Can the SWP grant fund any activities associated with acquiring land to protect our source?
The SWP grant cannot be used to purchase land; however, it can be used to fund a land survey to identify the property boundaries of the land to be acquired for protection. The SWP grant cannot be used for Environmental Assessment costs associated with purchasing the land. Environmental Assessments and potential cleanup costs may be eligible for assistance through DEQ’s Brownfields Assessment Program. Learn more here or contact Aaron Scheff at (208) 373-0502.
