Wetland Program Development Grants (WPDGs) assist state, tribal, local government (S/T/LG) agencies and interstate/intertribal entities in developing or refining state/tribal/local programs which protect, manage, and restore wetlands.
The primary focus of these grants is to develop/refine state
and tribal wetland programs.
A secondary focus is to develop/refine local (e.g.
county or municipal) programs.
Projects must be performed within one or more of the states or federally recognized tribes of EPA Region 3 specifically Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and/or tribal lands in one of those states to be eligible to apply for funding.
In the case of inter-jurisdictional watershed projects, they must be primarily implemented in EPA Region 3.
