Via Weekly Standard:
The EPA awarded $461,368 in grants this week for various environmental projects along the U.S.-Mexico border. About half of the funds went to projects in Calexico, CA and Phoenix, AZ, but the remaining $230,000 went to two cities on the Mexican side of the border, Nogales and Ensenada. The funding came under a partnership with the Border Environment Cooperation Commission, part of the bi-national U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program: Border 2020.
The projects funded in Mexico include:
- Restoration of the Upper Tijuana River Corridor – $98,500
- Air Emissions Inventory for Nogales, Sonora – $53,610
- Training on Handling of Wastewater Containing Metals and Cyanide – $63,015
- Used Oil Collection and Management in Nogales – $16,508
Generally the funds are remitted to non-profit organizations to carry out the projects, although the grant for the used oil collection project will go directly to the city of Nogales.
