The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering and Support Center awarded the West Virginia Department Of Environmental Protection a cooperative agreement totaling $238,223.50 on July 1, 2026, under the State Memorandum of Agreement Program for the Reimbursement of Technical Services (CFDA 12.113).

The award reimburses West Virginia for technical services provided in support of Department of Defense Environmental Restoration Program activities at DOD installations within the state. The DSMOA program, authorized under 10 U.S.C. § 2701(d), funds state participation in cleanup and environmental restoration at DOD hazardous waste sites, with eligible activities limited to those authorized under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program and funded by the Defense Environmental Restoration Account.

Performance runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028, with work performed in West Virginia. The cooperative agreement constitutes the contractual relationship between DOD and the state upon signature by the state agency head and approval by the Corps of Engineers. West Virginia, as a state environmental agency, acts as a direct federal grant recipient and manages environmental protection, water quality, and regulatory oversight across multiple federal programs including EPA water quality grants, Department of Interior abandoned mine land reclamation awards, and FEMA dam safety cooperation agreements.
