Dirt, Gravel, and Low Volume Road Maintenance Program

About this program

The State Conservation Commission offers grants to address non-point source pollution from dirt, gravel, and low-volume roads. This innovative program provides funding for environmentally sound road maintenance practices to reduce stream pollution and sediment runoff. Applicants must attend a mandatory training course and can be public entities such as townships or cities. The grant covers expenses for implementing ESM practices on eligible roads, aiming to mitigate pollution and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
