This federal Formula Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA 66.460), supports the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) in implementing its nonpoint source pollution management program. The $1,965,252 award, effective August 1, 2024 through September 30, 2029, will fund a variety of projects through sub-awards to five Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, the Town of Fairfield, and the Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments. The funded activities include implementing structural and non-structural best management practices (BMPs) to reduce polluted runoff, developing watershed-based plans, conducting water quality monitoring, and delivering public education and outreach programs. The key expected outcomes are the improvement and restoration of water quality in impaired water bodies, as well as the protection of potentially threatened waters, across the state of Connecticut.
