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.

This agreement provides funding to the missouri department of natural resources (modnr) to implement missouri's nonpoint source management program plan, by continued development and implementation of watershed-based plans, including monitoring water quality for these purposes. Activities: missouri will focus on watersheds with water quality impairments caused by nonpoint sources, which will result in improved water quality in these impaired waters. These watershed plans are a mechanism to coordinate monitoring and planning on a watershed basis and will build a foundation for effective implementation actions using federal and other funding. Deliverables and expected outcomes: nonpoint source implementation projects include best management practice (BMP) installation for animal wastes, sediment, pesticide and fertilizer control, a variety of other structural and non-structural practices, watershed planning, monitoring, watershed coordinators, technology demonstration, and a v
