The Environmental Protection Agency Region 4 awarded the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet $33,000 under the Superfund State and Indian Tribe Core Program Cooperative Agreements (CFDA 66.809) federal grant program. The funding will support the Cabinet's response program under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023.
Specifically, the $33,000 in EPA grant funds will enable the Cabinet to carry out program management, contract administration, legal assistance including for cost recovery and litigation, and administrative/clerical support activities not tied to specific Superfund sites but critical to operating Kentucky's overall Superfund response program. The deliverables under this project grant are intended to maintain the state's capability to manage Superfund cleanup and enforcement efforts across the Commonwealth, providing indirect benefits to Kentucky residents.
