The Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 awarded a $2,131,532 cooperative agreement to the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation under the Congressionally Mandated Projects federal grant program (CFDA #66.202). The purpose of the award is to support the Remote Maintenance Worker Program, which assists rural Alaska communities in building drinking water and wastewater system operations and maintenance capacity through on-site support and operator training.
Subawards were provided to five Alaskan health organizations - Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corp, Bristol Bay Area Health Corporation, Norton Sound Health Corp, Tanana Chiefs Conference, and Maniilaq Association - to deliver remote maintenance worker services in their respective service areas. The subawardees conduct on-site operations and maintenance of local drinking water and wastewater systems while providing "over the shoulder" training to establish technical compliance capacity under the Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act.
