CWSRF loans fund a variety of nonpoint source watershed improvement implementation
projects such as establishing or restoring permanent riparian buffers and floodplains, and
daylighting streams from pipes. Loans can fund protecting and restoring streamside areas,
wetlands and floodplains, and to acquire riparian land, wetlands, conservation easements,
and land to protect drinking water sources.

The application requirements for CWSRF
loans may take some lead-time to develop and may require out-of-pocket expense to

Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs)
Supplemental Environmental Projects are administered by DEQ’s Office of Compliance and
Enforcement. When DEQ assesses civil penalties for environmental law violations, violators
can offset up to 80% of their monetary penalty by agreeing to pay for a Supplemental
Environmental Project that improves Oregon’s environment. SEPs can be for pollution
prevention or reduction, public health protection, environmental restoration and protection
as long as it is a project that the respondent is not already required to do by law or where the
project would be financially self-serving for the respondent. The work can be completed by a
third-party like a local government, watershed council, non-profit or private entity. Coastal
PWSs can develop a “SEP Application” with general information that OCE can distribute to
respondents. Community organizations with proposed projects are also free to contact
respondents on their own initiative. The enforcement case does not necessarily have to be in
the same area (watershed/county, etc.) as the environmental project or even address the
same media (i.e. air/water/land). Interested parties can sign up for DEQ’s public notifications
via email at
- when signing up, select
types of information (select “enforcement actions”) and which counties or subbasins are of
interest.
Nonpoint Source Implementation 319 Grants
Nonpoint Source Grants support implementation and planning projects that address water
quality problems in surface and groundwater resources resulting from nonpoint source
pollution. Funds are appropriated by DEQ through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act and support a wide variety of management
activities, including technical assistance, site assessment, public awareness and education,
training, technology transfer, demonstration projects, and monitoring to assess the success
of specific nonpoint source implementation projects. Eligible applicants include government
agencies, tribal nations and nonprofit organizations. For more information including funding
