OEPA: Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program Grant

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program aims to enhance the state's vital water resources by funding projects that restore and protect high-quality streams and wetlands. Despite progress, challenges like habitat degradation and siltation threaten water quality. The program offers a maximum funding of $15 million to support initiatives that address these ecological concerns and promote biodiversity, ensuring the health of Ohio's waterways for future generations.

Water resources are among Ohio's most valuable assets, and while significant progress has been made to maintain and improve these resources, habitat degradation, hydromodification, and siltation continue to impair overall water quality.
The goal of the WRRSP is to counter the loss of ecological function and biological diversity that jeopardize the health of Ohio's water resources. To achieve this goal, the WRRSP provides funding for the implementation of projects that specifically target the protection or restoration of high-quality streams and wetlands.
