The PA Association of County Conservation Districts this week awarded  more than $47,000 for 27 projects in 24 counties that promote water pollution prevention strategies through the Non-point Source (NPS) Pollution Prevention Educational Mini-Grant Program.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to work with Pennsylvania’s conservation districts to implement projects throughout the Commonwealth that improve the quality of life for our families,” said Robert Maiden, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts (PACD). “The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection has generously provided this funding which is an investment in clean water for our communities.”

Funding for the grants, up to $2,000 each, is provided through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
