Funding model structure and associated Puget Sound Geographic (NEP) funds
Introduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish Discussion
The Action Agenda serves as the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan under the authority of the National Estuary Program (NEP).
The EPA Puget Sound Geographic (NEP) funds: Must be used to implement NTAs or
identified critical gaps in the Action Agenda
The SI’s were established in 2015 to better align funding with the Action Agenda
Each SI is advised by a “Strategic Initiative Advisory Team” (SIAT)
SI funds primarily implement NTAs in the Action Agenda
Introduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish Discussion
Since SI leads have been identified we have funded NTAs from both the 2016-2018 and the newly adopted 2018-2022 Action Agenda
This current SI model builds on the Lead Organization funding model 7 Lead Organizations, 2011-2019,
organized by programmatic focus Solicited projects in alignment with
the Action Agenda
The starting point for all of the SIATs:
EPA factors to consider when awarding Puget Sound Geographic funds:
1. NTA tier is a place to start2. Focus on NTAs that have a relationship to a
critical priority pathway in an Implementation Strategy
3. Consider tribal priorities and treaty rights4. Priority science and monitoring gaps5. Cross-cutting or synergistic opportunities 6. Cost effective for results (bang for the buck)7. Pilot/priming/planning investments 8. Agency directives (fr. Congress/OMB/EPA)9. Non-capital projects that have fewer
dedicated funding sources 10. Other available sources of funding

Constants…• Only funded NTAs
• Used EPA Funding Guidance
• SIAT Makes Recommendations
• Stormwater SI has funded the SIAT recommendation without changes
• LIOs Identify $100k projects
Introduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish Discussion
Factors to Consider • Start with the AA ranking
• Implementation Strategy critical pathways
• Source of funds
• Synergistic opportunities
• Bang for the buck
• Pilot/Priming/Planning Investments
• Biennial Science Workplan
• Significant gaps
EPA Funding GuidanceEPA provided the SI leads and the SIATs with funding guidance that we used to select projects for funding.
This guidance gave us sideboards for making funding recommendations that differed from the Action Agenda ranked lists.

Introduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish Discussion
“What story do we want to tell over time about the strategic use of Habitat Strategic Initiative NEP funds?”
To develop thematic narratives, the SIAT considered: Habitat Implementation Strategies Existing momentum of Habitat SI work/grants EPA guidance and Habitat SIAT values for NEP funding
Four thematic funding narratives emerged: Incentives and behavior change Monitoring and information Gaps Geographic multi-benefit planning Regulations and compliance
What is the FY18 piece of the story?
Approaching the new Action Agenda
Introduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish DiscussionIntroduction Stormwater Habitat ShellfishIntroduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish Discussion
VALUES FOR 2018 NEP FUNDING
Create a holistic, strategic funding package that builds on previous investments
Address key, non-capital needs by investing in enabling conditions, planning, and behavior change
Leverage funding to advance implementation of the Implementation Strategies
Funding Recommendation ProcessIntroduction Stormwater Habitat Shellfish Discussion
Process1. SIAT developed thematic funding narratives based on
EPA guidance and SIAT values
2. SIAT worked in sub-groups to develop and refine criteria for selecting NTAs to discuss (initial cut: 87 NTAs)
3. Each sub-group put forward a list of NTAs (39 combined), and the full SIAT chose via survey their top NTAs (27) for full-SIAT discussion
4. SIL collected information (owner and partner)
5. SIAT reviewed, discussed, and voted on each NTA to develop the recommendation
