Description:
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency will develop and implement Lakewide Action Management Plans (LAMPs) for Lake Erie, as well as the Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) for associated Areas of Concern (AOC).

Activities:
Some of the workplan activities include:
1) Coordinate with many local, state, and federal partners/programs in an ongoing effort to restore Ohio's three Areas of Concern (Maumee, Black, Cuyahoga).
2) Participate in the binational Lake Erie Lakewide and Management Plan, as well as other Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement Annexes.
3) Provide Lake Erie quality assurance support.

Outcomes:
The outputs of the AOC program are to successfully implement approved management action projects, evaluate BUIs and remove those that have achieved their restoration targets, and delist AOCs once all BUIs are removed. The outputs associated with environmental justice and climate resiliency are to address adverse human health, environmental, and climate-related impacts in overburdened communities through improved outreach, communication, and small grants.

Subrecipient:
The subaward activities include the following tasks:
1) Conducting LAMP and AOC program tasks.
2) Issuing EJ/climate resiliency subgrants supporting Lake Erie work.
3) Coordinating statewide AOC forum/summit for Ohio's AOCs.
