Orphaned oil and gas wells are polluting backyards, recreation areas, and community spaces across the country.
Colorado is receiving a $25 million award, which the state will use to plug 106 orphaned wells and to complete equipment decommissioning, remediation and restoration at approximately 200 additional sites where wells were previously plugged.
West Virginia is the first state to receive such a grant since the Department released final state matching grant guidance in May .
