UIC Tribal Grant Program


Grants are provided annually to support Tribal Underground Injection Control (UIC) programs to protect drinking water sources. Theses funds should be used for Class V implementation, including Class V inventories, or UIC Primacy grants when necessary, unless a clear rationale exists to apply it to other classes.

Funds are allocated to EPA Regions using an allocation formula that is based on Tribal population numbers by Region with a 1% minimum. The total amount available to Tribes for FY2004 is $473,300.For an overview of the Tribal Source Water Program, check out the page, Drinking Water Quality in Indian Country: Protecting the Sources
