These programs are meant to: Build the capacity of state, tribal, territory or local governments to increase the quantity and quality of wetlands in the U.S. by managing, conserving and restoring wetland acreage and improving wetland condition.
Use one or more of the following “Core Elements” in order to achieve this goal.

EPA has summarized these common core elements, phases, actions and activities in Core Elements of an Effective State and Tribal Wetland Program , also called the "Core Elements Framework."
The CEF describes in greater detail each of the four core elements that make up an effective state, tribal or territory wetland program. These four core elements are: Monitoring and assessment . Voluntary restoration and protection .
Regulatory approaches including CWA 401 certification . Wetland-specific water quality standards .

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
