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 near the Nevada Test Site travel. 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. Nearly $7.5 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.
