The Environmental Protection Agency Region 6 awarded the New Mexico Environment Department a $404,400 Formula Grant under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447). The grant period runs from September 1, 2021 through September 30, 2025.
Under the award, NMED will provide subgrants to local municipalities in New Mexico for planning, designing, and constructing eligible water quality improvement and protection projects focused on reducing sewer overflows through stormwater management. Specifically, subgrant funds will support a stormwater management project for the City of Anthony. The NMED prioritizes disadvantaged communities for subgrants based on selection criteria in the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan and affordability metrics. The overall goals are to protect public health and water quality through managing stormwater runoff and overflows.
