 The VCD is now accepting applications for any Dirt, Gravel, and Low Volume Roads projects that Venango County municipalities may be considering for funding for the 2025 construction year. The deadline for applications will be October 11, 2024. This year, we will accept up to two (2) Dirt and Gravel Roads applications and one (1) Low Volume Roads application per applicant, equaling three (3) applications in total. The grant application form and instructions can be found on the VCD DGLVR webpage here.
The Venango Dirt Gravel and Low Volume Road Program provides funding for the construction of Best Management Practices (BMPs). The amount of sediment that leaves the road can be reduced by the construction of BMPs. At the same time, the resulting site becomes a road that requires less maintenance for the municipality. To qualify for funding, sedimentation from the roadway must be affecting a local waterway. The roadway must also be a publicly owned road that is open to the public at least 2 consecutive weeks per year. The project supervisor must also be ESM certified, a free training to make municipalities familiar with the program’s policies and BMPs. The goal of the program is to fund safe, efficient and environmentally sound maintenance on local public roads.
