The Council was recently awarded a $1,355 grant through the Department of Environmental Quality’s Education Mini-Grant program. The grant will pay for a brochure that highlights the water quality improvement projects completed along the Missouri River and its major tributaries. The brochure will complement the Council’s public outreach efforts, which include a display in each of the four river reach areas and one large interactive display that will travel to events and education workshops throughout the corridor. Projects will be chosen by the Council based on their demonstration of: 1) citizens working together and cooperatively with local, state, and/or federal agencies; 2) the benefits of using Best Management Practices; and 3) achievement of water quality standards and implementation of water quality restoration plans. To submit a project for consideration in the brochure, please contact the Council office at (406) 468-0056.
