The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting proposals from eligible applicants for projects that support and build state/tribal/local government wetland programs.
All projects submitted for this competition must involve two or more states and/or tribes and/or benefit two or move states and/or tribes or be nationwide in scope.
