PA Conservation Districts Grants Support Innovative Pollution Prevention Projects

Pennsylvania’s County Conservation Districts Wednesday received more than $47,000 for 28 projects in 26 counties that promote water pollution prevention strategies through the Non-Point Source Pollution Prevention Educational Mini-Grant Program.
            “Pennsylvania’s conservation districts work every day to control pollution and ensure there is enough clean water for future generations,” said Robert Maiden, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts. “We are grateful to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for providing funding for these projects that will make a difference for Pennsylvania’s citizens.”
            Funding for the grants, up to $2,000 each, is provided through the Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the US Environmental Protection Agency. 
            A list of projects funded is available online.
