Trump funding freeze threatens Walker Paiute water security

Summary

78% Informative

The Walker River Paiute Tribe was notified March 7 that the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA ) suspended — and may soon terminate — a contractually obligated $20 million Community Change Grant awarded in October .

Tribal leaders say the move will likely kill a critical water infrastructure project a decade in the making that would bring drinking water to more than 100 reservation homes and businesses.

Without the funding, the construction of a planned energy project that would provide energy upgrades for 150 homes on the reservation and community resilience hub would also be eliminated.

Funding for the EPA Community Change Grant was provided through the Environmental and Climate Justice Program, a $2.8 billion financial assistance program created by the Inflation Reduction Act .

More than 400 EPA grants were terminated by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin this month , with the assistance of Tesla CEO Elon Musk .
