205(j) Grant Program is designed for projects aimed at reducing
and eliminating pollution at the state level through community
planning processes. Section 205(j) funding was previously
allocated through Section 604(b) of the Clean Water Act.
Eligible organizations include municipal governments, county
governments, conservation districts, and regional planning
commissions. Typical projects have included watershed management
planning, identification of appropriate Best Management
Practices (BMPs), GIS mapping, and sewer feasibility studies.
The funding for this program is provided by U.S. EPA under the
authority of the Clean Water Act. No match is required by the
community. Usual annual funding from U.S. EPA Region 5 to the
state ranges from $0 to $450,000. The average project receives
$30,000 to $70,000.
