Formula Grant 25000524

This federal Formula Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447), will provide $1,596,250.00 in funding to the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust. The purpose of this grant is to support the planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects, including the execution and development of overflow and/or stormwater infrastructure projects, across local municipalities in Massachusetts. The Trust and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) will select eligible entities to receive up to $250,000 in sub-grants for planning and/or design projects during the 2025 funding cycle. The anticipated deliverables include plans, designs, and/or constructed overflow or stormwater infrastructure, as well as other related outputs such as integrated stormwater management master plans and sanitary sewer overflow control solutions. The intended outcomes are to protect public health and improve water quality by reducing sewer overflows through the management of stormwater, primarily benefiting municipal entities, including rural and/or disadvantaged communities.
