*$3.3 million in grant funds available for water quality projects*

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy's (EGLE) Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program has announced the availability of about $3.3 million in state and federal funding for watershed projects that restore impaired waters or protect high quality waters from the impacts of nonpoint source pollution. Funds should be available for selected projects in the spring of 2023. Projects can be up to 3 years in length and require a minimum of 25 percent local match. All projects must implement recommended activities in EGLE- approved watershed management plans [ [link removed] ].

Eligible applicants include local units of government (counties, cities, townships, and villages), conservation districts, public and private colleges and universities, and incorporated not for profit organizations with current 501(c)(3) status under the Internal Revenue Code. Individuals, for profit entities, and groups without 501(c)(3) nonprofit status are not eligible applicants but can serve as project partners. Details on eligibility, priorities, required local match, and all necessary forms and instructions for applicants are available at the Nonpoint Source Implementation RFP FY23 page [ [link removed] ].

A webinar will be held Tuesday, September 13, 2022 at 10:00 am to explain this funding opportunity. NPS staff will answer questions and discuss the grant application schedule, program priorities, eligibility criteria, application requirements, tips for successful applications, and new items for this year. Registration [ [link removed] ] is free.

Additional information is available at the NPS Program page [ [link removed] ]. Questions can be addressed to Bob Sweet (517-512-9765 or [email protected]) or to your local Nonpoint Source District staff [ [link removed] ].
