Eligible projects fall into three categories: Greeter Projects, Management Projects, and Scientific Survey Projects. The proposal submission deadline is January 30, 2026, with the opportunity initially posted on December 18, 2025. The program is authorized under 10 V.S.A. 1458 and aims to protect, maintain, enhance, and restore Vermont lake ecosystems and their recreational potential.

Specific pricing terms, exact award values, set-aside designations, and detailed funding amounts are not specified in available documentation. The program provides financial assistance to eligible applicants for aquatic nuisance control projects, with administration handled by the Aquatic Invasive Species Program within the Lakes and Ponds Program. Interested entities should contact the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation directly for precise funding ranges, comprehensive eligibility criteria, and detailed project requirements, as the primary RFP document (2026rfpANC.pdf) was unavailable for complete review.
