IDEM: Nonpoint Source: Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grants Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grants Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Grants The Nonpoint Source (NPS) Section in the Office of Water Quality manages two federal pass-through grant programs aimed at improving water quality in the state: Section 319(h) and Section 205(j), each named after the portion of the Clean Water Act that authorizes the program.
The Federal Clean Water Act Section 319(h) provides funding for various types of projects that work to reduce nonpoint source water pollution. Funds may be used to conduct assessments, develop and implement TMDLs and watershed management plans, provide technical assistance, demonstrate new technology and provide education and outreach.
Organizations eligible for funding include nonprofit organizations, universities, and local, State or Federal government agencies. A 40% (non-federal) in-kind or cash match of the total project cost must be provided. (20% if developing a watershed management plan).
Projects are administered through grant agreements that spell out the tasks, schedule, and budget for the project.
Projects are normally two to three years long and work to reduce nonpoint source pollution and improve water quality in the watershed primarily through: Education and outreach designed to bring about behavioral changes and best management practice (BMP) implementation that leads to reduced nonpoint source pollution; The development of watershed management plans that meet U.S. EPA’s required nine elements; and, The implementation of watershed management plans through a cost-share program focusing on BMP implementation that addresses water quality concerns.
IDEM project managers work closely with the project sponsors to help ensure that the project runs smoothly, and the tasks of the grant agreement are fulfilled. Site visits are conducted at least quarterly to touch base on the project, provide guidance and technical assistance as needed, and to work with the grantee on any issues that arise to ensure a successful project closeout.

The SIN covers four functional subgroups, sits under Executive Order 14332, and ties to the $1.2 trillion in annual federal grant awards now flowing through 29 agencies. Here is what the move signals for grantees, grants management vendors, and the long arc of federal grants modernization.
Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
