The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering this Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 grant to eligible Indian Tribes and intertribal consortia. This grant, authorized by Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 319, aims to fund the implementation of approved Nonpoint Source (NPS) management programs. The primary purpose of this grant is to control pollution emanating from nonpoint sources that impact navigable waters and enhance water quality. Grant recipients are required to develop comprehensive NPS management programs. These programs must pinpoint and implement best management practices and measures to significantly reduce pollutant loadings, as identified in the Tribe’s NPS assessment report. This initiative empowers tribal nations to address water pollution and foster healthier aquatic environments.
