EPA EPA 841-F-24-001 September 2024 Advancing Watershed Protection Through Land Conservation: Eligibilities & Approaches in the Clean Water Act Section 319 Program Clean Water Act Section 319 Congress enacted Section 319 of the Clean Water Act in 1987, establishing a national program to control nonpoint sources of water pollution. Through Section 319, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awards grant funding to states, territories and Tribes to implement their nonpoint source (NPS) programs. NPS programs can include regulatory or nonregulatory programs, technical assistance, financial assistance, education, training, technology transfer, watershed projects and monitoring to assess the success of specific NPS implementation projects. Collectively, this work has restored over 12,300 miles of rivers and streams and over 230,000 acres of lakes and other waters across the United States. NPS pollution, unlike pollution from industrial and sewage treatment plants, comes from many diffuse sources. NPS pollution is caused by rainfall or snowmelt moving over and through the ground. As the runoff moves, it picks up and carries away natural and human-made pollutants, finally depositing them into lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, coastal waters and ground waters. How NPS Programs Work Each state implements its NPS program consistent with an EPA-approved NPS Management Program Plan. States implement their NPS program with Section 319 funding support, which ranges from approximately $1 million to $9 million per state per year based on the EPA's national allocation formula. States are required to provide 40 percent non- federal cost share/match to their Section 319 grant. Match funds are subject to the same eligibility restrictions as Section 319 funds. Each state must use at least 50% of its Section 319 grant for local projects that support the implementation of watershed-based plans (WBPs). Most states issue annual, competitive requests for proposals from local partners to implement Section 319-funded watershed projects. Consistent with EPA guidance, states primarily target Section 319 funding to restore waterbodies impaired by NPS pollution. States may also use Section 319 funds to protect healthy waters, consistent with the goals of their NPS Management Program Plan. Land conservation can play a key role in efforts to protect healthy waters threatened by NPS pollution, as well as complement work to restore NPS-impaired waters. Land conservation (or land protection) generally refers to the long-term protection of lands to maintain conservation benefit(s) provided by a property, such as water quality protection, wildlife habitat, or recreation. Who is working to conserve lands? There are many non-governmental and governmental entities across the United States working to conserve lands. According to the Land Trust Alliance, there are an estimated 1,200 land trusts nationwide. Seethe EPA's Guide for Land Trusts: Advancing Watershed Protection through Land Conservation for more information about the critical role of land trusts in protecting and restoring waters. ------- Land Conservation Eligibilities in the Clean Water Act Section 319 Program Land conservation can help achieve water quality goals by preserving natural areas, such as forests, riparian areas, and wetlands, that can serve as natural filters for NPS pollutant loadings across the landscape. Additionally, land conservation can prevent local land use changes that may result in higher NPS pollutant loadings. Section 319 funds may be used to support the following land conservation approaches, provided that these approaches are consistent with a state's EPA-approved NPS Management Program Plan. Administrative and legal costs associated with land conservation projects may be eligible for Section 319 funding. Please note that the following definitions are provided for general informational purposes only, and states and subrecipients should consult their state and local laws for any applicable legal definitions of these terms: Note that if a property purchased using Section 319 funds will be later sold and no longer used for its land conservation purpose consistent with the Section 319 grant, federal property disposition requirements may apply to a subrecipient's sale of the property. See 2 CFR 200.311. On existing conserved lands, Section 319 funds can also be used to implement NPS projects that protect or improve water quality such as managing runoff, restoring stream channels and riparian areas, and tree plantings. Because each state identifies its NPS program priorities, the funding of eligible projects may vary according to the priorities of each state. Purchase of Conservation Easements: A voluntary legal agreement that permanently restricts development of a property to protect identified conservation benefits. Landowners retain the right to own, use, and sell the parcel, consistent with the terms of the conservation easement. Leasing of Land; Legal arrangement in which a landowner acting as lessor rents land to a tenant acting as lessee. Fee Simple Land Purchase: Purchase of complete ownership of land with the right to possess, use, and dispose of the land at will, subject to any recorded restrictions, such as easements, and applicable property laws, such as local zoning ordinances. Habitat Conservation Priority Map, Back Creek Watershed WV West Virginia's Back Creek Watershed Protection Plan identifies priority forest parcels for protecting water quality and ecological assets, as well as prevent increased flooding and erosion. When purchased with non-federal funds or donated by a landowner, the value of conserved lands (i.e., conservation easement value, or total land value) may be used to meet the Section 319 non-federal match requirement. Easements are generally considered to be a type of interest in real property and can be used as in-kind match. See the federal grant regulations in 2 CFR. 200.306 for specifics on cost-sharing. As with other in-kind contributions, the monetary value of the easement would need to be calculated to be counted towards non-federal match.

Lands protected through these projects have included forests, wetlands, riparian areas, shorelines, and agricultural land.

Consider how land conservation can help achieve goals outlined in your State NPS Management Program Plan. Want to learn how states are currently incorporating land conservation in their plans? Michigan. Ohio, and South Carolina are good places to start! Encourage local partners to incorporate land conservation in WBPs, where appropriate. • Identify priority parcels, based on their ability to protect waters (e.g., proximity to waterbodies, development threat). • Quantify NPS pollutant loads that can be prevented by conserving lands (e.g., via EPA's Pollutant Load Estimation Tool). Explore partnerships to augment funding for land conservation, such as the Clean Water SRF Program. Drinking Water SRF Program, and USDA-NRCS Easement Programs. 1 Project data were downloaded from EPA's Grants Reporting and Tracking System (GRTS) on August 19, 2024. Table counts include all GRTS projects with "Conservation Easement" and/or "Land Acquisition for Wetland Restoration" BMP(s) implemented as part of project. 2 GRTS users may enter units associated with land conservation projects as Total Land Area Protected (Acres) and/or Shoreline/Stream Length Protected (Feet or Miles) via conserved lands. For simplicity, Table 1 shows only Total Area Protected, as reported to GRTS. 3 ------- NPS Land Conservation Project Spotlights South Carolina In support of its goal to prevent NPS-reiated impairments of unimpaired waterbodies, South Carolina's 2020-2024 NPS Management Program Plan includes a focus on state coordination with watershed groups, land management agencies, and land trusts to protect healthy waters. Additionally, the Plan includes a NPS program milestone to incorporate protection strategies, such as conservation easements, into ail WBPs developed within the state. Project Spotlight: South Carolina awarded a total of $773,804 in Section 319 funds across two project phases in 2018 and 2021 to Upstate Forever, a nonprofit conservation organization, to support implementation of the Watershed-Based Plan for the South. Middle, and North Tyger Subwatersheds. The WBP prioritized the protection of lands in good condition to benefit water quality and limit future impairments. The project included the purchase of conservation easements on approximately 450 acres of high priority undeveloped riverfront land. By preventing potential land use conversion, this project prevents an estimated 1,309 lbs of nitrogen, 122 lbs of phosphorus, and 30.2 tons of sediment from entering adjacent waterways each year (calculated using state pollutant loading model). This project also supported implementation of other BMPs in the watershed, including septic repair and stream bank enhancements, to address existing waterbody impairments. Project partners emphasize the role of conservation easements in complementing other BMPs and preventing further water quality degradation in the future.

In addition, the Plan includes statewide targets for sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus reductions achieved as a result of long-term protection practices implemented in priority watersheds. Michigan's NPS Program has partnered with land conservancies across the state to protect healthy rivers and lakes through conservation easements for over 25 years. This work has resulted in 274 conservation easements totaling over 22,000 acres, including over 416,000 linear feet of rivers and lakes protected. Project Spotlight: In 2019, Michigan's NPS Program awarded a state Clean Michigan Initiative (CMI) grant, used as non-federal 319 match, to the Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy (GTRLC) to facilitate the purchase of a large parcel encompassing 900' of frontage to Lake Skegemog and 1,400' of tributary frontage. This project supported implementation of the Grand Traverse Bay Watershed Protection Plan, an EPA-approved WBP focused primarily on preventative protection of priority watershed areas through conservation easements. This project prevents erosion, as sections of the 192-acre property are situated on sloping hillsides adjacent to Lake Skegemog. By preventing potential land use conversion, this project prevents an estimated 537 lbs of nitrogen, 67 lbs of phosphorus and 3 tons of sediment from entering nearby Lake Skegemog each year (calculated using the EPA's STEPL tool). Additionally, this newly protected parcel creates a continuous 525-acre wildlife corridor by connecting two existing nature preserves.
