source water quality education across Arizona.

  _____  


The Arizona Water Quality Improvement Grant Program is pleased to release
the Request
<http://www.azdeq.gov/environ/water/watershed/download/edu_mailer.pdf> for
Grant Applications (RFGA) for education projects. The deadline for
pre-proposals is February 28 by 3:00 p.m. The final application deadline is
March 20 at 3:00 p.m. 

The competitive education grant process is a new component of the Water
Quality Improvement

Grant Program (WQIGP). The overall goal of this program is intended to
promote statewide

efforts to manage nonpoint source pollution.

 

The WQIGP is committed to funding projects that result in the restoration of
watersheds and

improved water quality. This can be best achieved through projects that have
a combination of an

education component to promote behavioral changes, as well as an
"on-the-ground" component

where best management practices are implemented to directly reduce nonpoint
source pollution

to surface and ground waters. The WQIGP recognizes that through education
based programs,

improved water quality can be achieved. The WQIGP will invest funding in
such projects for up

to a two year period. 

 

Please refer to the RFGA for further details.
