The NH Dept of Environmental Services is soliciting pre-applications for stormwater and nonpoint source projects under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund. While this program has traditionally provided funds for wastewater treatment and unlined landfill closures, since 2010 it also has been available for stormwater and nonpoint source projects.
