This $164,000 Formula Grant, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on October 1, 2024 under the Water Quality Management Planning program (CFDA 66.454), supports the New Mexico Environment Department's (NMED) efforts to improve and protect impaired and unimpaired surface waters across the state.
The grant funds NMED's activities to conduct water quality monitoring, develop Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) documents, and perform assessments to support the state's 303(d)/305(b) list development under the Clean Water Act. Key deliverables include participation in EPA coordination, public outreach, and assisting with water quality standards issues. The funds also support NMED's supervision of assessment and TMDL teams as well as field data collection and water quality analysis. The ultimate goal is to develop TMDLs for water quality limited segments to meet EPA Region 6 requirements and benefit the residents of New Mexico.
