GLIN==> U.S. EPA releases details on programs and projects to be funded under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative

The Great Lakes Interagency Task Force has released a list of programs and
projects proposed for funding under President Obama's proposed $475 million
Great Lakes Restoration Initiative:

http://epa.gov/greatlakes/glri/2010GLRIProgramsProjects.pdf

The list is organized under the five focus areas being addressed by the
Initiative: 

*	Accountability, Monitoring, Evaluation, Communication, and
Partnerships
*	Habitat and Wildlife Protection and Restoration
*	Invasive Species
*	Nearshore Health and Nonpoint Source
*	Toxic Substances and Areas of Concern

Within each focus projects are listed by agency, with a title and brief
description, and the provisional funding level for fiscal year 2010.
Whether the proposed programs and projects are actually funded depends upon
actual appropriations and the development of Interagency Agreements
consistent with the principles and criteria of the Initiative.

A substantial portion of the proposed funding will be administered through
grants, contracts and project agreements.  U.S. EPA and other federal
agencies may release requests for proposals as early as this summer.

Additional information and documents on the Great Lakes Restoration
Initiative are available from U.S. EPA's website at
