Thirty-eight Pollution Prevention Projects Funded through NPS Mini-grant Program

Written by Shannon Wehinger on . Posted in Mini-grant

Chester County Conservation District’s Municipal Workshop project (funded in the 2020-21 NPS mini-grant round) includes a rain garden.

Pennsylvania’s county conservation districts were awarded over $60,000. With this funding, thirty-eight pollution reduction projects will take place in twenty-seven counties. These projects promote water pollution prevention activities through the Non-point Source (NPS) Pollution Prevention Educational Mini-Grant Program. The projects will take place through May 2022.

Funding for the grants, up to $2,000 each, is provided through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A description of the projects funded in the past is available at www.pacd.org under the Education tab.
