Last Call – Deadline for Growing Greener Watershed Grants March 3
Photo

The Department of Environmental Protection this week issued a reminder the deadline for applying for the next round of Growing Greener Watershed Restoration Grants is March 3.

DEP will invest in projects that seek to address nonpoint source pollution, such as comprehensive watershed plan implementation; legacy sediment and stream restoration; nutrient and sediment trading; long-term operation and maintenance for watershed projects and mine drainage treatment systems; urban and agricultural runoff; and upgrades to on-lot sewage systems.

Eligible projects also could include reducing nonpoint source pollution in watersheds where streams are impaired; designing practices and activities that support water quality trading initiatives; integrating stormwater management and flood protection into watershed management; encouraging the beneficial use of abandoned mine pool water; and integrating air deposition controls and management with mitigating water quality problems.

For applications and more information, visit the Growing Greener webpage.
