Wastewater Grants Project Proposal
Call for Wastewater Grant Program Project Proposals
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is seeking project proposals for the Wastewater Grant Program, as established under Section 403.0673, Florida Statutes. These proposals will be reviewed by DEP to identify viable grant projects as part of the selection process. You may be asked for additional information as necessary so your project proposal for applicable funding opportunities can be fully evaluated.
Eligible projects include:
- Projects to retrofit onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems to upgrade such systems to enhanced nutrient-reducing onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems.
- Projects to construct, upgrade or expand facilities to provide advanced waste treatment, as defined in section 403.086(4), F.S.
- Projects to connect onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems to central sewer facilities.
To be eligible for funding, a project must be located within:
- a basin management action plan;
- an alternative restoration plan adopted by final order; or
- a rural area of opportunity.
Please submit your eligible project proposal using this portal. DEP will accept and review proposals through July 22, 2022, for viable grant projects awards.
Eligible project proposals must be submitted by nonstate entities. Typically, this means local governments, universities or nonprofit organizations. This funding will not be provided by DEP directly to a vendor or private, for-profit entity.
Any information submitted to DEP will become a public record, subject to disclosure in accordance with chapter 119, F.S., and article 1, §24 of the Florida Constitution. Please note that submittal of a proposal does not create an agreement, nor does it guarantee funding.
