The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 awarded the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation a $1,278,750 Formula Grant under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA #66.447). The grant will fund three subawards totaling $1,023,000 to improve water quality and manage stormwater runoff.
The Tennessee DEC will provide subawards to the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, the Town of Bell Buckle, and the Town of Gainesboro. Nashville will implement a stormwater retrofit project at a police impound lot to improve water quality. Bell Buckle will address sanitary sewer overflows and reduce inflow/infiltration through pipeline rehabilitation. Gainesboro will develop an integrated stormwater management master plan through surveys and mapping to identify solutions. The projects aim to benefit disadvantaged communities through enhanced compliance, stormwater management, and reduced nonpoint source pollution.
