This $8,441,150 Formula Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3, awarded under the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA 66.460), supports the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's efforts to implement its Nonpoint Source Management Program. The funding will be used for 20 projects to design, permit, and implement best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loading from abandoned mine drainage, agriculture, and stream degradation in impaired watersheds. Additional deliverables include watershed-based plan development and revisions, stream and lake monitoring, semi-annual/annual reports, and program success stories. As part of this award, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is providing sub-awards to organizations such as the Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Western Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Bucks County Conservation District, Donegal Chapter of Trout Unlimited, and various county conservation districts to carry out specific project activities within their respective areas of expertise and jurisdiction.
