2027 Virginia Section 319(h) Nonpoint Source (NPS) Implementation Program Request for Applications (RFA)

The 2027 Virginia Section 319(h) Nonpoint Source Implementation Program Request for Applications seeks proposals from public bodies and nonprofit environmental organizations to implement projects aimed at reducing nonpoint source pollution across Virginia. This is not a competitive procurement for private sector goods or services, and applications must be submitted directly through the designated process, not via eVA. Eligible applicants are encouraged to design initiatives that address water quality impairments caused by agricultural runoff, urban stormwater, and other nonpoint sources, with a focus on measurable environmental outcomes aligned with state and federal clean water goals. Funding is intended for on-the-ground practices, education, technical assistance, and monitoring activities that enhance the health of Virginia’s watershed systems. All applications must be received by September 1, 2026, and are managed by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality under NAICS code 924120, which classifies the solicitation under governmental environmental programs. Proposals should demonstrate clear goals, feasible implementation timelines, and strong partnerships with local stakeholders. Carol Papazian of the Department of Environmental Quality is the designated point of contact for inquiries, reachable via email or phone. Projects are expected to take place throughout Virginia, with funding dependent on the availability of federal Section 319(h) grant dollars allocated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Successful applicants will be selected based on environmental impact, technical merit, and the ability to leverage additional resources.
