Vermont Clean Water Initiative Program Spending Plan
The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) Clean Water Initiative Program (CWIP) funds projects that improve water quality by reducing nutrient and sediment pollution. The CWIP State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2022 Spending Plan serves as a communication tool to clean water project proponents and prospective/current grant/contract recipients outlining current year (SFY 2022) funds available and anticipated funding opportunities. CWIP’s spending plan also serves as an internal planning tool to track annual progress implementing funding programs and initiatives. Initiatives and funding levels are subject to change over the year based on demand and administrative capacity. The State Fiscal Year 2022 runs from July 2021 through June 2022. CWIP continues to operate under the SFY 2021 Funding Policy until otherwise noticed on this page.
