About this program
The Department of Agriculture National Resources Conservation Service stopped awarding grants under this program in 2010 and has not posted recent grant opportunities; pursuit is not recommended.
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) Ground and Surface Water Conservation track, CFDA 10.918, provided technical and financial assistance to eligible farmers and ranchers to implement structural and land management conservation practices addressing water conservation and natural resource concerns on their lands. The program aimed to help farmers comply with Federal, State, and tribal environmental laws while encouraging environmental enhancement. Funding flowed through the Commodity Credit Corporation.
The program funded exclusively Cooperative Agreements. Between October 2006 and January 2010, NRCS awarded 31 cooperative agreements totaling $1.2 million in federal dollars obligated. Award volume peaked in 2007 and 2008, with nine awards per year each; activity declined sharply in 2010 with only two awards before ceasing entirely. Individual award magnitudes ranged from approximately $3,100 to $94 thousand, with most falling between $30 thousand and $60 thousand. Recent awards in 2009 and 2010 included cooperative agreements of $10,020, $7,200, $4,868, and $6,448.
The most recent grant award dates to January 12, 2010—now 16 years, 9 months past. No grant opportunities are currently posted or have been posted recently under this Assistance Listing. The source provides no evidence of activity after 2010, indicating the program has been inactive or dormant for over a decade and a half.
