DEEP Clean Water Act Section 319 Nonpoint Source Grants
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) is now accepting proposals for fiscal year 2025 Clean Water Section 319 grants. Section 319 of the Federal Clean Water Act (Section 319) is a Federal program to control nonpoint sources (NPS) of water pollution. Connecticut receives funds from EPA for Section 319 grants that can be passed onto communities, local conservation groups, and other organizations for NPS implementation projects, plans, and statewide NPS management efforts.
Priority projects for FY26 include: Watershed Based Plan Implementation Projects, Watershed Based Plan (WBP) Development, Natural Hazards, and Advancing the Connecticut NPS Management Program Plan.

National Estuary Program Watersheds Grant Program
The National Estuary Program (NEP) Watersheds Grant Program is a nationally competitive grants addressing the most pressing threats to estuarine health within the 28 NEP boundary areas. This program is offered through Restore America’s Estuaries, with funding from the U.S. EPA.
Program priorities include: 1) Habitat loss (wetlands, seagrass, mangroves, reefs), 2) Coastal resilience and sea level rise, 3) Nutrient pollution, 4) Stormwater impacts and erosion, and 5) Invasive species and marine mammal mortalities.

National Estuary Program Watersheds Grant Program
The NEP Coastal Watersheds Grant Program is a nationally competitive grants program designed to support projects that address urgent and challenging issues threatening the well-being of estuaries within the 28 NEP boundary areas.
This grant program funds projects aimed at addressing the following Congressionally-set priorities: • Loss of key habitats resulting in significant impacts on fisheries and water quality such as seagrass, mangroves, tidal and freshwater wetlands, forested wetlands, kelp beds, shellfish beds, and coral reefs; • Coastal resilience and extreme weather events including flooding and coastal erosion related to sea level rise, changing precipitation, warmer waters, or salt marsh, seagrass, or wetland degradation or loss and accelerated land loss; • Impacts of nutrients and warmer water temperatures on aquatic life and ecosystems, including low dissolved oxygen conditions in estuarine waters; • Stormwater runoff which not only can erode stream banks but can carry nutrients, sediment, and trash into rivers and streams that flow into estuaries; • Recurring harmful algae blooms; • Unusual or unexplained marine mammal mortalities; and • Proliferation or invasion of species that limit recreational uses, threaten wastewater systems, or cause other ecosystem damage.
