This Project Grant award, valued at $557,836, was provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund Corrective Action Program (CFDA 66.805). The grant funding supports the State of Alaska's efforts to investigate, assess, and remediate petroleum contamination from underground storage tanks. Key activities include:
- Providing oversight and enforcement of corrective actions by tank owners/operators
- Conducting direct corrective actions at sites where the responsible party is unknown, unwilling, or unable to perform cleanup
- Tracking compliance and managing information related to LUST sites
- Administering the grant, including reporting, cost recovery tracking, and EPA coordination
- Maintaining laboratory approval and providing technical assistance
- Developing program policies and guidance, and conducting staff training
The primary outcomes are expected to include increased cleanup of LUST sites, reduction in human health and environmental risks, and a decrease in the backlog of open LUST cases across Alaska. No sub-awards are included under this cooperative agreement.
