Waste disposal grants - regular

The Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska was awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The grant will fund the development and improvement of critical water infrastructure, including drinking water systems, wastewater treatment facilities, solid waste management systems, and stormwater infrastructure, to serve the tribe's rural community. The grant aims to ensure reasonable user costs and enhance service quality and reliability for tribal members and other rural residents and businesses. As a federally recognized Native American tribe, the Santee Sioux Tribe has demonstrated a comprehensive approach to community services through federal grant funding, including programs focused on healthcare, social services, environmental protection, cultural preservation, and community development.
