Federal Grants To Clean Up Waterways

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Kentucky is making $1.8 million in federal grants available to pay for cleaning up polluted streams, rivers, lakes and underground aquifers and to protect already clean waters from pollutants. The grants are for watershed restoration projects and for watershed implementation plan development, as well as for other projects that reduce and prevent runoff pollution. The funds are provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and can be used to pay for up to 60% of the total cost for each project. The Kentucky Division of Water determines which projects receive the funding.
