Fillmore County SWCD has received $45,000 in Clean Water Funds to be offered as mini-grants for projects that reduce or treat stormwater runoff to local streams.
Is your community or nonprofit organization interested in planting a raingarden? Would you like to see more stormwater friendly public spaces? The Community Partners Conservation Program, through the MN Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Fillmore County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), is looking for community partners that want to complete projects that restore, protect or enhance water quality in our rivers and streams.
Examples of eligible projects include but are not limited to:
•Rain gardens: basin shaped community or homeowner gardens that collect and infiltrate stormwater
•Rain barrels/cistern systems: rain water collection systems for
homes, garages or other buildings with gutters
•Pervious pavements/pavers: specially designed solid surface or block paver systems that increase porosity without losing structural capacity
•Stormwater basins or swales: vegetated and designed practices that safely convey, detain and infiltrate stormwater from larger areas
•Native prairie and tree plantings: using native grasses, flowers and trees to create natural stormwater “sponges” in place of lawn and turf grasses
Grants funds will be available starting March 2013 through the end of 2015. Eligible community partners include municipal communities, non-profit organizations, citizen groups, businesses, student groups, faith organizations, and neighborhood river or homeowner associations.
For more information about the mini-grant application process, check the Fillmore SWCD website at www.fillmoreswcd.org, or contact Jennifer Ronnenberg at 507-765-3878 x3.
