Grants Available (May 2020)

The Banklick Watershed Council is currently accepting grant applications for Agricultural Best Management Practices!

We can help fund bacteria, sediment, or nutrient management strategies.  Many of these solutions have a direct benefit to the local streams and waterways, something important to the Banklick Watershed Council. 
 
This includes, but is not limited to:

  •   - fenceline feeding stations,
  •   - alternative water sources,
  •   - rainwater harvesting,
  •   - heavy use area stabilization,
  •   - stream/pond exclusion fencing, or
  •   - stream crossings.

Program Requirements:

  1. The property must be within the Banklick Watershed.
  2. You must have an Ag Water Quality Plan.
  3. Landowner match dependent upon the relative benefit to water quality (typically 10-25%)




Grant Process

  1. Complete an application and submit to Banklick Watershed Council.  Applications will be accepted and evaluated as they are received. 
  2. Site visit to determine suitable water quality Best Management Practices (BMP).  Develop an approved BMP plan. 
  3. Submit the BMP plan and cost estimates from two contractors (if applicable), and a description of the type of landowners’ contribution (cash, materials, labor) for review and approval by the Banklick Watershed Council.
  4. Install BMPs and have staff inspect/certify their installation.  Submit the Certification of Completion and maintenance agreement to Watershed Council for reimbursement.
