The Gulkana Village Council was awarded a $129,964 Project Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (CFDA 66.926) to strengthen the tribe's administrative capacity, community outreach, and solid waste and recycling programs, as well as develop water quality assurance collaborations with other regional tribes.
Key activities funded under the grant include publishing an emergency response plan, coordinating river water testing, continuing to backhaul and recycle waste, updating the Council's website and social media, and participating in a youth environmental summit. Expected outcomes include sustainable waste management, trained staff to maintain an effective environmental program, and increased community environmental awareness and stewardship.
