DEC awards grants for Allegany County projects

Town of Caneadea: $1 million. The Town of Caneadea will install effluent disinfection at the town's wastewater treatment plant. This project will improve water quality by reducing pathogens in the plant's discharge to the Genesee River.

Town of Independence: $80,000. The Allegany County Soil and Water Conservation District will construct a salt storage facility for the Town of Independence to protect the town's currently exposed salt pile. The structure will help prevent salt from entering a principal aquifer.
Town of Belfast: $68,486. The Allegany County Soil and Water Conservation District will replace a failing culvert on a tributary to the Black Creek in the Town of Belfast. The project will restore aquatic connectivity in the stream.
