This federal Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Underground Storage Tank (UST) Prevention, Detection, and Compliance Program (CFDA 66.804), supports the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in implementing its UST program. The $266,667 grant will fund DEQ's efforts to encourage proper UST operation and maintenance, ensure regulatory compliance monitoring, and develop Idaho's UST program to potentially assume federal oversight. Key activities include conducting approximately 300 full compliance UST inspections, pursuing enforcement actions against violators, overseeing UST installation and closure, and reporting on progress. The grant will directly benefit Idaho's UST program and its residents by preventing petroleum and hazardous substance releases to protect the environment. No sub-awards are included in this assistance agreement.
