If possible, submit your application online (Grant application for the preparation of groundwater area protection plans). Choose the ELY Centre responsible for the area in which the site is located.
If you are unable to apply online, please use the printable application form instead. Send it to the registry of the ELY Centre in question. The registries’ contact information is provided on the application form.
Payment application
If your grant application is approved, you can request payment after the work has been duly completed.
Use the form “Payment application - environment, waterways and built heritage”. The payment application has separate instructions. There is also a separate form for recording work hours in the case of unpaid work.
Send your payment application form as an attachment to the general online form of the ELY Centre directly to the registry of the ELY Centre that approved your grant application. There are separate online forms for organisations and private citizens. Choose the appropriate ELY Centre under Asia > Virasto in the online form.
