Clean Vessel Act Grant Program (CVA)
This program provides financial assistance to private marinas, boatyards, and yacht clubs for the construction of sewage pumpout and dump stations to help reduce pollution from recreational boating.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is offering competitive grants through the Clean Vessel Act Grant Program (CVA) aimed at reducing pollution from recreational boats. These grants are available to private marinas, boatyards, and yacht clubs, covering up to 75% of the construction costs for pumpouts and dump stations to facilitate the proper disposal of sewage. The program operates on a reimbursement basis, with applicants required to fund the projects upfront and seek reimbursement from IDNR and the Service. Eligible applicants must own or have a secured lease for the facility location, adhere to all application and project requirements, and comply with all relevant regulations. Funding under CVA requires a 25% non-federal cost match from the applicants.
