Water pollution grants available

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Nonpoint Source Program has announced the availability of about $3.3 million in state and federal funding.

The grants are to be dedicated toward 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 three years in length and require a minimum of 25 percent local match.

All projects must implement recommended activities in EGLE- approved watershed management plans.

Eligible applicants include counties, cities, townships, villages, conservation districts, public and private colleges and universities, and incorporated not for profit organizations.

More information is available from Bob Sweet, at 517-512-9765.
