NNotes:
• The Grants Reporting and Tracking System (GRTS) is regularly being improved to
streamline data entry and access.for all grantees: The database is used to capture annual
progress, status updates or attachments are added incrementally to the project each year.
• The final report is added as an attachment (see page 4).
• Tribal 319 projects are a subset of reporting elements that states and territories complete.

Grant Terms and Conditions excerpt describes reporting expectations,
A.1. Project Reports
The recipient agrees to submit reports for all projects identified in the approved work plan,
including those performed by the recipient, subgrantees, contractors, and through interagency
agreements. Reports shall include a comparison of actual accomplishments to the
outputs/outcomes established in the work plan for that period, the reasons for slippage if those
outputs/outcomes could not be met, and any other pertinent information, such as cost
overruns. Reports are due annually/semiannually on insert date each year until the grant is
closed. Reports should be submitted in GRTS. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.329, the recipient
agrees to inform the EPA as soon as problems, delays, or adverse conditions arise that will
materially impair the ability to meet the outputs/outcomes specified in the assistance
agreement work plan. In addition, reports should include three essential elements:
•
•
•

Strategic Plan Goal 5.0,
Strategic Plan Objective 5.2, and
Work plan commitments, plus a timeframe.

A final project report is due to the EPA project officer within 120 days after the end of the
Assistance Agreement Project Period. The report must describe project activities and identify
and discuss the extent to which project goals have been achieved and the amount of funds
spent on the project. The report should emphasize successes, failures, lessons learned, and load
reduction data, and it should include any available water quality and habitat data demonstrating
project results. Acceptance and approval of final project reports is the responsibility of the
recipient. Final project reports will be provided electronically as attachments in GRTS and
submitted in hard copy if required. In addition, the GRTS database should be updated to reflect
the project status as complete.
A.2. Annual Nonpoint Source Program Report
The recipient agrees to provide information required under Section 319(h)(11)(B) for the
purpose of annual reporting on progress under the state’s NPSMP. The Section 319 Annual
Program Report will be due by insert date. At a minimum, the report shall contain a summary of
progress, including rationale/evidence, in meeting the schedule of milestones in the approved
management program and reductions in NPS pollutant loading and improvements in water
quality that have resulted from implementing the NPSMP. Failure to submit the annual NPSMP
report may affect the recipient’s eligibility for future Section 319 grant funding.
A.3. Grants Reporting and Tracking System
The recipient shall enter all mandated data elements into GRTS for NPS projects funded under
Section 319 of the CWA and any other data and/or information required by the EPA or according
to deadlines specified by the EPA.
Initial data entry is due 90 days from the award and includes all mandated data elements except
the geographic area (if still to be determined), BMPs, and load reduction data. The recipient will
report BMP and load reduction data as projects are implemented. At a minimum, the BMP and
load reduction data will be reported by March 31 of each year for projects implementing BMPs
in the previous federal fiscal year.
