Nonpoint Source Watershed Planning Request for Proposals (RFP) Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Information
Contact: Bob Sweet 517-512-9765
The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is requesting proposals to develop new or update existing watershed management plans. Under this RFP, it is anticipated that up to $244,500 in federal Clean Water Act section 604(b) funding will be available for watershed planning projects. We strongly suggest that applicants consult with Nonpoint Source (NPS) staff as they work with partners and stakeholders to develop potential projects. The RFP, appendices, and instructions are posted below.
Applications will only be accepted through EGLE’s new EGX Grant Management System. Organizations considering applying for this or other future EGLE grant opportunities must first register through MILogin. Instructions for MILogin registration and training materials for the EGX system are linked below.
A webinar was held on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, to explain the FY 2024 NPS Program funding for watershed planning projects and the new EGX system. NPS staff discussed the grant application schedule, program priorities, eligibility criteria, application requirements, tips for successful applications, and answered questions from the audience.
