The Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 awarded the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) a $364,773 Formula Grant under the Water Pollution Control State, Interstate, and Tribal Program Support (CFDA 66.419) federal grant program. This funding supports NDEE's program to maintain, protect, and improve water quality in Nebraska's rivers, lakes, streams, and groundwater through December 2023. Specifically, NDEE will conduct comprehensive source water monitoring by collecting and assessing physical, chemical and biological water quality samples from streams and lakes across the state. This will help prevent degradation of unimpaired waterbodies and reduce the number of impaired waterbodies in Nebraska. The grant provides partial federal funding, with potential for additional support later.
