Non-Point Source Grants

The Non-Point Source Grants, provided by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, support projects addressing critical water quality issues without requiring repayment. Eligible applicants include individuals, businesses, and government agencies. The application process requires detailed project proposals and documentation of effectiveness through monitoring. Funding can also match other sources, enhancing project viability. Successful applicants must submit a final report upon project completion to ensure compliance and accountability.
