Michigan’s Nonpoint Source Program Pass Through Grant Funding Past, Present, and Future Outlook Bob Sweet Past Aquatic Biologist, Present Administrative Wonk, and Future ???

Overview NPS Program Description NPS Pass Through Grants NPS Funding Sources/Trends NPS Pass Through Grants Future Outlook

The Nonpoint Source Program, more than just a grants program. Technical assistance Grants Monitoring Enforcement Pollution prevention & protection Complaint response Watershed planning Permits/compliance Public education Restoration & remediation

NPS Program Grants $98 Million in Grants$98 Million in Grants $63 Million in Local Match$63 Million in Local MatchBenefits: Pollutants Reduced AnnuallyPollutants Reduced Annually –232,332 tons of sediment –121 tons of phosphorus –300 tons of nitrogen Creates Local JobsCreates Local Jobs Environmental benefits = Economic benefitsEnvironmental benefits = Economic benefits Before The City of Battle Creek Police Department Building green roof After

Watershed Management Planning

Structural practices include: 17,028 linear feet stream banks stabilized 32 acres wetlands restored 56 acres forest riparian buffers installed Implementation – Best Management Practices Permanent conservation easements An estimated 4,000 acres will be implemented through CREP Over 2,500 acres have been implemented in non-CREP areas

Low Impact Development Projects Implementation – Innovative Practices Modular pavement, Washtenaw County Rain garden, Allegan County Green roof, Kent County

Illicit connections projects: 26 ongoing projects The 13 completed projects to date resulted in eliminating 1,305 illicit connections and resulted in the elimination of 36.9M gallons of untreated wastewater Implementation - IDEP Dye testing identifies illicit connections

Information/education I/E strategies developed as part of watershed management plans I/E activities to get people involved in water quality project Land use planning: Updating Master Plans to include Water Quality Protection Adopting protective overlay zones (e.g. 35ft-50ft natural vegetation requirement for new development) Implementation - Sustainability

Funds Sources for Pass-Through Grants State: –CMI Nonpoint Source –CMI Clean Water Fund (5 categories) Federal: –Clean Water Act Sections: 319(h), 205(j)/604(b), 104, and 106.

CMI Components Clean Michigan Initiative ($675M) Local Parks ($50M) Clean Water Fund ($90M) NPS ($50M) Lead ($5M) State Parks ($50M) Waterfronts ($50M) Cont. Seds ($25M) Brownfields ($335M) P2 ($20M)

Clean Water Fund $90 million 8 Categories of Activities Divided into: –$45 million for monitoring. –$40 million for water quality grants. –$5 million for CREP

Clean Water Fund 5 Categories of Activities Voluntary Storm Water Permits High Quality Waters. Implementing RAPs and LaMPs. Illicit connections. Failing On-site Septic Systems.

Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Grants $50 million. Implementing physical improvements in approved watershed management plans.

CMI-NPS Funding Trend

Federal Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Funds Section 319 of the Clean Water Act establishes a national program to control nonpoint sources of water pollution All States develop assessments identifying NPS problems as well as management programs to control NPS pollution. Since 1990, Congress annually appropriates grant funds under Section 319(h) to help implement NPS management programs EPA asks Congress to double Section 319 funding. The purpose of the “Incremental” funds is to develop and implement watershed plans in high-priority watersheds. In FY 2001, EPA focused Section 319 incremental grant dollars on implementing nonpoint source TMDLs and in 2002 shifted the focus of the incremental funds entirely to 303(d) listed waters.

Federal Clean Water Act Section 319(h)

Future Outlook???

State Funding - CMI CMI – CWF –Originally $45 million in 5 categories. –All funds have been appropriated and awarded. CMI – NPS –Originally $50 million. –$12.5 million remaining. –$7.5 million to be used to complete RRD cleanups. –$5 million remains for NPS program (2 years).

Future State Funding? CMI 2 –2008 Ballot Effort –Potential for 2010 Ballot?

Federal Funding General downward trend of 319 funds over last few years. Expect FY 09 decrease of about 10% from last years level. General upward trend in DEQ staffing over last few years.
