2023 Clean Water Act Section 319 Nonpoint Source Pollution Grant

Details
Purpose:
The Clean Water Act Section 319 Grant Program awards grants to reduce and mitigate the effects of nonpoint source pollution - such as sediment, pesticides, and nutrients - to waters of the state.
Description:
The program primarily funds implementation projects, but occasionally offers grants for planning projects. Examples of projects include livestock fencing to reduce sediment and nutrient discharges, agricultural best management practices to reduce pesticide and nutrient discharges, dredging contaminated sediment from pesticide-0imparied waters, habitat restoration such as installation of large woody debris and riparian revegetation, and rural road inventories and repairs to reduce sedimentation and erosion. Most awards go to projects that improve impaired waters, but a small amount of funding goes to projects that protect high-quality waters, or that address a nonpoint source pollution problem created by a wildfire.
Eligibility Requirements
Eligible Applicants:
- Nonprofit
- Public Agency
- Tribal Government
Most projects must quantify pollutant load reductions to waters of the sate. Projects must be part of a larger watershed plan to improve overall watershed health, unless it is a planning project.
Eligible Geographies:
Projects must address a program preference, which is a specific watershed or waterbody and pollutant combination that is identified by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Program preferences are listed in the grant guidelines.
