BOISE - Applicants interested in implementing agricultural or ranching best management practices have until April 15, 2024, to submit applications under the state Agricultural Best Management Practices (BMP) Grant Program.

The grant program supports water quality improvement efforts statewide, including helping landowners modify their agricultural practices to reduce water pollution and meet the objectives of total maximum daily load requirements. Eligible projects must address agricultural or ranching BMPs and be ready to implement. Projects must also involve multiple partners and leverage other funding resources.

Application Process

DEQ transitioned to a new online grant management system known as AmpliFund. All interested applicants will need to create an account and submit a completed application using the new system. Resources and instructions can be found on DEQ's Grant Funding Resources web page and Nonpoint Source Subgrants in Idaho web page under the header "Important Dates and Other Information."

DEQ is accepting applications from March 15 to April 15, 2024.
