弗吉尼亚州水坝业主现可获得5万美元配套补助
RICHMOND, Va. – The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation today announced the opening of a new grant round for the Virginia Dam Safety, Flood Prevention and Protection Assistance Fund, which supports projects that help dam owners and Virginia localities enhance public safety and reduce the risk of dam failures and property damage from flooding.
A total of $5 million in matching grants is available for dam safety projects.
该基金由弗吉尼亚资源管理局代表弗吉尼亚州自然保护和娱乐部管理。
The fund provides financial assistance to dam owners for a wide range of eligible activities, including dam repair and upgrades, hazard mitigation efforts and engineering studies.
“Protecting Virginians from dam failures and flooding is one of our most important responsibilities,” said Acting DCR Director Andrew Smith. “These grants help communities strengthen critical infrastructure, address known risks and build a safer future.”
弗吉尼亚州的水坝所有者负责其水坝的安全运行和维护。一旦发生故障,大坝所有者将对下游造成的损害负责。
“Many dams across Virginia were built decades ago and require modernization to meet current safety standards,” said DCR Chief Dam Safety Engineer Andrea Henry. “Through this grant program, we’re ensuring that owners and localities have access to the resources needed to safeguard lives and property.”
All grants are reimbursements and require between a 10-30% match. The maximum amount per grant will be determined based on amounts requested for eligible projects, application scores and available funds.
申请必须在2026年 3 月31下午4之前提交。
