PLPA Grants
The PLPA has been active in recent years applying for watershed restoration grants to help restore Pleasant Lake’s water quality and watershed. This effort all started with a 2014 NHDES 604(b) grant application to establish a Watershed Restoration Plan for Pleasant Lake. This initial project identified the major pollutant sources for Pleasant Lake (and opportunities for future grant applications!) and created a baseline of environmental parameters to examine Pleasant Lake’s water quality and ecosystem health.
Below is a list of grants the PLPA has applied for, identifying those grants that were accepted (and not).
