The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a $390,000 Project Grant to the Kentucky Energy & Environment Cabinet under the Environmental Remediation and Waste Processing and Disposal program (CFDA 81.104). The grant supports the Cabinet's efforts to safely process and close nuclear waste sites, remediate contaminated groundwater and soil, and manage nuclear materials through technological innovation, environmental cleanup, workforce development, and strategic partnerships. This multi-year federal grant, with a period of performance from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, enables the Cabinet to leverage its regulatory and technical capabilities to assist federal agencies with environmental monitoring, conservation activities, abandoned mine land reclamation, and energy efficiency programs across Kentucky. As a sub-recipient of this grant, the University of Kentucky and the Kentucky Division of Conservation will collaborate with the Cabinet to deliver grant-funded services.
