Abstract Long Description

Water Quality Financial Assistance Program
The Department of Ecology′s Water Quality Program administers three major funding programs that provide low-interest loans and grants for projects that protect and improve water quality in Washington State:

• Centennial Clean Water Fund (Centennial)
• Washington State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (SRF)
• Clean Water Act Section 319 Nonpoint Source Fund (Section 319)

Ecology acts in partnerships with state agencies, local governments and Indian Tribes by providing financial assistance for their water quality efforts. As much as possible, Ecology manages the three programs as one; there is one funding cycle, application form and offer list.

The types of projects funded include:

• Planning, design and construction of wastewater and stormwater treatment facilities
• Agricultural best management practices projects
• Stream and salmon habitat restoration
• Local loan funds for water quality projects
• Watershed planning
• Water reuse planning and facilities
• Water quality monitoring
• Lake restoration
• Wellhead protection
• Acquiring wetland habitat for preservation
• Construction of public boat pump-outs
• Public information and education projects
