Ecology’s Water Quality Program is pleased to announce the publication of the State Fiscal Year 2019 Final Water Quality Funding Offer List and Intended Use Plan (Final List). The Final List describes how Ecology will use state and federal dollars to fund projects to improve and protect water quality.
The Final List is available at https://fortress.wa.gov/ecy/publications/SummaryPages/1810020.html.
Ecology is offering more than $155 million in financial assistance for 69 high-priority clean water projects across Washington state. The total includes roughly $12 million from the Centennial Clean Water Program, $1.5 million from the Clean Water Act Section 319 Program, $27 million from the Stormwater Financial Assistance Program, and $115 million from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.
To ensure that funds were directed to the highest priority projects, our water quality specialists evaluated and scored all eligible project proposals. Scores were compiled, and a statewide priority list was developed. Projects offered funding are based upon the priority list, the type of project, and the funding source.
All applicants will receive a letter about their funding status from Ecology by next week. If your project is offered funding, the letter will list your Ecology contact(s).
