Targeted Runoff Management Grant Programs
Targeted Runoff Management (TRM) grants are provided to control polluted runoff from both urban and rural sites. The grants are targeted at high-priority resource problems. Projects funded by TRM grants are site-specific and serve areas generally smaller in size than a subwatershed. The grant period is 2 years, with a possible 1-year extension. The maximum cost-share rate available to TRM grant recipients is 70 percent of eligible costs, with the total of state funding not to exceed $150,000. How can TRM grant money be used?TRM grants can fund the construction of rural and urban BMPs. TRM grants can also fund design of BMPs as part of a construction project. Most work may be reimbursed only when done during the grant period. There are two exceptions: land acquisition and design completed prior to the grant can be reimbursed, provided the design and parcel appraisal are approved by DNR regional staff and the construction project is selected for funding. Some examples of eligible BMPs include some cropland protection, detention ponds, livestock waste management practices, stream bank protection projects and wetland construction. These and other practices eligible for funding are listed in ch. NR 153 and s. NR 154.04, Wis. Adm. Code. What projects are not funded by the TRM Grant Program?TRM grants may not be used to fund the following:
