The Nonpoint Source Program of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Division, is pleased to announce that it is now accepting project applications for the federal fiscal year 2025 (FY25) and fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Clean Water Act Section 319 and 205(j) grants.
The CWA Section 319 and 205(j) grants support locally-led, voluntary projects that address nonpoint sources of pollution to Wyoming’s surface and groundwater. Project applications are reviewed and recommended through an annual competitive process. Section 319 grant funds primarily support “on-the-ground” watershed restoration or protection projects. Section 205(j) grant funds support water quality management planning projects sponsored by local planning agencies (i.e., cities, towns, counties, and conservation districts).
To review full details on grant requirements, available funding, project and sponsor eligibility, and application guidelines, and to download the required application forms, please visit the “Grant Resources” tab on the Nonpoint Source Program website. Please be sure to access and complete the correct forms. Applications submitted on past years’ forms will not be accepted.
Grant Application Training Webinar: The Nonpoint Source Program will host a grant application training webinar on August 11th from 10:00 to 11:30 am. The webinar will provide:
1. An overview of the CWA Section 319 and 205(j) grants, application forms, guidance, and application process.
2. Guidance for developing a competitive application.
3. An opportunity to ask questions about application submittal.
