Section 319(h) FY05 Guidelines
INTRODUCTION
Section 319(h) FY05 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 currently 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:
BASE: $2.3 million for nonpoint source management projects throughout the State.
INCREMENTAL: $2.3 million to develop, revise, and/or implement TMDL Implementation Plans.
ELIGIBLE PROJECTS
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.
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 May 31, 2004 under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. In addition, priority will be
3
Section 319(h) FY05 Guidelines
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.
NPDES Permits
(Phase I and II MS4 Stormwater Management Programs, CAFOs)
Section 319(h) FY05 Grant monies are NOT available to implement Phase I and II MS4 Stormwater Management Programs. However, Phase I and II communities are still eligible to receive grant funds, provided they are not using project funds or match to satisfy permit requirements.
As per USEPA guidance, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) subject to NPDES permits are NOT eligible to receive Section 319(h) funds. However, off-site management activities of waste transported to an off-site facility not subject to NPDES permit requirements are eligible for grant funds.
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.
Proposals for the Section 319(h) FY05 Grant application must be submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division by May 31, 2004. Any proposal postmarked (or received, if not mailed) after this date will not be considered for funding under the Section 319(h) FY05 Grant.
Applicants will be notified by September 30, 2004 if their Section 319(h) FY05 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) FY05 Grant funds by March 31, 2005.
Helpful 319(h) Hints!
DEADLINE: Submitted proposals must be postmarked by May 31, 2004.

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.
Helpful 319(h) Hints!
A description of the roles and responsibilities for all participating organizations allows for a clear delineation of duties and will help maintain a sense of accountability for project partners. Each project participant should be identified by group name. Roles and responsibilities may be described in narrative or list form, and may be organized in a table or chart for clarity, if desired.
10
Section 319(h) FY05 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 BMPs. General geo-locational information will be required for all installed BMPs (i.e., stream reach, county, drainage area).
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 for monitoring, but need not be included with the project proposal (See Appendix C USEPA Region 4 Office of Quality Assurance QAPP Review Checklist).
For Specific Outputs that include monitoring, please check those that apply:
a. Monitoring Program Elements:
Biological Chemical/Physical Habitat Sediment
b. Monitoring Design:
Paired Watersheds: Upstream - Downstream: Single Downstream: Other:
11
Section 319(h) FY05 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 electronic copy to the GAEPD and the 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 February 28th 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 meeting 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; they 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) FY05 Guidelines
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.
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.
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%
17
Section 319(h) FY05 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. For equipment costs over $5,000, please include brief descriptions, specifications, or actual quotes.
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. For large sub-contracts ($30,000), a detailed budget breakdown
should be attached using the same object class categories.
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.

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.

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.

USEPA GUIDELINES FOR WATERSHED PLANNING
If your project proposes to develop or revise a TMDL Implementation Plan or Watershed Management Plan, USEPA Guidelines require all plans to include the following elements:
a. An identification of the sources or groups of similar sources contributing to nonpoint source pollution to be controlled to implement 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;
d. An estimate of the sources of funding needed, and/or authorities that will be relied upon, to implement the plan;
e. An information/education component that will be used to enhance public understanding of and participation in implementing the plan;
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; and;
i. A monitoring component to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation efforts, measured against the criteria established under item (h).

Watershed Plan Checklist
Adapted from a document prepared by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Watershed Management Section. These requirements are consistent with USEPA guidance.
1. INTRODUCING THE PROJECT: Describe the process the community and stakeholders went through when developing the plan, list the parties involved, and summarize any important issues that influenced how the plan emerged.
Briefly "introduce" the watershed, so readers will understand the scope of the plan. Include the mission, vision, or purpose statement of the stakeholders. Include a map near the beginning of the introduction.
Building partnerships: Describe the structure of the group that made decisions in the plan and the roles of any sub-committees. Describe method of discourse (at meetings, through conversations, in surveys or interviews) and list the major concerns recorded. List partners that developed the actual plan and include their roles and responsibilities. List the major community groups (stakeholders) engaged in the planning process, including how the groups became involved.
2. DESCRIBING THE WATERSHED: Describe features of the watershed, including geology, soil types, topographic features, hydrology, natural history, land use and any other information needed to understand the plan.
Include maps clearly showing watershed boundaries, streams, lakes, towns, counties, and/or other features. Show the location of the project watershed within its larger river basin. Identify watersheds using hydrologic unit code (HUC) as well as geographic name.
Land use should include historical events and current land use information that may help in understanding the watershed and related water quality issues.
3. ESTABLISHING BENCHMARKS: Identify waterbody impairments, water quality threats, and baseline data for water quality and biological community parameters.
Reference any studies and reports, and briefly summarize the information. For collected data, include the source of the data, who collected it, the sampling dates
and locations, and the testing methods if known. Summarize and interpret the data. Include the raw data in an appendix. Indicate any listing in 305(b) and 303(d) reports and note State water quality standards not being met.
4. IDENTIFYING PROBLEM CAUSES and STRESSORS: Identify known or probable causes of water quality impairments and threats. Stressors may include specific pollutants, changes in land use, hydrologic changes, and other factors.
Review all gathered information. Discuss findings with stakeholders and local agencies. Compare original stakeholder concerns with documented impairments and threats. Confirm existing issues, and include new concerns in the plan. Discard those found to be groundless, if appropriate.
53
Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines
Develop concise problem statements concerning impairments, threats, and stressors. State the problem clearly, followed by the probable cause, location of the problem, and extent. Tie concerns, benchmarks, and stressors together so there is a clear thought process throughout the plan.
5. IDENTIFYING SOURCES: Identify the source of the stressors and threats.
Identify specific sources for each pollutant or condition that is acting as a stressor or threat. Explain and document the reasoning behind each identification. Identify all areas of the watershed -- specific subwatersheds, specific land uses, or other defined areas such as "all subdivisions without stormwater control" -- where each source exists.
Describe the sources in detail, and map specific geographic areas or identify the land uses where these activities are likely to occur. Include enough information to explain the magnitude of the source.
6. IDENTIFYING CRITICAL AREAS: Target areas within the watershed where the sources/stressors are causing the greatest damage, and where applying treatment measures will have the greatest effect.
Select the areas to be addressed for each stressor/source, and indicate areas on a map. When prioritizing critical areas, in addition to existing pollution loads, consider funding
possibilities, participation rates, level of impact on a stressor and whether the impact of treatment can be measured.
7. SETTING GOALS and SELECTING INDICATORS: State the water quality improvement or protection goals that were agreed on by the group. Goals must include specific, realistic targets for reducing pollutants or mitigating impacts, and identify time frames for accomplishment.
Craft goals that describe specific issues, locations, targets, and timelines. For each goal, determine indicators measurable parameters to track progress toward the goal.
Indicators may be water quality standards, or indicators that will show change in the aquatic ecosystem, such as benthic macroinvertebrate indices, fish community indices, or habitat evaluations. For indicators other than water quality (such as rate of tillage adoption, miles of riparian forest, or indicators of behavior change) describe the measuring methods.
Goals should incorporate a problem, pollutant or condition; the present condition, the target (desired future) load, level, or value; and when the target is expected to be met.
8. CHOOSING MEASURES TO APPLY: Describe what needs to be implemented or changed to achieve the goals of the watershed plan. Select an array of measures or alternatives to accomplish this.
Work with State, Federal, local, or private specialists as needed to determine measures that will effectively address each goal. Include a discussion of how and why these measures were selected. A "measure" may be a practice, program, or process.
Measures must be feasible, and must be acceptable to the community and not cause undue economic distress. Describe the potential impacts of the measures, both positive and negative. Include economic and social impacts as well as environmental impacts.
54
Section 319(h) FY03 Guidelines
9. CALCULATING LOAD REDUCTIONS: Using methods appropriate to your situation, calculate estimated load reductions for the management measures identified.
Identify the measures for which a load calculation makes sense. Load reduction from agricultural and urban practices can usually be calculated. For agricultural practices, calculate sediment yields and nutrient loads. For non-agricultural land, calculate impervious area, runoff, and any pollutant loads for which there is adequate information.
Determine a reasonable method to calculate the estimated pollutant load change due to implementing measures. For each calculation, state the method used and the assumptions you made.
10. IMPLEMENTING THE MEASURES: Describe the planned order of implementation, the time requirements for implementing the plan, who is responsible for carrying out tasks, and what milestones to check.
List for each goal necessary actions, completion schedules, responsible parties, and resources needed. Set dates when progress on each goal will be reported. USEPA interprets "interim measurable milestones" as practices installed, people contacted, etc., not as changes in water quality. Acknowledge long-term problems and discuss how they will be handled, i.e. through longer-range projects, follow-up monitoring, deferring to another agency, etc.
Estimate and identify sources of financial and technical assistance needed to implement the plan.
11. MONITORING INDICATORS: Describe how indicators will be monitored to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation. If water quality standards and criteria are selected as indicators, describe how water quality will be monitored. Monitoring for other goals may include spot-checking, landowner participation, adoption of practices, or other measurements.
Refer back to the indicators chosen to track progress for each goal, and develop a monitoring plan to track these indicators for at least the next 3 to 5 years. If required, develop a QAPP for monitoring. Load reduction calculations should be linked to the monitoring plan, so actual loads may be calculated as the project progresses.
12. EVALUATING & ADAPTING THE PLAN: Describe when the watershed plan will be reevaluated; who will do it; who is responsible for revisions or adaptations to the plan.
Assign responsibility for revising the plan as needed. If a TMDL is completed in the watershed after the plan has been written, the plan will need to be updated to include the provisions of the TMDL.
