Description:
This agreement provides funding for the operation of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management's continuing environmental programs while giving it greater flexibility to address its highest environmental priorities, improve environmental performance, achieve administrative savings and strengthen the partnership between Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Through this multi-media performance partnership grant, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management will administer environmental programs for air, water, and waste/toxics throughout the state of Rhode Island and direct resources as appropriate to address environmental and public health concerns.

Activities:
The activities to be performed are/will be identified in the FY24-FY25 and FY26-FY27 priorities and commitments lists, which are in support of the continuing environmental programs funded by this performance partnership grant.

Subrecipient:
The subawards are nonpoint source implementation projects, which involve a range of implementation of actions to reduce nonpoint source pollution and other stressors consistent with Section 319 watershed-based plans approved by EPA. Projects include, but are not limited to, green infrastructure, agricultural best management practices, riparian buffer restoration and on-site wastewater system upgrades.

Outcomes:
The work includes outputs and outcomes associated with managing continuing environmental programs which include activities to protect and maintain air, water, and land by monitoring, using pollution prevention, assessment, and relevant cleanup techniques, permitting, enforcement, standard setting, and/or inspections for the various multi-media programs. These activities will produce measurable environmental public health results to benefit the citizens of Rhode Island.
