View the map to learn if you are eligible! Landowners, farmers and residents in watershed funding areas (orange highlight) are eligible to apply for cost share funding to implement agricultutral or urban practices which will reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment and pathogen in runoff.
Approved applicants can receive up to 75% of the installation cost. Agricultural practices must be installed according to NRCS or other technical standards and must be approved by the Lower Pigeon Creek Project steering committee. Urban practices should submit a project plan detailing practices which will be installed, sizing and cost estimates.
Practices installed in advance of submitting an application, receiving approval and signing a project contract are not eligible for cost share funds. All funds are provided on a reimbursement basis.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
