NEW: 100% Award, Private BMP Incentive Program
The District’s Boad of Directors is pleased to reissue the Private BMP Incentive Program which provides financial assistance to Participating Landowners that invest in activities that will improve water quality in Long Creek.
Eligible project examples include: structural stormwater BMPs such as gravel wetlands, underdrained soil filters, vegetated swales, and rain gardens; stream and wetland protection or restoration; establishment or enhancement of vegetated buffers to capture and filter stormwater; good housekeeping and pollution prevention projects; implementation of snow removal practices or acquisition of snow removal equipment that will result in reduced salt use; and heated sidewalks.
Details concerning the program can be found in the Request for Proposals on LCWMD’s website.
LCWMD has allocated $295,000 to this program for fiscal year 2024 (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024). New this year, awards are for up to 100% of project costs (previously awards were for up to 75% of project costs), with a cap of $50,000.
Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis through June 30, 2024, or until the allocated funds are exhausted.
If you have any questions about this program, please contact LCWMD’s Executive Director, Peter Carney, via email to pcarney@restorelongcreek.org or telephone by calling (207) 894-4320.
