The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources is now accepting proposals for projects that address stream restoration, water-based restoration and water management.
DWR is seeking proposals for stream restoration, water-based recreation and water management projects through the current spring 2025 application cycle of the Water Resources Development Grant Program.
The State & Local Projects program provides cost-sharing grants of up to 50% of non-federal project costs for stream restoration, water-based restoration and water management projects. Grants are also offered for stream restoration projects on agricultural lands that are cost-shared with the Natural Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). DWR typically receives $3 million for state and local projects, and $2 million for EQIP projects annually. More details can be found in the program overview.
