Notes: Funds Available to Clean Up Waterways

Indiana could share in $75 million in federal funds to help clean up waterways, but local farmers, producer associations and governments need to get their applications filed before a May 3 deadline.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture money will go to projects that cut the amount of nutrients entering waterways in dozens of watersheds. The agency expects to award about $320 million for such projects over the next four years.

Indiana’s five eligible watersheds are the Eel River, the Upper East Fork of the White River, Wildcat Creek, the upper Wabash River, Vermillion River and upper Great Miami River.

Indiana legislators made little progress Monday in reaching a deal to delay an increase in the unemployment tax.
