The PA DEP recently announced the award of $14.4 million in Watershed Restoration Grants for 129 projects, with more grants to come. The $14.4 million represents the seventh round of funding awarded by DEP under the traditional Growing Greener program. In addition, DEP is recommending $1.1 million in Nonpoint Source Implementation Program Grants, funded through Section 319(h) of the federal Clean Water Act. A comprehensive list of grant recipients can be accessed at http://www.depweb.state.pa.us/news/cwp/view.asp?a=3&q=481323. The Growing Greener grants announcement came a little more than a week after Governor Rendell announced the first $65 million in grants under voter-approved Growing Greener II bond initiative. That law brought to fruition more than a year of aggressive efforts to continue to address some of the state’s most pressing environmental problems. A list of projects funded under the first Growing Greener II grants can be found at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/newsreleases/default.asp?ID=3708. PA DEP announced that the next round of Watershed Restoration Grant applications are due March 3.
