Irrigation Efficiencies Grants Program (IEGP) Deadline: Link: (360) 452-1912 x 5 http://clallam.scc.wa.gov/ The Irrigation Efficiencies Grants Program (IEGP) helps private landowners partner with local conservation districts to save water and aid in salmon recovery. By implementing best management practices to increase the efficiency of on-farm water application and conveyance systems, the IEGP converts conservation water savings into beneficial instream flows in tributaries where listed salmonid species will benefit from more consistent and persistent water flows. The IEGP is administered by the Washington State Conservation Commission through a contracted partnership with the Washington State Department of Ecology. The program began in 2001 as an appropriation to Ecology that directed money to local conservation districts within 16 drainage basins identified as critically susceptible to drought. In Clallam County, this program is administered by the Clallam Conservation District |
