There is a key clarification to the notification of the grant awarded here:
http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/x1169807703/-300-000-grant-to-help-towns-deal-with-runoff-mandate
The money is to be used by the EPA to provide consultants to help the three communities (Bellingham, Milford, and Franklin) make progress on the 'storm water utility' being proposed as part of the overall permitting process. The consultants should be a good help in this matter as the communities generally don't have the resources and or skills to devote to this aspect of the development.
Thanks to Jeff Nutting for sharing this nuance on the grant.
Additional information on the storm water permit which is open for comments through Sep 30, 2010 can be found here:
