Water Resources Development Grant Program
The purpose of this program is to provide cost-share grants and technical assistance to local governments throughout the state. Applications for grants are accepted for seven eligible project types: general navigation, recreational navigation, water management, stream restoration, water-based recreation, Natural Resources Conservation Service Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) stream restoration projects and feasibility/engineering studies. The navigation and coastal storm damage mitigation projects are collectively referred to as coastal infrastructure projects. The non-navigation projects are collectively referred to as state and local projects.
State & Local Grants
The program is administered by the Division Water Resources (DWR), N.C. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C., 27699-1617.
The department may provide state funds in amounts not to exceed the percentages stated in G.S. 143-215.71 of either the nonfederal costs (in the case of a project with federal agency funds) or the total costs (in the case of a project not receiving federal funds). The General Assembly placed a 50% cost-share maximum on Water Resources Development Grant awards during their 2020 session. This limit will remain in place until rescinded by the General Assembly. Based on limited annual funding received for grant awards statewide, applicants are encouraged to not exceed a $200,000 funding request ($50,000 for engineering/feasibility studies); however larger awards may be granted on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, it is recommended that administrative costs do not exceed 10% of the total project budget. DWR can issue grants for the nonfederal share of water resources development projects for the following purposes:
Stream Restoration: Restoration, stabilization or enhancement of degraded streams & shorelines, aquatic barrier removals, etc. Refer to the Restoration Types section in the latest version of the NC Land & Water Fund’s Applicant Funding Manual Restoration Program to select the appropriate restoration type to select as a ‘Treatment’ in our application spreadsheet.
Water Management: Stormwater control measures, drainage, flood reduction/resiliency, hydrologic restoration, etc.
Water-based Recreation Sites: Greenways, Trails, Boardwalks; Paddle Access, Fishing Docks/Piers; land acquisition for water-based recreation sites operated by local governments.
Preliminary Feasibility or Engineering Study: towards implementation of one of the three eligible categories listed above.

Shallow Draft Navigation Channel Dredging Projects

Stat. § 143-215.73F, revenue in the Fund may only be used to provide the State’s cost share of the costs associated with any dredging project designed to keep shallow draft navigation channels located in State waters or waters of the State located within lakes navigable and safe. The cost share for dredging projects shall be at least one non-State dollar for every three dollars from the fund (S.L. 2022.74). No cost-share shall be required for dredging projects located, in whole or part, in a development tier one area for a ferry channel maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
