NJDEP, Division of Watershed Protection and Restoration, Bureau of Watershed ManagementThis data represents projects funded by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) Water Quality Restoration Grant Program (WQRGP) within the Division of Watershed Protection and Restoration. The WQRGP is part of the Statewide Nonpoint Source (NPS) Management Program, which highlights key actions that the Department and its partners use to control NPS pollution and restore water quality throughout New Jersey. The State of New Jersey utilizes a variety of funds to restore, prevent, and/or mitigate NPS pollution. Funding sources include USEPA pass-through grants issued under Section 319(h) and 604(b) of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and other Federal and State funds that may be available for NPS-related water quality restoration activities. Each year the program solicits Request for Proposals (RFPs) for projects that will reduce non-point source pollution. Generally, grants are focused on restoration of water quality predominantly impaired by NPS pollution for waters located in a priority waterbody or region where the grant will help implement an approved Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) or Watershed Based Plan (WBP). To demonstrate measurable water quality outcomes grantees must provide pollutant load reduction estimates (where applicable) utilizing the USEPA Spreadsheet Tool for Estimating Pollutant Loads (STEPL) or other non-proprietary load reduction estimation model.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/f6c268b893334d0c95832bf969e446ff_108engNew Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) Bureau of GISPublicWatershed Restoration Projects in New Jersey [New Jersey]Web servicesNew JerseyLast Modified: 2025-11-24
