GRANT PROGRAMS:
Water-Quality Mini-Grant Program Policy — The purpose of the Water Quality Mini-Grant Program is to supplement state and federal grant/ incentive programs or private funds specifically designated to offset costs associated with the implementation/installation of Best Management Practices (BMP’s) designed to prevent erosion, mitigate non-point source nutrient and sediment run-off, and generally improve downstream water quality. Reimbursements will cover on–the–ground project costs only; no administrative costs or in-kind contributions from the applicant will be paid.
The projects to be funded must be specifically related to water quality improvement. The following are examples of projects, which will be considered (Authorized BMP’s include):
Stream crossings and agricultural ramps
Diversion ditches
Spring developments for livestock use
Riparian vegetative buffers
Root wads, live fascines, and other vegetative stream-bank stabilization methods
Placed stone and/or mortared walls (stream-bank stabilization)
Channel deflectors
Gabion slope protection
Other NRCS or DEP approved stabilization methods
Evaluation of new Erosion and Sediment control products on publicly-owned construction projects.
