The 205(j) Water Quality Planning Grants is a competitive grant program from the NC Department of Environmental Quality, funded by the U.S. EPA, that supports water quality management planning across North Carolina. Projects may involve identifying the nature and causes of water quality problems, developing EPA 9-Element Watershed Restoration Plans for USGS HUC units, mapping stormwater infrastructure, conducting engineering designs for stormwater best management practices, and assessing pollutant sources. Grants are exclusively available to regional Councils of Government (COGs), which may partner with public sector organizations. A match is preferred but not required. Funded projects may run up to 18 months, with funds disbursed on a quarterly reimbursement basis. The RFP is released annually in summer, with proposals due in fall.

On 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.
