Request for Applications for Watershed Restoration and Protection Grants Through the Growing Greener Program

[35 Pa.B. 1282]

   As part of the 2005 Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) Growing Greener Program (Program), applications are now being accepted for watershed restoration and protection grants. Under 27 Pa.C.S. §§ 6101--6113 (relating to Environmental Stewardship and Watershed Protection Act), the Department is authorized to allocate these grants to a variety of eligible applicants, including: counties, authorities and other municipalities; county conservation districts; watershed organizations; and other organizations involved in the restoration and protection of the environment in this Commonwealth.

   For the upcoming grant round, the Department will invest in projects that seek to address nonpoint source pollution, such as abandoned mine drainage, urban and agricultural runoff, atmospheric deposition, onlot sewage systems and earth-moving activities. Eligible projects could include reducing nonpoint source pollution in watersheds where streams are impaired; designing practices and activities that support water quality trading initiatives; integrating stormwater management and flood protection into watershed management; encouraging the beneficial use of abandoned mine pool water; and integrating air deposition controls and management with mitigating water quality problems.

   The deadline for submitting applications to the DEP Grants Center (Center) is March 4, 2005. Applications must be postmarked no later than March 4, 2005. If hand delivered, the package must be received by the Center by 4:30 p.m. on March 4, 2005, at the following address. Late submissions will not be considered.

   Through the same application, applicants can apply for additional funding through the Department's source water protection and flood protection grant programs. Source water protection grants are available to water suppliers and municipalities to develop and implement local source water protection programs for the protection of community drinking water sources. Flood protection grants are for communities that operate and maintain State and Federal flood protection projects.

   To request or download an application, or to obtain more information concerning the Program, visit the Growing Greener website: www.dep.state.pa.us/growgreen. Persons can send e-mails to GrowingGreener@state.pa.us or contact the Center at (717) 705-5400.
