Collapse ▲The N.C. Foundation for Soil & Water Conservation has announced the launch of a new Fertilizer Conversion Cost Share Program funded by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Resources. This program will provide cost share funds for eligible North Carolina individuals who own and operate anaerobic lagoons or other liquid waste management systems to turn on-farm sludge suitable for conversion into fertilizer products, including intermediaries and soil additives.
This program will cover up to fifty percent cost share for site engineering, permitting, acquisition, design, or installation of equipment, facilities, and associated structures installed by an applicant for production, collection, and transportation of fertilizer products from the on-farm generated sludge. Actual grant amounts will be determined by the Foundation and applicants will be required to provide a match in cash or in-kind equal to $1 dollar of match for every $1 distributed in grant funds.
There will be an application process for grantees and Phase 1 of the application period is scheduled to start on August 1, 2024 and close on September 2, 2024, where applications will go through an eligibility screening. Once Phase 1 applications have been received, all applications will be reviewed by committee. Phase 2 applications are set to start on October 2, 2024 and end on October 31, 2024, where eligible applicants will be invited to submit a more thorough application, outlining the full scope of their proposed project. Awardee notifications and agreements are scheduled to be finalized by December 16, 2024. This proposed timeline is an initial draft and may be subject to change.
