Is it true that financial help is available only in certain areas of Montana?
No, help is available on private and tribal lands throughout the state. Financial assistance is available from NRCS through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). Individual AFO/CAFO applications for EQIP funds compete within a pool established specifically for these projects. These EQIP funds are used solely for projects to address animal waste concerns. For information on the program and ranking criteria established yearly, visit the Montana 2008 State EQIP Information page. There are also grants available through the Section 319 Program of the Clean Water Act, which is administered by the DEQ.
