Low-Level Waste Grant Assistance Program
An Emergency Management grant program was instituted in fiscal year 2000
to provide funding for enhancing county emergency response capabilities in
communities near the Nevada Test Site. To fund this grant, approved waste generators
are charged an additional $.50 per cubic foot of low-level and mixed-level waste disposed.
The Nevada Division of Emergency Management administers the funding, which is needs
based and distributed according to applications submitted by the counties. More than
$8.2 million dollars has been provided to Clark, Elko, Esmeralda, Lincoln, Nye and White
Pine counties for emergency communication and response equipment, facilities, and salaries
for emergency managers and training officers.
