SEATTLE — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has $10 million in grant funds that will be used to protect and restore Puget Sound watersheds. It is accepting proposals until Jan. 5.
Tribes, local governments and special purpose districts are eligible. Funds will go to projects that help achieve the Puget Sound Partnership's action agenda. EPA is looking for proposals that integrate land use decisions and watershed protection efforts while either improving shellfish growing areas, cleaning up contaminated sediments and controlling contamination, or restoring and protecting estuarine wetlands.
