Waste disposal grants - regular

Santo Domingo Pueblo (also known as Kewa Pueblo) received a Waste Disposal Grants – Regular award of $5.418 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760). The award, obligated on June 30, 2025, with a completion date of June 30, 2025, supports waste disposal infrastructure development for the tribe's community located in New Mexico between Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Under this Project Grant, Santo Domingo Pueblo will utilize federal funding to develop and improve waste management systems serving the tribal population of approximately 5,500 residents. The RUS program prioritizes projects that ensure reasonable user costs, enhance service quality and reliability, and address infrastructure needs in financially disadvantaged rural and tribal communities. The funding supports Santo Domingo Pueblo's ongoing commitment to essential environmental management and community infrastructure development, consistent with the tribe's broader federal grant portfolio addressing water management, health, education, and economic development initiatives.
