CLEAN WATER ACT Section 319 Grant Funds Robin F. “Rob” Rung Contracts / Grants Officer Water Quality Planning Bureau Department of Environmental Quality

319 Overview  DEQ is the lead Montana agency for the NPS program, and for the Clean Water Act Section 319 grant program.  Grant funds are used to further Montana’s Non Point Source Program (NPS) goals.  Montana’s primary goal is to protect clean water and restore water bodies that are impaired by NPS that do not meet state water quality standards.

Protecting and Restoring  Protection of clean water that meets or exceeds standards is accomplished through the use of Best Management Practices (BMPs), and the application of education and outreach (E&O) activities.  For impaired water bodies that are not meeting standards, the State’s goal is to restore those waters through the development and implementation of science-based, locally-supported Watershed Restoration Plans (WRPs). Restoration of impaired water bodies is primarily done through implementation of BMPs as called for in approved WRPs.

Categories  Watershed Restoration (including planning)  Groundwater  Education & Outreach

All 319 Grants Must…  Be submitted by an eligible applicant  Provide a 40% cost share in Non-Federal Matching funds  Keep Contract Administration costs to 10% or lower for 319 funds requested  Address the following: Education & Outreach, Reporting, Operation & Maintenance, Monitoring and Document Cooperative Efforts.

Project Funding  319 Funds can not be the sole source of project funding…especially for storm water projects.  Several State and Federal Grants exist and enhance each other for the project as a whole.  Start planning the project early and exploring all funding options. Let funding sources know about your project.  Check DEQ website for Natural Resource Grant Matrix at:
