The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) recently announced about $3.5 million in Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program grants. These funds will support seven projects that will prevent, reduce, or eliminate polluted runoff and other nonpoint sources of pollution.
Among those awarded grants is the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy, Galesburg, which will receive $424,645.
The purpose of these grants is to implement priority recommendations in approved watershed management plans developed to restore impaired waters and protect high-quality waters by reducing NPS loads of sediment, nutrients, bacteria, and other contaminants. These Nonpoint Pollution Control grants are funded through the Renew Michigan Fund and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Section 319 of the federal Clean Water Act.
