$400K-PLUS AVAILABLE IN CLEAN WATER GRANTS

The Department of Planning and Natural Resources' Environmental Protection Division will hold two public meetings to educate the public on how to apply for the more than $400,000 in Pass Through Grants available for Fiscal Year 2001.
The grants, $419,333 in all, are funded through the Federal Clean Water Act for nonpoint source pollution control projects using best management practices for priority watershed areas, and for educating critical audiences. The meetings will also focus on discussing new ideas with grant applicants.
The first meeting for applicants is at 6 p.m. on Feb. 21 at the Curriculum Center in Kingshill, St. Croix; the second is the following day at 6 p.m. on St. Thomas, at the Curriculum Center in Anna's Retreat.
Applicants unable to attend the meetings can obtain information by calling Syed Syedali at DPNR, Environmental Protection Division, at 733-0565 or e-mail videpstx@viaccess.net.
