Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00250
The Clean Vessel Act (CVA) Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, created under the Clean Vessel Act of 1992 (signed November 4, 1992; codified at 33 U.S.C. 1322). It was established by amending the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act, also known as the Wallop-Breaux Act (16 U.S.C. 777). The central purpose of the program is to reduce pollution from recreational boating by supporting facilities and services that properly collect and manage sewage and related wastes from boats, helping keep waterways cleaner and safer for people, fish, and wildlife.
Funding under the program is directed to U.S. states and comparable jurisdictions, specifically the 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. commonwealths, and U.S. territories. Eligible applicants are state governments (and equivalent territorial/commonwealth governments) that can plan and deliver statewide or jurisdiction-wide projects. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.616 and is categorized under the Environment funding activity area.
Grant funds can be used to construct, renovate, operate, and maintain pumpout stations and other waste reception facilities that serve recreational boaters. In practical terms, this covers the infrastructure that allows boaters to dispose of sewage and other boater-generated waste at designated locations rather than discharging into waterways. Alongside building and maintaining these facilities, the program also supports boater education and outreach efforts focused on the use, benefits, and availability of pumpout stations and waste reception facilities, since facility access only translates into cleaner water when boaters know where stations are and choose to use them.
This particular opportunity listing is identified as Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00250, with a creation date of August 31, 2018, and an original closing date of December 24, 2018. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary. The listed award ceiling is $1,500,000. The posting shows "Expected Awards: 0," which typically indicates the announcement is not specifying a set number of awards in advance or that award counts may vary based on appropriations and eligible submissions.
The program has continued through subsequent reauthorizations of the underlying acts, which has allowed CVA funding to remain available over time.
