Funding through Section 319(h) of the Clean Water Act is provided to the Kentucky Nonpoint Source (NPS) Pollution Control Program from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  Funds can be used to pay for 60 percent of the total cost for each project; a 40 percent nonfederal match is required.

The Kentucky NPS Pollution Control Program seeks projects to compete for funding.  Grants are available for watershed-based plan development and implementation, protection of Special Use Waters with identified threats, as well as other nonpoint source pollution control projects to help mitigate or prevent runoff pollution.  Priority consideration will be given to applications for watershed-based plan development and implementation in 303(d) listed streams and protection of threatened Special Use Waters.

Project Proposal forms may be submitted at any time; however, deadlines apply to specific federal funding cycles. To be considered for 2010 funding, Project Proposal forms must be submitted by Feb. 1, 2010.
