How to Apply
We are not currently accepting applications for financial assistance of nonpoint source projects. We will begin accepting applications for new projects in February of 2023. Pre-proposals must be submitted using the Financial Assistance Application Form. The form should be used for all project types, including on-the-ground implementation, 9-element watershed plan development, and information and education.
Be as specific as possible in your pre-proposal. Include your ability to document the success of your project through monitoring before, during, and after project implementation.
Application Review Process
Once your application has been received, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) will decide which funding source, State NPS or Section 319, will be the most appropriate for your project. Upon project completion, all grants awarded by DWQ require a final report to be submitted to the State Nonpoint Source Program Coordinator.
