Announcement: Water Quality Program State Fiscal Year 2015 Funding Applicant Training Workshops

This is to notify you that the Department of Ecology’s (Ecology) Water Quality Program has scheduled four training workshops for applicants seeking funding for water quality-related projects during the State Fiscal Year 2015 (SFY15) Funding Cycle. A workshop will be held in each of Ecology’s four regions. The workshops are scheduled for 9:00am – 1:00pm on:

  • October 8 in Spokane Valley at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center.
  • October 9 in Ellensburg at Central Washington University.
  • October 15 in Olympia at the Red Lion Hotel.
  • October 17 in Everett at the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center at Comcast Arena.

Ecology shifted the application period for the SFY15 Funding Cycle by approximately one month due to the implementation of  a new web-based grant and loan management system called, Ecology Administration of Grants and Loans (EAGL). Beginning with the SFY15 Funding Cycle, applications and future funding agreements will be managed through EAGL. The workshops will include training on applying for funding through EAGL. The application period runs from October 1 – December 4, 2013.

Potential applicants will receive a “Save the Date” card in the next few days and a “Final Announcement” with details in mid September.
