This program authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to make payments to U.S.-based producers of advanced, cellulosic, or conventional biofuel, biomass-based diesel, or renewable fuel to offset unexpected market losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 



Biofuel producers eligible to apply include those whose U.S.-based facilities directly produce an eligible biofuel.

Eligible biofuel is renewable fuel produced from renewable biomass and is used to replace or reduce the quantity of fossil fuel in a transportation fuel, comprised of advanced biofuel, biomass-based diesel, cellulosic biofuel, or conventional biofuel, as such terms are defined in section 211(o)(1) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7545(o)(1)) and produced in the United States. 

You are not considered an eligible producer if you are: 
- A sole proprietor or legal entity that exclusively contracts for the production of biofuel by third-party producers under a toll or bailment arrangement, or third-party production contract
- An individual or legal entity that blends or otherwise combines biofuels into a blended biofuel 



A lump sum of money for a specific purpose that does not need to be paid back.

Grant

Alternative Energy

Payment to eligible biofuel producers is based on the volume of market loss the producer experienced during calendar year 2020. The market loss is calculated by comparing the gallons of eligible biofuel produced during calendar year 2019 to the gallons of eligible biofuel produced in calendar year 2020. Quantities of gaseous biofuel are converted into gallons based on the British Thermal Unit (BTU) equivalent of one gallon of biodiesel using Energy Information Administration factors.

Matching funds from the applicant must be a minimum of 40% of the total cost of the project budget; this must be clearly outlined in the application. The match can consist of in-kind and/or cash contributions directly associated with the project. All match expenses must be clearly documented and justified. 

After the issuance of a purchase order, one cash advance of up to 50% of the total grant award may be requested by the grantee. The balance of the award will be reimbursed upon project completion and submission of required documents. 

An electronic copy of the application and supporting materials in Microsoft Word format must be submitted to the NPS Program. All applications must be completed on the appropriate form which can be found in the list below. Please submit all applications to NPS.Grants@Delaware.gov.

Tips for completing your application:
Clearly identify the water quality problem that your project seeks to address. Connect this problem with an established TMDL, Tributary Strategy or 303d listing. Include any studies, reports or monitoring data that support your description of the specific water body and pollutant(s) that you plan to address with your project.

Show how your project is a cost-effective and appropriate solution to the problem. Reference local studies and reports if possible.

Have a workable, thorough implementation plan:
- Clearly identify the goal that will be accomplished through the implementation of your project. Is it water quality? Load reduction? BMP Implementation? Education?
- Draw a list of all the tasks necessary to reach your goal.
- Establish a realistic timetable for accomplishing project tasks.
- Make sure your budget is reasonable for all of the tasks in your proposal. Provide enough description to clearly justify your expenses.

For BMP implementation projects, identify specific sites for the project. If your project has already established landowner cooperation, completed BMP design work and gotten the necessary survey work and permit applications underway, so much the better.

Create a list of Measurable Environmental Results (MER) appropriate to your project. Use the guidelines and tools described under the MER section of this website.

For BMP implementation projects, describe the type and extent of controls that will be used to address the issue, such as miles of stream restoration, acres of wetland created, number of acres planted in cover crop, etc. Calculate the load reductions achieved as a result of implementing the BMPs.

For educational projects, describe the number of people that received brochures, responded to surveys, attended events, etc.

The Delaware [Nonpoint Source Program](https://dnrec.alpha.delaware.gov/watershed-stewardship/nps/) administers a competitive grant program made possible through Section 319 of the Clean Water Act. The grant provides funding for projects designed to reduce nonpoint source (NPS) pollution in Delaware.


Nonpoint source pollution is any pollution that originates from a diffuse source (such as an open field or a road) and is transported to surface or ground waters through leaching or runoff.


A good way to reduce nonpoint source pollution is to incorporate specific best management practices (BMPs) into project workplans. Projects may target any source of NPS pollution, but most frequently involve agriculture, silviculture, construction, marinas, septic systems, and hydromodification activities.


Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 319 grants are awarded to the state based on the federal fiscal year (October through September). A request for proposals for each awarded fiscal year grant is posted, and advertised, in December of each calendar year and/or at the NPS Program’s discretion.

The HSP Incentives Program provides financial incentives to California growers and ranchers to implement conservation management practices that sequester carbon, reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs), and improve soil health. GHGs benefits are estimated using quantification methodology and tools developed by California Air Resources Board (CARB), USDA-NRCS and CDFA and soil health improvement will be assessed by measuring soil organic matter content.




- California farmers, ranchers and Federal and California Recognized Native American Indian Tribes are eligible to apply. 
- Projects must be located on a California agricultural operation. For the purpose of this program, an agricultural operation is defined as row, vineyard, field and tree crops, commercial nurseries, nursery stock production, and livestock and livestock product operations. 
- University and research farms, and city community gardens are not eligible for funding through the HSP Incentives Program. These entities may apply for the HSP Demonstration Projects. 
- Awards are limited to one per agricultural operation using a unique tax identification number per round of funding. Individuals or business entities receiving grant award funds must be located in California with a physical California business address. 
- All projects must implement at least one of the eligible agricultural management practices listed under Eligible Agricultural Management Practices, on fields where said practice was not implemented previously:
    - A previously implemented practice cannot be implemented on same field. A previously implemented practice is eligible for funding only if it is implemented on a new, different field within the same APN or a new APN.
    - Practices must be implemented on the same field(s) within the APN and cannot be moved to different field(s) within an APN during the term of the grant agreement.
    - Practices must be implemented on the same total acreage throughout the term of the grant agreement as proposed in the application and memorialized in the grant agreement. Decrease in acreage of practice implementation and quantified GHG reductions in the project after signature by Recipient and execution of grant agreement may result in elimination of that practice from the project and subsequent reduction of project budget. Additionally, project may be considered incomplete, and ten percent of total project budget may be withheld (see Project Verification).
- Projects must result in net GHG benefits (i.e., net positive GHG reductions) from specific eligible agricultural management practices identified in this solicitation for the grant agreement term supported by document(s) of Carbon Sequestration and GHG Estimation Report(s) (See GHG Reduction Estimation). 
- Applicants must provide past three years’ baseline data on cropping and management histories directly related to fields identified by APNs where eligible agricultural management practices are proposed for implementation to be eligible for funding. 
- Applicants must lease, own, or otherwise control the fields and APNs where project activities are proposed to occur for the entirety of the project duration. If leasing land, applicants must ensure the proposed project does not violate their lease agreement and document approval by the landowner to implement proposed practices(s) from date of grant agreement execution to TBD. 
- If selected for funding, applicants must be able to execute a grant agreement within 30 days of receiving a notice of award. 
Exclusions
- HSP Incentives Program funds cannot be used to implement management practices that are not listed under Eligible Agricultural Management Practices in this grant solicitation. All requirements for practice implementation must be followed. 
- HSP Incentives Program funds cannot be used to fund fields with existing and ongoing implementation of any agricultural management practices listed under Eligible Agricultural Management Practices.
