EPA-R7WWPD-07-001	Iowa Department of Natural Resources	Wetland Program Development Grants	This project will build upon the wetland assessment methods developed so far to integrate Iowa Department of Natural Resources monitoring methods for three categories of wetlands found in Iowa; natural/existing wetlands, restored wetlands, and high quality reference wetlands.	$267,220
EPA-R7WWPD-07-001	Missouri Department of Natural Resources	Wetland Program Development Grants	This project will develop the Missouri Wetlands Monitoring and Assessment Program. The project is to demonstrate wetlands hydrologic monitoring program; describe and monitor the biological and chemical process required for hydric soil formation at the monitored wetlands; and develop the biologic criteria to assess the biological functions of wetlands to measure wetland health for future wetland assessment at the monitoring sites. Also, initiate a physical wetlands monitoring program for the state.	$299,279
EPA-R7WWPD-07-001	Nebraska Games and Parks Commission	Wetland Program Development Grants	The Rainwater Basin wetlands of Nebraska area is of international importance and provide critical habitat for a variety of wildlife, and may contribute to groundwater recharge and water quality improvement. The functions of these wetlands are severely impaired by past drainage and sedimentation. This project will evaluate the role of Rainwater Basin wetlands in groundwater quality improvement, and analyze the effects of sediment removal on wetland functions.	$226,936
EPA-R7WWPD-07-001	University of Kansas	Wetland Program Development Grants	Wetland monitoring and assessment study to apply and test assessment tools (e.g. criteria/metrics, protocols), provide an estimate of the current condition of floodplain wetlands in the Lower Missouri River study area, and assess the veracity of reference conditions determined in an earlier study. Goals will be accomplished by gathering and assessing water quality, floristic, and macro invertebrates, and landscape data from approximately 40 wetlands selected by an EMAP probability-based approach.	$325,499
EPA-R7WWPD-07-002	Curators of the University of Missouri	Grant	The project will engage with an increasing group of Amish and Mennonite farmers in 12 Missouri counties involved in fresh produce production and will encourage them to adopt best management practices.	$49,562
EPA-R7WWPD-07-002	Iowa State University	Grant	This project seeks to evaluate plant essential oils for their antimicrobial effect on seed-borne and seed-borne pathogens. If successful, the essential oils will be promoted as an alternative to conventional seed treatments.	$39,672
