Program Overview
The purpose of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Reduction (NPS) Grant Program is to provide financial assistance to projects which measurably preserve Montana's water resources. Nonpoint source pollution is the contamination or other alteration of the physical, chemical or biological properties of state waters. Projects must therefore improve water quality or water quantity, including stream flows and water storage in existing natural systems, such as riparian areas, floodplains, and wetlands.
NPS Project Implementation grants can fund on-the-ground projects that preserve water resources and provide benefits such as erosion reduction, water quality enhancement, and sediment reduction.
Reimbursement
DNRC reimburses eligible project costs on a reimbursement basis.
