This $4,772,900 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA 66.460) supports the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) in implementing its nonpoint source management program. The funding will be used for 18 projects focused on designing, permitting, and implementing best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loading from abandoned mine drainage, agriculture, and stream degradation in impaired watersheds. Additional activities include developing and revising watershed-based plans and conducting stream and lake monitoring assessments. The anticipated outcomes include completed BMP designs/permits, BMP implementations, approved watershed plan revisions/new plans, and water quality monitoring data. The grant period runs from October 2, 2024 to September 30, 2029, and DEP will serve as the primary awardee, potentially partnering with local conservation districts, universities, and non-profit organizations as sub-recipients to deliver the planned activities.
