Nonpoint Source Water Quality Grants (Section 319)

The Nonpoint Source Water Quality Grants (Section 319) program, administered by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE), provides financial assistance to units of government, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations. The funding, sourced from the federal Clean Water Act Section 319, is intended for projects that prevent and abate nonpoint source water pollution and facilitate the implementation of the state's Nonpoint Source Management Plan. The primary funding track, Watershed-Based Projects, supports large-scale restoration and protection efforts within defined watersheds.
