The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) received a $1,646,252 Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant (CFDA 66.460) from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support the implementation of its state nonpoint source management program. The 5-year grant, awarded on January 21, 2025, will fund seven projects focused on restoring water quality in impaired watersheds across Wyoming. Key project activities include installing green stormwater infrastructure, implementing agricultural best management practices, constructing treatment wetlands, and conducting water quality monitoring and assessment. The grant will also provide subawards to local government and non-profit partners to deliver on-the-ground pollution reduction and habitat restoration initiatives in the Little Powder River, Kiwanis Park, Gregory Lane, Lower Middle Popo River, Sheridan County, Wapiti Ranger Station, and Green River watersheds. The anticipated outcomes include improved recreational water quality, reduced nutrient and sediment loads, and enhanced aquatic habitat conditions.
