The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MODNR) received a $3.24 million Formula Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 under the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA 66.460) to implement Missouri's Nonpoint Source Management Program Plan from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026.
The award will fund MODNR's continued development and implementation of watershed-based plans, including water quality monitoring, to address water quality impairments caused by nonpoint sources in targeted watersheds. Key deliverables include the installation of best management practices for animal wastes, sediment, pesticide and fertilizer control; watershed planning, coordination, and monitoring activities; technology demonstrations; and other structural and non-structural practices. The watershed plans and implementation actions supported by this grant aim to coordinate stakeholder engagement and improve water quality in impaired water bodies across Missouri over the five-year period.
