The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $11,256,300 Formula Grant under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA #66.458) program to the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on October 1, 2023. The purpose of this 5-year grant is to capitalize DEQ's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program, which provides low-interest financing for water quality improvement and protection projects throughout the state.
Under this grant, DEQ will manage an effective CWSRF program and maintain a self-sustaining revolving fund to benefit public health and water quality for Idaho's citizens. A sub-award of an unspecified amount was made to the City of Nampa to fund improvements to its wastewater treatment system, including construction of tertiary filtration, UV disinfection, an additional aeration basin, and a fourth final clarifier. These upgrades will enable the City of Nampa to meet Class A treatment requirements and ensure the effluent temperature complies with regulations.
