The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $134,000 Project Grant to the Hughes Village Council under the Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (CFDA 66.926) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The grant will support the village in maintaining its environmental program, including hiring staff, completing quarterly reporting, purchasing supplies, educating the community on environmental issues, updating the Small Community Emergency Response Plan, and developing a local emergency response team. Funds will also be used to keep the community clean through backhaul and recycling activities, landfill maintenance, and a used oil collection program. Additionally, the grant will help address indoor and outdoor air quality concerns and enable water quality, riverbank erosion, and permafrost testing through the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council. The expected deliverables include quarterly progress reports, newsletters, an AmeriCorps or VISTA application, trip reports, a backhaul inventory, before and after pictures, an updated landfill map, training certificates, and educational flyers.
