The 319 grant wiki is designed to provide information on how to apply for grants, while also providing a forum to discuss and review 319 grant proposals.
319(h) funds support a wide variety of activities including nonregulatory or regulatory programs for enforcement, technical assistance, financial assistance, education, training, technology transfer, demonstration projects, and monitoring to assess the success of specific NPS implementation projects. Notably, a portion of the section 319 grant funds have been used by States to support implementation of NPS controls in lake watersheds and to monitor the effectiveness of such controls.

Draft Application Review
The Montana Watershed Coordination Council's Water Activities Work Group (WAWG), Ground Water Work Group, and Education/Outreach Work Group have been asked to assist the DEQ nonpoint source program staff in reviewing and providing comment on the 319 Project Proposals. The Work Groups will review the corresponding project proposals and provide comments. The purpose for this review is to provide the applicants with recommendations for strengthening their applications. The recommended edits/comments will be provided in written form to the applicants by DEQ by September 2, 2011. Project sponsors are encouraged to attend the appropriate review meeting.
