Historic funding to plug orphaned oil and gas wells will address environmental and safety hazards, create good-paying jobs in communities across both states
Today’s awards are part of an overall $660 million in formula grant funding being released on a rolling basis. As part of these awards, the two states will detect and measure methane emissions from orphaned oil and gas wells, screen for groundwater and surface water impacts, and seek to prioritize cleaning up wells near overburdened and disadvantaged communities.
Through the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Department is delivering the largest investment in tackling legacy pollution in American history, including $4.7 billion to plug orphaned wells. In, the Department announced $560 million in initial grant funding to 24 states, including $25 million each to North Dakota and West Virginia for these states to begin work plugging and cleaning up orphaned wells.
