Initial State Grants

The Initial State Grant Program bolstered eligible states’ longstanding well plugging programs and helped build capacity for states to expand or begin well plugging activities. In accordance with statutory requirements, up to $25 million was made available to States that submitted a request for Initial grant funds by May 15, 2022.  

States, that have not received an Initial State Grant, may still apply for small-scale, Initial State Grants; up to $5 million remains available per state.  Interested States are invited to contact the Orphaned Wells Program Office for more information regarding the State Initial Grant Program.
