U.S. Department of Transportation Announces a Funding Opportunity for Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration has opened applications for the FY2022 Notice of Funding Opportunity for the National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grant Program (Culvert Aquatic Organism Passage Program). This annual competitive grant program awards grants to eligible entities for projects that replace, remove, and repair culverts or weirs to meaningfully improve or restore fish passage for anadromous fish. Anadromous fish species are born in freshwater such as streams and rivers, spend most of their lives in the marine environment, and migrate back to freshwater to spawn.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, February 6, 2023.

This webinar is free and open to the public.
