Formula Grant 99818622

This Formula Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency provides $2,184,330 to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to implement the state's Nonpoint Source Management Program under the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants (CFDA #66.460) program. The funding will support six subawards focused on on-the-ground projects, education and outreach, local capacity building, and stream bank stabilization and restoration. These activities are designed to reduce nonpoint source pollution in impaired water bodies through best management practices and restoration plans consistent with Colorado's 2012 Nonpoint Source Management Plan. Anticipated outcomes include reductions in sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus loads and improved habitat and water quality. Final and annual reports will describe progress under the grant. The intended beneficiaries are Colorado residents and all who benefit from healthier watersheds across the state.
