This page provides information on funding sources and funding opportunities for stormwater projects, as well as a list of currently funded and previously funded projects.
Contents
Funding sources
- State of Minnesota Watershed Project Funding: Funding opportunities for watershed projects around the state are available through federal and state funds. These funds are awarded through either competitive watershed grants (such as Federal Section 319 and State Clean Water Partnership) or non-competitive (for Clean Water Fund dollars) processes. For information about other water-related funding opportunities at the MPCA, please visit Financial Assistance Grants and Loans.
- The Clean Water Revolving Fund, also known as the Clean Water State Revolving Fund or simply SRF, is established under the Federal Clean Water Act and state law to make loans to for both point source (wastewater and stormwater) and nonpoint source water pollution control projects. The PFA prepares an annual Intended Use Plan (IUP) based on a Project Priority List developed by the MPCA. The IUP describes the projects and activities eligible for funding during the state fiscal year. This fund includes an allocation for green projects. For more information, see the Clean Water Revolving Fund page.
- Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment: Funds are available for stormwater projects through the Board of Water and Soil Resources. Check the web site for information on availability of funding and also examples of stormwater projects that have been funded with Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment funding.
- Watershed Districts: Cost share programs are available through many watershed districts. Contact your local watershed district to find out if you are eligible for project funding. Contact the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts for more information.
- Soil and Water Conservation Districts: Cost share programs for stormwater projects may be available through your local soil and water conservation district. Contact the Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts.
Funded projects
- On January 22, 2014 the Board of Water and Soil Resources Board approved the FY 2014 clean water fund recipients. To see a list of stormwater projects, click on this link.

Currently funded projects
- Forest Lake Stormwater Filtration Retrofit — 2013
- Sponsor: Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District
- Contact: Watershed Administrator, 651-209-9753, or Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District
- Funding source: Clean Water Partnership Grant $143,025
- Purpose: This project will implement a stormwater retrofit of an existing stormwater pond and shoreline stabilization project in the Hilo Lane development, circa 1970s, located on the south shore of Forest Lake. Stormwater treatment for this 14 acre tributary drainage area comprised of residential land uses will include bio-filtration, iron enhanced sand filtration, channel stabilization and shoreline stabilization. The estimated nutrient reduction from the project is almost 12 pounds per year of total phosphorous.
- Assessing and Improving Pollution Prevention by Swales
- Sponsor: MN Department of Transportation
- Contact: Barbara Loida, MNDOT 651-366-3760
- Funding source: Local Road Research Board $ 314,000
- Purpose: This research will document the pollution prevention available through infiltration into the soil of swales and develop practical soil modifications which will make it possible to utilize existing right-of-way to meet permit requirements. The research will also develop methods to remove dissolved phosphorus and heavy metals in swales. Maintenance requirements will also be documented, demonstrating another advantage in using swales for pollution prevention and for runoff volume control.
- Sand and Long Lakes Protection Project-2013
- Sponsor: Comfort Lake-Forest Lake Watershed District
- Contact: Jim Shaver, 651-433-2150
- Funding source: Clean Water Partnership Grant $: 132,000
- Purpose: Implementation activities proposed as a part of the project include water quality monitoring, biotic surveys, sediment core sampling, mechanical treatment of curly-leaf pondweed, an iron enhanced sand filter, with a high capacity multi-stage weir and 40,000 pounds of iron filings and stakeholder involvement in the design process and educational presentations.
Previously funded projects
- Assessing Enhanced Swales for Pollution Prevention - 2011
- Sponsor: University of Minnesota
- Contact: Dr. John Gulliver, 612-625-4080, gulli003@umn.edu
- Funding source: EPA 319 grant $400,000
- Purpose: This research will demonstrate the effectiveness of a new stormwater treatment system developed specifically for capturing dissolved phosphorus and heavy metals from roadway runoff.
- Fulda Phosphorus Reduction Initative - 2011
- Sponsor: Heron Lake Watershed District
- Contact: Jan Voit, 507-793-2462, jan.voit@mysmbs.com
- Funding source: EPA 319 grant $12,600
- Purpose: Through this effort, project sponsors will conduct a rain garden demonstration project to work with the community to address pollution concerns. This will be done by providing educational opportunities with the community to address pollution concerns. This will be done by providing education opportunities for students and the community to learn about native vegetation, water quality improvement, pollution reduction, and environmentally-friendly landscaping. This project will provide opportunities for students to learn about the importance of water quality improvemetn and how they can play a part in pollution reduction efforts.
- Sand Creek Stormwater Retrofit Project-2011
- Sponsor: Coon Creek Watershed District
- Contact: Jim Shaver, 651-433-2150, jshaver@cmscwd.org
- Funding Source: Clean Water Partnership $83,650
- Purpose: Installation of two of the four most cost-effective projects to reduce phosphorus, total suspended solids and stormwater runoff volumes in Sand Creek. The two BMPs installed were a new stormwater pond and a network of nine strategically placed curb cut rain garden retrofits. Estimated eighty percent reduction of TSS and fifty percent reduction of total phosphorus and six percent reduction of volume.
