BOISE - States, territories, and tribes interested in nonpoint source pollution management activities have until July 15, 2024, to submit applications under the federal § 319 grant program.

Section 319 of the Clean Water Act established a grant program to support a variety of nonpoint source pollution management activities, including technical assistance, financial assistance, education, training, technology transfer, demonstration projects, and monitoring to assess the success of specific nonpoint source implementation projects.
