This $932,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447), provides funding to the Washington State Department of Ecology (WDOE) to support water quality improvement and protection projects implemented by local municipalities in Washington.

Specifically, this award will provide additional funding to continue supporting an existing project with the City of Mattawa. The anticipated deliverables include plans to construct a gravity sewer main and eliminate an existing lift station, which is expected to protect groundwater quality and the Columbia River by reducing the likelihood of raw sewage spills or backups. The project aims to benefit the residents of the small and disadvantaged City of Mattawa.
