Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

INTRODUCTION
Section 319(h) FY03 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 authorities operating local government delivery programs, regional development centers, local school systems, State colleges and universities, and State agencies). State law prohibits non-governmental 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.
Under Section 319(h) of the Clean Water Act, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) awards a Nonpoint Source 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) Grant funds are limited. Therefore, the GAEPD uses a competitive process to ensure that the most appropriate projects are selected for funding.
The State is scheduled to receive approximately $4.6 million to fund nonpoint source management projects, which is allocated to the following:
$2.3 million for nonpoint source management projects throughout the State.
$2.3 million to develop, revise and/or implement TMDL Implementation Plans.
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 that implement the nonpoint source components of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that have been finalized as of June 30, 2003 under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. In addition, priority will be given to project proposals that develop, revise and/or implement TMDL Implementation Plans and/or Watershed Management Plans to alleviate the criterion violations identified in the Section 305(b) and Section 303(d) lists of waters which are partially or not supporting beneficial uses due to nonpoint sources of pollution. In addition, priority will be given to projects that develop and/or implement NPDES Phase II MS4 Stormwater Management Programs.

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

Maximum 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 total project cost.
Sample Calculation: Federal funds requested X 40% = non-Federal matching funds 60%
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.
Types of activities which are eligible include: regulatory or non-regulatory programs for enforcement, technical assistance, financial assistance, education, training, technology transfer, TMDL implementation projects, watershed restoration projects, demonstration projects, update and refinement of nonpoint source programs and assessments, monitoring to assess the success of specific nonpoint source implementation projects, ground water activities, and certain urban stormwater control 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) FY03 Grant application must be submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division by June 30, 2003. Any proposal postmarked (or received, if not mailed) after this date will not be considered for funding under the Section 319(h) FY03 Grant.
Applicants will be notified by September 30, 2003 if their Section 319(h) FY03 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) FY03 Grant funds by March 31, 2004.
Helpful 319(h) Hints!
DEADLINE: Proposals must be submitted to the GAEPD by June 30, 2003.

Helpful 319(h) Hints!
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.

NEW FOR SECTION 319(h) FY03 GRANT
NPDES Phase II MS4 Stormwater Management Programs
Municipalities may use Section 319(h) FY03 Grant funds to develop and/or implement NPDES Phase II MS4 Stormwater Management Programs.
The Phase II Final Rule, published in the Federal Register in December 1999, requires NPDES permit coverage for stormwater discharges for certain regulated "small" Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s). Operators of regulated "small" MS4s must develop a Stormwater Management Program that includes the following six minimum control measures:
Public Education and Outreach Public Involvement/Participation Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Construction Site Runoff Control Post Construction Runoff Control Pollution Prevention/Good Housekeeping
Operators must determine the appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) and measurable goals for each minimum control measure. The National Menu of BMPs is available at:
http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/stormwater/menuofbmps/menu.cfm
Priority will be given Stormwater Management Program project proposals that result in, measurable (quantitative) improvements in water quality, implement structural Best Management Practices and actions to alleviate the "criterion violated" identified in the Section 303(d) and Section 305(b) lists of waters, and implement the nonpoint source components of TMDL Implementation Plans and/or Watershed Management Plans.

6. Roles and Responsibilities of Participating Organizations:
Identify and include all Federal, State, regional and local organizations that are actively participating in the design and implementation of the proposed project. The roles and responsibilities of each organization participating in the proposed project must be identified, regardless of the funding source, and one organization must be identified as the lead organization responsible for managing the proposed project.

11

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

7. Specific Outputs:
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 training workshops and reports, etc). Make sure that the specific outputs are clearly indicated. For example, use numbers or bullets to denote the specific outputs in the text. Please be realistic and do not promise what the project can't deliver.
Best Management Practices: For projects implementing structural Best Management Practices, the following outputs should be included. Please note that all management practices implemented with Section 319(h) Federal or non-Federal matching funds must be properly operated and maintained for at least 5-10 years.
a. Description: Type and description of BMP. b. Installation: Number of BMPs implemented should be included in the project
outputs. c. Load Reductions: If a project proposal is implementing Best Management
Practices (BMPs) to alleviate nutrients and/or sediment, one output of the project must be estimates of load reductions achieved by the project for nitrogen, phosphorous, and/or sediment. Please indicate if the Load Reduction figures will be based on monitoring or modeling. If modeling will be used, indicate the name or type used. d. Wetlands: Indicate acres to be restored or protected. e. Streambank Stabilization: Indicate linear feet to be restored or protected.
Monitoring: For project proposals that include water quality monitoring, a detailed 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 C USEPA Region 4 Office of Quality Assurance QAPP Review Checklist.)

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

Products: Products are all materials produced by the project, and may include maps, reports, manuals, monitoring data, brochures, videos or other project documents. Upon completion of project outputs, the lead organization must submit two hardcopies and one electronically formatted copy 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. The actual submission of project products must be included as a specific output.
Semi-Annual Reports: 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 output section of the project proposal.
Final Close-Out Report: 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. Also include the report preparation and submittal as a specific output in the project proposal.
8. Measures of Success:
The measures of success of the project proposal should include an appropriate evaluation component to determine the effectiveness of the project.
The measures of success section should develop evaluation criteria to evaluate progress towards project objectives. It is important to define carefully and exactly how success will be 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 will be 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 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 and the linear feet of streambank or acres of wetlands protected or restored.
For additional information on measures of success and specific examples, see Appendix D Measures and Indicators of Progress and Success, in the Nonpoint Source Program and Grants Guidance for Fiscal Year 1997 and Future Years.

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

Helpful 319(h) Hints!
If your project proposes to develop or revise a TMDL Implementation Plan or Watershed Management Plan, the following elements should be included:
a. An identification of the sources or groups of similar sources contributing to NPS pollution that will need to be controlled to implement the load allocations or achieve water quality standards. Sources should be identified at the subcategory level (See Table 3) with estimates of the extent to which they are present in the watershed (e.g., X numbers of cattle feedlots needing upgrading, Y acres of row crops needing improved sediment control, or Z linear miles of eroded streambank needing remediation);
b. An estimate of the load reductions expected for the management measures described under paragraph (c) below;
c. A description of the NPS management measures that will need to be implemented to achieve the load reductions established in the TMDL or to achieve water quality standards, recognizing the natural variability and the difficulty in precisely predicting the performance of management measures over time, and of the critical areas in which those measures will need to be implemented;
d. An estimate of the sources of funding needed, and/or authorities that will be relied upon, to 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;
e. An information/education component that will be used to enhance public understanding of and participation in implementing the plan; this component should be developed, and discussions with the public should be begun at the beginning stages of the plan development;
f. A schedule for implementing the management measures that is reasonably expeditious;
g. 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 implemented;
h. 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 plan needs to be revised; or if a NPS TMDL has been established, whether the NPS TMDL needs to be revised; and
i. A monitoring component to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation efforts, measured against the criteria established under item (h) immediately above.

17

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

Helpful 319(h) Hints! What is a TMDL?
A TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) is a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a river, stream or lake can receive and still meet water quality standards. For a list of the State of Georgia TMDL Lists of Waters, see Appendix A. For more information see the USEPA website:
www.epa.gov/owow/tmdl/
14. Major Nonpoint Source Pollution Categories and Subcategories: List all Major Nonpoint Source Pollution Categories and Subcategories that pertain to the project proposal. See Table 3 for a selection list.
15. Nonpoint Source Pollution Activities: List all Nonpoint Source Pollution Activities being addressed by the project proposal. See Table 4 for a selection list.
16. Best Management Practices to be Implemented: The project description should list all Best Management Practices being addressed in the project proposal. See Appendix B for a list of Best Management Practices.

18

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

17. Project Budget:
The project budget must delineate proposed Federal and non-Federal matching expenditures by object class categories as shown in Table 1. 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.
Helpful 319(h) Hints!
All proposed budget items must be justified in the project proposal, and must correspond directly 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.
Allowable costs will be determined in accordance with the cost principles in "OMB Circular A87." Copies are available upon request or at:
www.whitehouse.gov/omb/circulars
Maximum 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 nonFederal matching funds or in-kind services would total $100,000.
Helpful 319(h) Hints!
Local Match: Section 319(h) projects are required to show substantial commitment at the local level by providing 40% of the total project cost in local funds or in-kind services. Federal funds may be used for up to 60% of the total project cost.
Sample Calculation:
Federal funds requested X 40% = non-Federal matching funds 60%

19

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

Object Class Categories:
Personnel: Personnel budget items should include position titles, salary rates, full time equivalent (FTE) (i.e. if staff puts 100% of their time into the project, then they are 1.0 FTE), work years, and specific project activities.
Fringe benefits: Fringe benefits budget items should include the position title, FTE, percentage of fringe benefit charges, work years and specific project activities.
Travel: Travel budget items should identify the personnel traveling by position title, the specific project activities to be conducted, and the type and purpose of travel. Out of state travel will not be approved.
Equipment: All equipment budget items and costs must be itemized separately.
Supply: If supply 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: Contractual budget items must identify the types of subcontractors and specific project activities.
Other: Other budget items and costs must be itemized separately.
Indirect charges: If indirect charges are appropriate for the lead organization, the Federally approved indirect rate percentage and costs should be included. (If project is selected for funding, the lead organization will be required to provide GAEPD with a copy of the Federal approved indirect rate agreement.)
Helpful 319(h) Hints!
When procuring property and services under a grant, the lead organization must follow the procurement policies and procedures as delineated in 40 CFR Part 31.36. Copies are available upon request.

Appendix D
MEASURES AND INDICATORS OF PROGRESS AND SUCCESS
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 achieving and maintaining beneficial uses 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., successfully implementing a particular technology).
The following list illustrates measures and indicators, which States may choose from or add that will help the States measure the progress and success of their programs. States may identify and use other measures and indicators that are most relevant to their nonpoint source problems, programs, and projects. However, States must at least use the three measures of progress that are identified in Section 319(h)(11), (i.e., implementation milestones, available information on reductions in nonpoint source pollutant loadings, and available information on improvements in water quality).
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. below as part of their Section 305(b) reports.
EPA and its State, Federal and other public and private partners have adopted core indicators 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 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.
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 as starting points for discussion.
1. Water Quality Improvement from Nonpoint Source Controls
a. Number (or percentage) of river/stream miles, lake acres, and estuarine and coastal square miles that fully support all designated beneficial uses.
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 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.

51

Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines

d. Demonstrable improvements in biological or physical parameters (e.g., increase in diverse fish or macroinvertebrate populations, or improved riparian areas or other measures of habitat).
e. Opening of previously closed shellfish beds. f. Lifting of fish consumption advisories. 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).
2. Nonpoint Source Pollutant Load Reduction
a. Reductions in pollutant loadings (e.g., by pounds or percentage) from nonpoint sources 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.
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 reductions from existing sources. e. Reductions in frequencies, or prevention of increases, of peak flows in developing or developed areas.
3. Implementation of Nonpoint Source Controls
a. Number of measures implemented in watersheds of impaired/threatened waters (e.g., 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 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).
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. 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). h. Percent of priority ground water addressed by nonpoint source controls.
4. Public Education, Awareness, and Action
a. Participation rates in education programs specifically directed to solving particular nonpoint source pollution problems.
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 watershed resource restoration activities.
d. Participation rates in various public awareness and education efforts.
