Specific funding caps have been removed from the guidelines, so you must now contact IDEQ directly for current limits and match requirements. Be aware that certain programs now require a DEQ-approved facility plan, and disadvantaged communities must provide specific socioeconomic documentation with their application. Finally, new Letter of Interest (LOI) forms have been added for both drinking water and clean water emerging contaminant projects.
