Are projects located in Lake Champlain eligible for funding?
Projects located in Lake Champlain are not within the eligible geographic bounds.
Proposed GLEJGPs must be implemented within the historic Great Lakes Basin, including projects impacting connecting waterways such as the U.S. portions of the St. Mary’s River, Lake St. Clair and the St. Lawrence River (at or upstream from the point at which the St. Lawrence River becomes the international boundary between Canada and the United States)

Lake Champlain drains into the St. Lawrence River at the town of Sorel-Tracy, Quebec, well downstream of the point at which the St. Lawrence River becomes the international boundary between Canada and the United States. It should be noted that while projects located in Lake Champlain would not be eligible, an organization based in Lake Champlain could be an eligible applicant as long as all projects are located within the geographic bounds noted in the RFA.
