Gulf Hypoxia Program
66.485
N/A
The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Public Law 117-58) which is generally referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), enacted November 15, 2021, provides new grant authority and appropriated $60 million for EPA to issue grants, including grants to the 12 Hypoxia Task Force (HTF) States (Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin) to support the implementation of the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan. This Assistance Listing considers relevant approaches to achieving the intended goals and objectives of the program consistent with statutory requirements, including priorities in Executive Order 14052, Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, to invest public dollars equitably, create jobs and high labor stands, ensure goods and services are made in America, and build infrastructure that is resilient and helps combat the climate crisis. Awardees are required to provide annual progress reports which will be used to measure successful implementation and support evaluation. EPA’s funding priority is to award funds to HTF states to implement nutrient reduction strategies and advance bold, systemic actions that accelerate nutrient load reductions in the MARB and to the Gulf of Mexico. EPA expects states to develop workplans that prioritize those actions most effective at reducing nutrient loads, using both proven and innovative approaches, that are now possible with BIL funding for the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan.
