Grants up to $500,000 are available to any city, county, Tribe, state agency, University, conservation district, or other political subdivision in Montana
The RDG Program funds activities for the following project types:
Reclamation: Projects that repair, reclaim, and/or mitigate environmental damage to public resources from non-renewable resource extraction (mining, hazardous waste, and oil and gas)
Drought Mitigation: Projects that address drought as the main purpose AND have been identified in an existing drought/watershed management plan that ties the need to a specific watershed or region of the state.
High Hazard Dams: High hazard dam (Montana Dam Safety Act, MCA 85-15-106) projects that will mitigate damage to natural resources as a result of failure.
Other Crucial State Need: Other projects that meet the criteria as a crucial state need project as described above. Projects must clearly be identified in an existing plan that identifies the need for the project to a specific watershed/region of the state or include a letter of support from a knowledgeable and authoritative source, preferably a state agency, describing the need for the project.
