DENR has awarded $33 million in Recovery Act funds for Environmental Projects in South Dakota

 

The South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources and its Board of Water and Natural Resources have distributed $33 million in funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Stimulus Bill or Recovery Act, for environmental projects in the state.

 

The $33 million includes nearly $32 million in EPA Clean Water State Revolving funds and EPA Drinking Water State Revolving funds, more than $1 million in State Clean Diesel Grant Program funds, and more than $100,000 in EPA Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust funds. The department has nearly $2 million in Stimulus funds remaining to be awarded through State Clean Diesel Grant Program funds and EPA Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust funds.

 

The Stimulus funds are specifically designated for public wastewater, drinking water, and storm water projects; activities to reduce air emissions from diesel engines; or to clean up Lewis and Clark pipelinepetroleum contamination from leaking underground storage tanksunder certain circumstances. Each funding program has guidelines that must be followed when seeking Stimulus Bill funds and strict timelines for awarding and spending the funds.
