This file is an addendum and questions-and-answers document related to a Request for Applications (RFA) issued by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation for a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) 3-Acre Adoption program. However, the document content is not accessible due to a HTTP 404 error, preventing review of specific addendum updates, clarifications, or responses to applicant inquiries that may have been posted to address questions about the program requirements and procedures.

Based on the associated RFA, the program seeks applications from eligible MS4 communities in Washington County and Montpelier City that have assumed or will assume responsibility for local three-acre stormwater sites and integrate them into their MS4 permits. Applications are due October 9, 2026. The program provides financial and technical assistance for developing and implementing stormwater treatment practices to comply with MS4 permit obligations, with available grant funds applicable to either the three-acre site itself or other projects identified in Phosphorus Control Plans or Flow Restoration Plans. Grantees are required to provide a 20% local match of total project costs. The specific total funding available, individual award amounts, grant term duration, and detailed evaluation criteria were not specified in accessible documentation at the time of this summary.
