The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $878,560 Formula Grant under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447) to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to fund planning and design projects for water quality improvement and protection. The grant supports DEQ's efforts to provide subawards to 18 local municipalities in Idaho for the planning and design of projects related to combined sewer overflow (CSO) and sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) systems. Key anticipated deliverables include sewer overflow and stormwater infrastructure plans, integrated stormwater management master plans, and technical design documents. The grant aims to protect public health and improve water quality by reducing sewer overflows through stormwater management. DEQ has committed to allocating at least 50% of the funding to rural and/or financially distressed communities.

The agreement provides funding to support the idaho department of environmental quality's (IDEQ) sewer overflow and stormwater reuse municipal grant (OSG) project to provide subawards to local municipalities in idaho for costs associated with the planning and design of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects, with an emphasis on combined sewer overflow (CSO) and sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) planning projects.activities:the activities to be performed include the execution and development of overflow and/or stormwater infrastructure projects. IDEQ has identified 18 communities to receive subgrants through the OSG program, all related to planning and design of CSO and SSO projects. Subrecipient:idaho department of environmental quality has selected 18 communities to receive subgrants for the planning and design of stormwater projects related to combined sewer overflow and sanitary sewer overflow systems.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include: plans and designs related to overflow or stormwater infrastructure. Additional deliverables may include: integrated stormwater management master plan; technical design documents; sanitary sewer overflow control solutions, including plans and specifications for the sanitary sewer overflow project to correct and reduce inflow and infiltration. The outcomes provided from this grant are expected to protect public health and improve water quality by reducing sewer overflows through the management of stormwater. The intended beneficiaries are: municipal entities, of which, may be rural and/or disadvantaged communities.
