This Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides $100,000.00 in funding to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma to implement a program that manages underground storage tanks (USTs) on tribal lands. The award is part of the EPA's Direct Implementation Tribal Cooperative Agreements (DITCA) program, CFDA #66.473.
The key activities funded through this agreement include: verifying UST facility information, reviewing previous inspections, conducting walkthrough inspections to assess compliance with federal UST regulations, and providing guidance to facility owners/operators on correcting any identified issues. The Choctaw Nation will leverage federally credentialed inspectors to increase community knowledge of the UST regulations and improve compliance rates. This effort is intended to promote compliance with Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and prevent environmental releases from UST facilities within the Choctaw Nation's jurisdiction. The agreement runs from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027.
