The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded a $1,509,000 Formula Grant under the Water Quality Management Planning program (CFDA 66.454) to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) to support water quality management planning activities across the state. The grant funding will be used to implement approved watershed-based plans, increase collaboration among watershed stakeholders, implement streambank stabilization and restoration program designs, and support equity and climate assessment efforts. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2028. IEPA plans to release the 604(b) funds as sub-grants to support these water quality management planning activities, which are intended to reduce and prevent nonpoint source pollution, adopt green infrastructure, and address both point and nonpoint source pollution challenges.
