Heritage Land Conservation Fund provides funding for natural areas that possess unique features such as habitat for rare and endangered species, areas important to migratory birds, areas that perform important natural functions that are subject to alteration or loss and areas to be preserved in their natural state for public use, outdoor recreation and education.
In-Lieu Fees Program - The objectives of this funding program in the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources are implementation of stream or wetland restoration/enhancement projects and mitigation of disturbances from on-site construction projects.
Kentucky Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program seeks projects to compete for funding. Grants are available for watershed restoration projects and watershed implementation plan development as well as other nonpoint source (NPS) pollution control projects to help mitigate or prevent runoff pollution. Funds can be used to pay for up to 60 percent of the total cost for each project. A 40-percent nonfederal match is required.
Local Acid Mine Drainage Reclamation Projects - Funding is available through the Kentucky Department for Natural Resources to provide comprehensive service to the citizens negatively impacted by historic coal mining, support innovative and sustainable economic benefits to revitalize communities, provide potable drinking water to negatively impacted coalfield communities, and enhance the environment through reclamation and restoration of land and water resources.
