This Project Grant award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund Corrective Action Program (CFDA 66.805), will provide $441,947 in funding to the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE) from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025.
The grant will support NDEE's LUST corrective action program, which includes activities such as investigating suspected petroleum releases, overseeing and enforcing corrective action by owners/operators, and performing direct corrective action when owners/operators are unknown, unwilling, or unable. Specific grant-funded activities will include contracting for the investigation, cleanup, and closure of leaking underground storage tank sites, as well as the purchase of a work truck to assist with and oversee this work. The primary outcome is a reduction in the backlog of UST releases for which cleanups have not yet been completed, benefiting the state's overall corrective action program. No sub-awards are included under this assistance agreement.
