The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $112,246 Project Grant to the Village of Stony River, a federally recognized Native Alaskan tribal government, under the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (CFDA 66.926). This funding will be used to enhance the tribe's environmental management capacities, with a focus on technical training, solid waste management strategies, and community outreach and education.
Key activities to be undertaken include providing environmental staff with technical training to build administrative and environmental skills, increasing collaboration with tribal environmental programs and agencies to enhance participation in EPA initiatives, and conducting community outreach and education to support solid waste planning and implementation. The grant period spans from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, with the Village of Stony River committing to deliver quarterly progress reports, training trip reports, and documentation of environmental clean-ups and community events as part of the project deliverables.
