3.b. d. Number of approved or certified plans written to address erosion and sediment control,

storm water, nutrient management, or pest management.

I

e. Percent of watershed covered by plans described in 3.d. f. Percent of facilities covered by plans described in 3.d. g. Statistically-based survey of implementation rates (e.g., results of State-approved BMP

use and effectiveness surveys).

I

h. Percent of priority ground water addressed by nonpoint source controls.

4. Public Education. Awareness. and Action

I

a. Participation rates in education programs specifically directed to solving particular

nonpoint source pollution problems.

I

b. Statistically-based survey of public awareness, knowledge, and action to measure changes in attitudes and action over time.

c. Participation rates in various nonpoint source activities, such as citizen monitoring and

I

watershed resource restoration activities. d. Participation rates in various public awareness and education efforts.
