Draft FY21 Funding Priorities for Watershed Projects
The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) anticipates that the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Nonpoint Source (NPS) Program Request for Proposals (RFP) will be released in mid-July. Under this RFP, about $4.3 million in state and federal funding is expected to be available for nonpoint source control projects that implement priority recommendations in approved watershed management plans. The timeline, application and award processes will be similar to previous years. We strongly suggest that applicants consult with NPS staff as they work with partners and stakeholders to develop potential projects. To be eligible for implementation funding, watershed management plans not yet approved must have been submitted by February 14, 2020 and must be approved by EGLE on or before July 15, 2020.

An Informational Webinar will be held Tuesday, July 21, 2020 from 10 to 11 am. Program priorities, the application process, and project and application tips will be covered. NPS staff will also be available to answer questions. The webinar is free but registration is required. Please use the link below to registration for the webinar.
