Small businesses in Nevada that own or lease underground petroleum storage tanks enrolled in the Petroleum Fund (gross receipts of $4M or less, 1M gallons or less of throughput, 150 or fewer employees) can get up to $90,000 per facility to buy and install spill buckets, overfill devices, containment sumps and other approved equipment subject to periodic testing.
NDEP's Petroleum Fund grant program helps small-business owners of underground storage tanks with the cost of complying with periodic testing requirements. It covers the purchase and installation of spill buckets, tank overfill devices, containment sumps and other Division-approved equipment subject to periodic testing. The maximum grant is $90,000 per facility, and NDEP estimates about $2,000,000 is available each year. Applications are accepted from July 1 through March 31 of the following calendar year, so the current window closes March 31, 2027.
