The Washington Department of Ecology is proposing grants and loans to five Whitman County projects focused on water quality, including $1.5 million for the Palouse Conservation District.

The department is exploring awarding $282 million total to projects across the state. Final funding is contingent on approval in the state’s 2021-23 biennial budget.

The Palouse Conservation District could receive $500,000 to create 5 acres of riparian buffers and 9,000 acres of direct seeding to improve water quality in Whitman County streams.
