Purpose


Section 403.890, F.S., establishes the Water Protection and Sustainability Program, requiring the Department to develop rules for the distribution of cost-share grants to implement projects to reduce urban nonpoint sources of pollution discharging to impaired waters. This chapter establishes the TMDL Water Quality Restoration Grant Program, setting forth the procedures for applying for cost-share grants, as well as the criteria that will be used to rank and select urban stormwater retrofitting projects for funding.
