US EPA Drinking Water Tribal Set-Aside Grant Due Nov 1

Post by NaepcA1 »

Drinking Water Tribal Set-Aside Funds

EPA Region 9 (EPA) is pleased to issue the 2014 guidance and procedures for applying for assistance from the Drinking Water Tribal Set-Aside (DWTSA) program. This program provides funding for federally recognized tribes within California, Nevada, and Arizona for public drinking water system infrastructure. Funds are awarded through direct grants to tribes or interagency agreements with the Indian Health Service. The funding will be used to address the most significant public health threats for public water systems.

Approximately $4 million of FY 14 funds may be available. In addition, projects ranking higher than Health Category K may be considered under the anticipated FY15 appropriation. Matching funds are not required; however, in cases where commercial entities and/or non-tribal populations receive water from the public water system, EPA may ask the tribe to provide a matching contribution.
