Reclamation and Development Grants Program (RDGP)

The Reclamation and Development Grants Program (RDGP) is a state-funded grant program designed to fund projects that protect Montana citizens from the effects of mineral development on public resources, and that meet other crucial state needs, serve the public interest, and benefit the total environment of the people of Montana. The purposes of the RDGP are (1) to repair, reclaim, and mitigate environmental damage to public resources from non‑renewable resource extraction and (2) to develop and ensure the quality of public resources for the benefit of all Montana citizens.
