AK DEC Alaska Clean Water Actions Grant

The Alaska’s Clean Water Actions (ACWA) was established by the Governor’s office and Alaska’s resource agencies to prioritize waterbodies for appropriate stewardship actions and to better coordinate resources and agency efforts to protect and restore these waterbodies. The State agencies involved are the Departments of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Natural Resources (DNR), and Fish and Game (F&G). The ACWA grant solicitation is only one of many activities which are undertaken individually and jointly by these state resource agencies in support of maintaining the integrity of Alaska’s water resources.

We are soliciting grant proposals for projects that will address the following priorities:

1. Stewardship projects that address stewardship actions.
2. Restoration projects on ACWA high priority waters to carry out identified priority restoration activities.
3. Protection projects on ACWA high priority waters, including data collection and monitoring.

Note: Applicants can fill out one application that will be evaluated for possible funding from multiple funding sources. The funding sources and the approximate anticipated funding available for FY15 are shown below. All awards are subject to appropriation and availability of funding. Additional detail regarding the funding sources and eligibility can be found in Appendix B.
