Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Description: This action approves an award in the amount of $14,250,000 to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's (NCDEQ) Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Program.
Specifically, this agreement provides funding for its LUST Corrective Action Program, which includes assessment, remediation, and enforcement related activities.
The main objectives of the LUST Corrective Program are to investigate suspected petroleum releases and to perform corrective action on these releases.
Sites affected by Hurricane Helene will be assessed and based upon their condition NCDEQ will cleanup the Underground Storage Tank (UST) releases and/or provide oversight of corrective action, site-specific corrective action, and enforcement.
Activities: Major activities include investigating suspected petroleum releases, overseeing and enforcing corrective action by owners or operators, and performing direct corrective action activities when those owners or operators are unknown, unwilling, or unable to perform those activities themselves.
Activities/outputs performed include but are not limited to assessing sites for hurricane damage, implementing corrective actions to determine source and extent of contamination at UST sites.
Subrecipient: No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes: The anticipated deliverable is the state cleanup data that is entered into the LUST4 system and semiannual narratives.
Expected outcomes/results include but are not limited to controlling the risks to human health and the environment at contaminated sites by mitigating the impacts of accidental or intentional releases, and by cleaning up, stabilizing or other action, and restoring contaminated sites to appropriate levels to make land ready for reuse.
The primary beneficiary is the State Corrective Action Program.
