What’s New with the Stormwater Quality Projects Incentive Grant Programs?

The Water Quality Fees Board held its Quarterly meeting on Jan. 11, 2024. Here are the approved changes from the meeting to note for the upcoming FY25 grant cycle:

  • The Change Order (CO) Program was approved to continue through FY25. This program allows organizations to request additional funding to help cover extraordinary costs caused by certain unforeseen economic challenges, e.g., increases in supplies and/or material costs.
  • Tree canopy establishment/expansions approved to continue for Class A and B Infrastructure scoring matrices.
  • Approval to increase the volunteer rate from $7.25 per hour to $15.00 per hour for all grant types.
  • Approval to allow for preferential scoring for projects that align with proposed BMPs and/or action items of approved Watershed Management Plans.
