Watershed Plan Development Grant | South Carolina Department of Environmental Services Grant Application Status: Application Period Closed South Carolina public organizations such as state agencies, local governments, public universities, soil and water conservation districts, regional planning commissions, watershed organizations, and nonprofit organizations, are eligible to receive these grants.
Proposals for Watershed Plan Development Grant funding must address and/or protect ambient surface water pollutants that can impact source water for drinking water systems. Target watersheds must be located in South Carolina and contain a public drinking water intake or source water. Such watersheds can be identified by using SCDES's Watershed Atlas .
If selected, applicants are expected to develop and submit a nine-element watershed plan which must be reviewed and approved by SCDES before project close. Please follow the links on this page for more information about the watershed plan expectations. Watershed Plans should recommend Best Management Practices (BMPs) for implementation.
These structural, on-the-ground practices control pollutant loads by reducing the availability of pollutants (ex. fixing a failing septic system), slowing the transport of pollutants to the waterbody (ex. detention pond), and/or treating the pollutant before it reaches the waterbody (ex.
riparian buffer). EPA's Pollutant Load Estimation Tool (PLET) provides descriptions of some (but not all) eligible BMPs available for implementation. Additional practices with water quality benefits may include wastewater system repairs and land protection through conservation easements.
Selected projects will be funded 100% by monies provided to SCDES by USEPA’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund set-aside for Source Water Protection. However, additional consideration will be given to proposals which show supplementary funds leveraged for watershed plan development. Your Watershed Coordinator can help you learn about, develop, and implement watershed plans.

Governor Hochul announced $249 million for 181 water quality projects on October 30, 2026: more than $246 million for 139 Water Quality Improvement Project (WQIP) grants and $2.9 million for 42 Non-Agricultural Nonpoint Source and MS4 Planning Grants. The June solicitation promised at least $75 million. More than $206 million went to environmental justice communities, $122 million to harmful algal bloom watersheds, and $17 million to road salt reduction.

Read articleNorth Carolina became the fifth Workforce Pell state on September 25, 2026. Its community college system once estimated 4% of short-term programs would qualify, then revised to under 1%. The 70/70 rule is not a quality test — it is a data test, and most colleges cannot pass it.
