5 مليون دولار أمريكي في شكل منح مطابقة متاحة الآن لمالكي سدود فيرجينيا
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.
تدير الصندوق هيئة موارد فيرجينيا بالنيابة عن وزارة الحفظ والاستجمام في فيرجينيا.
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.”
يتحمل مالكو السدود في ولاية فرجينيا مسؤولية التشغيل الآمن للسدود وصيانتها. في حالة حدوث عطل، يكون مالكو السدود مسؤولين عن أي ضرر في اتجاه مجرى النهر.
“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.
