Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Description: The action provides funding in the amount of $7,759,587 under the Inflation Reduction Act to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
The recipient will implement greenhouse gas reduction programs, policies, projects and measures identified in a priority climate action plan developed under a Climate Pollution Reduction Grants planning grant.
Activities conducted through this grant will benefit all residents and visitors to tribal lands located in Choctaw better known as Pearl River, Bogue Homa, Bogue Chitto, Crystal Ridge, Red Water, Standing Pine, Tucker, Conehatta, MS and Henning, TN.
Through four main objectives, we will execute implementation of ambitious measures that will achieve significant cumulative greenhouse gas reductions by 2030 and beyond.
Pursuit of measures that will achieve substantial community benefits, particularly in low-income and disadvantaged communities.
Complementing other funding sources to maximize these greenhouse gas reductions and community benefits.
Activities: The activities include four projects which include installing distributed solar generation systems coupled with solar-driven heat pumps, replace non-electric home appliances with more energy efficient electric appliances.
There will be an enhancement to the tribe recycling program by purchasing one commercial grade frontloading recycling truck, (2) commercial grade front load recycling containers to improve biofuel infrastructure for improved production and efficiency of distribution.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverables include replacement and installation of the following, 300 solar heat pumps, the purchase of 1 front grade loader and 30 recycling containers.
There also be construction of a biofuel facility and corresponding waste oil collection center.
The expected outcomes include decreased energy use by residents, reduction in carbon dioxide emissions related to residential appliance and energy use.
An increased use of biofuels for tribal fueling operations will improve the health of tribal members and all intended beneficiaries of the entire tribal community, with a specific focus on tribal elders most at risk of heat-related illnesses and other community members through job creation.
