This agreement provides funding to the city of carlin, NV to implement its sewer project as directed in the technical correction approved on july 28, 2025

The Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 awarded the City of Carlin, Nevada a cooperative agreement totaling $752,500 on July 1, 2026 under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to design and construct a solid waste screening facility improvement project.

The award funds design, permitting, and construction of a new solid waste screening facility that will increase solid removal efficiency, reduce required maintenance, and decrease city staff workload. Specific workplan activities include installation of non-potable water for the screw conveyor spray system, new electrical service to power the screening facility, sewer force main improvements to divert flows to the new screening equipment, a new operations building with concrete slab foundation and masonry unit walls, permit acquisition, bid support, and construction administration and observation services. Anticipated deliverables include a permitting and design contract, a 90 percent design submittal to EPA, a completed bid package, an as-built submittal to EPA, a post-construction on-site project review by EPA, and quarterly process reports plus draft and final project reports. Expected outcomes include reduced carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids levels in the sewer lagoon, wastewater pH reduction through sample testing, and reduced man hours required to maintain the new facility.

Performance occurs in Carlin, Nevada with period of performance from July 1, 2026 through January 31, 2030. No subawards are included in the award. Residents of the City of Carlin are the intended beneficiaries.
