The Commission is pleased to continue this grant program to project sponsors specifically targeted to support the collection and reporting of water level data in groundwater production wells in the basin. Grant funding is focused on needs such as purchasing, installing, or maintaining water level monitoring equipment that assist operators in meeting the Commission’s requirements to monitor and report operational data. Most projects in the Susquehanna River Basin approved to withdraw groundwater are eligible to apply. The grant is open to public and non-public project sponsors. Groundwater remediation projects are not eligible for this grant because the collection of water levels is not critical for renewal. Surface water projects are not eligible.

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is pleased to announce grant funding for innovative projects that improve water availability and water quality in the Susquehanna River Basin during droughts. The Commission anticipates awarding a total of $4 to $6 million in grant funding in the second year of the grant program.

The grant application period was open from November 1, 2022 (8:00am) to January 31, 2023 (4:00pm).
