The Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 awarded the Southern Ute Indian Tribe a $1,226,000 Formula Grant under the Nonpoint Source Implementation Grants program (CFDA 66.460). The Tribe will use the funding to carry out activities that maintain, protect, and improve water quality on the Southern Ute Reservation in Colorado from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2026.
Specifically, the Tribe will restore degraded aquatic resources, implement agricultural best management practices, and provide technical assistance and education to stakeholders. This will reduce sediment, nutrient, and E. coli inputs into waterbodies within the San Juan watershed on the reservation. The activities funded under this award will allow the Tribe to effectively implement its nonpoint source pollution control program and achieve environmental benefits such as improved riparian areas and water quality.
