The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is offering 2025 Source Water Protection Grants to fund projects aimed at safeguarding public drinking water sources. These grants are designed to support activities that reduce the risk of contamination to drinking water, ensuring the long-term quality and safety of Idaho's water supply. The program aligns with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, specifically Section 1452, which provides funding for source water assessment and protection efforts. By focusing on preventative measures and community-wide protection, the DEQ seeks to uphold its mission of protecting human health and the quality of the environment. The primary beneficiaries of these grants are public water systems, local government units, special districts, associations, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and tribes within Idaho. The impact goal is to improve the protection of one or more public water supply sources by reducing the threat of contaminants. Projects are expected to provide long-term benefits to source water quality, ultimately ensuring safe and reliable drinking water for communities across the state. The program prioritizes efforts that go beyond normal operational standards and existing infrastructure deficiencies, focusing on proactive and sustainable solutions. The program's priorities and focus areas are diverse, encompassing various strategies to protect source water. These include contaminant source identification through research, contaminant pathway removal such as the closure of abandoned wells, contaminant removal through hazardous waste collection and pollution prevention, and contaminant management via the implementation of best management practices and structures to divert contaminated runoff. Additionally, the grants support the restoration and conservation of ecological functions within source water protection areas, as well as education and information sharing campaigns to raise awareness. Security measures to protect physical extraction structures like wells, springs, and intake structures are also eligible, including fencing, gates, alarms, signs, cameras, locks, and lights directly related to source water area protection. Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in the risk of drinking water contamination, improved source water quality, and enhanced long-term protection for public water supplies. The grants anticipate fostering a proactive approach to water resource management, leading to more resilient and secure drinking water systems. With up to $750,000 available for project funding in SFY2025, and a maximum request of $24,000 per project proposal, the program aims to support numerous initiatives that collectively contribute to a safer and more sustainable water future for Idaho. The emphasis on community public water supply systems and aquifer/watershed-wide protection efforts reflects a comprehensive strategic approach to water resource stewardship.

The King County Flood Control District is offering Flood Reduction Grants to address flood risks and enhance community resilience within King County, Washington. This program aligns with the District's mission to protect residents and infrastructure from flooding, demonstrating a commitment to proactive environmental management and public safety. The grants are designed to support a variety of projects that contribute to flood reduction and related environmental benefits. The target beneficiaries for these grants include a broad spectrum of entities such as non-profit organizations, special purpose districts, Tribes, cities and towns within King County, and King County agencies. Homeowner associations and schools are also eligible for the "Original Flood Reduction Grant" category. The impact goal is to significantly reduce potential or existing flood risks to property and public infrastructure, while also promoting ecological improvements such as fish passage restoration and shoreline stabilization. The program prioritizes projects across four distinct categories: Original Flood Reduction, Urban Streams, Coastal Erosion/Coastal Flooding, and Culvert Replacement/Fish Passage. Each category has specific focuses, from general flood reduction projects and stormwater retrofits in the Original Flood Reduction category, to green infrastructure and stream restoration in Urban Streams. Coastal Erosion/Coastal Flooding projects emphasize increasing resiliency to sea level rise and restoring shorelines without increasing hard armored shorelines. Culvert Replacement/Fish Passage projects focus on restoring fish passage while also demonstrating flood risk reduction. Expected outcomes include tangible reductions in flood frequency and severity, improved water quality, enhanced habitat for fish and wildlife, and increased community resilience to climate change impacts, particularly sea level rise. Measurable results will be tied to the successful implementation of projects, such as the number of culverts replaced, acres of shoreline restored, or properties protected from flooding. The District's strategic priority is to invest in solutions that offer both immediate flood protection and long-term environmental sustainability, reflecting a theory of change that integrates ecological restoration with hazard mitigation to create more resilient communities. The total amount available for 2024 is at least $12 million, with matching funds encouraged but not required, demonstrating a robust commitment to these outcomes over a grant duration of three years.
