NCDEQ Division of Water Resources awards more than $1. 1M for stream restoration, water management, recreation projects | NC DEQ The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Water Resources (DWR) has awarded more than $1. 1 million in grants to support stream restoration, water-based recreation and water management projects across North Carolina.
The total included $768,950 in grants awarded to seven local governments through the Water Resources Development Grant program state and local projects fund. In addition, DWR awarded another $350,880 to support two stream restoration projects on agricultural lands through a cost-sharing program with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).
“These grants will enable communities across the state to enhance access to water recreation and to help reduce flooding and the negative impacts of stormwater runoff,” said DEQ Secretary Reid Wilson. “Several of these projects will help improve and restore waterways in western North Carolina communities heavily damaged by Hurricane Helene.
” The grant awards can be used for stormwater control measures, including for drainage and flood control; stream restoration projects, including shoreline stabilization and dam or aquatic barrier removals; and to boost access to water-based recreation resources through construction of greenways near waterways, park development or water access sites.
