The State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a $1.13 million Block Grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management under CFDA 81.214 (Environmental Monitoring/Cleanup, Cultural and Resource Management, Emergency Response Research, Outreach, Technical Analysis), effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2030. This five-year award supports environmental management and oversight activities in Boise, Idaho, consistent with DOE's mission to provide technical and financial assistance to state government entities for environmental monitoring, cleanup, and community support activities at DOE facilities and in host communities.
As a prime recipient with minimal sub-award activity, DEQ will leverage this funding to deliver environmental permitting, regulatory compliance, hazardous waste management, and environmental oversight services across Idaho. This award aligns with DEQ's broader portfolio of DOE and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grants totaling $1.25 billion in obligated funding, through which the agency administers environmental programs including water quality protection, air quality implementation, drinking water supervision, and cleanup activities. The award represents part of DOE's consistent annual investment under this program, which has distributed approximately $549 million across 145 awards since 1993.
