Montana Department of Environmental Quality
DEQ’s Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Program supports entities that voluntarily participate in water quality monitoring projects in Montana. This competitive funding opportunity helps to offset costs associated with having water quality samples analyzed by an accredited analytical laboratory. This Volunteer Monitoring Lab Analysis Support Program is a component of DEQ’s Volunteer Monitoring Support Program.

Note: This program is for laboratory analysis and sample shipping costs only and does not include funding for Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) development, travel, monitoring time, purchasing and maintaining field equipment, or other operational costs.
