N/A
To support state (including territories that are included in the definition of state in the Solid Waste Disposal Act) and tribal corrective action programs that address releases from underground storage tanks (USTs). Funding Priorities - Fiscal Year 2024: Cooperative agreements to states and tribes to support activities in making progress in cleaning up petroleum leaks by initiating and completing cleanups and reducing the backlog of sites not yet cleaned up. In FY 2024, at least 80 percent of LUST corrective action appropriated funds will be provided to states to carry out the LUST corrective action program. The priority in FY 2024 is to provide resources to states to perform core cleanup work, with a focus on cleaning up the highest priority sites.
