The State Conservation Commission is accepting proposals to reduce nutrient and sediment loads in high priority counties throughout Pennsylvania as part of EPA's Most Effective Basin Program. Proposals are due November 20.
The Commission will be awarding these funds to projects that support public-private partnerships or for special projects that involve partnerships with businesses and corporations or non-profit groups such as local watershed and farm organizations.
Projects must be located in EPA-defined priority watersheds.
For more information please contact Eric Cromer at ecromer@pa.gov.
Visit the State Conservation Commission for information on other conservation programs and county conservation districts.
