Donor Name: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
State: All States
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/10/2024
Size of the Grant: More than $1 million
Grant Duration: 3 Years
Details:
The EPA, together with states, Tribes, and its many partners, protects public health by protecting current and future drinking water sources and ensuring the availability of high-quality drinking water. Two programs within the EPA that protect drinking water sources are the Underground Injection Control and Source Water Protection programs.
The goal of this funding announcement is to improve the capacity of states and Tribes working with the EPA to protect drinking water sources and public health. Grantees may also work with municipalities on Source Water Protection. States and Tribes administer their UIC programs as “co-regulators” with the EPA. Therefore, the training should enhance communication and coordination between the EPA and the states/Tribes with primary enforcement responsibility (primacy) to protect drinking water sources. The training should also help ensure that state and Tribal interests are effectively represented in the development of national UIC policies and programs that states and Tribes administer.
Applicants are encouraged to identify additional project elements in their applications that may not be included in this funding opportunity that may contribute to overall project success.
- Provide leadership and support to states and tribes on emerging and/or high priority issues.
- Sponsor annual meetings for UIC and SWP program.
- Develop and deliver training for UIC Class VI regulators.
- Support and encourage state and Tribal participation in the UIC Data Application.
- Disseminate and share information with states, Tribes, and other stakeholders.
