PIERRE, S.D. – Today, the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR) announced the Board of Water and Natural Resources has approved $176,250 in grants for solid waste projects.

 

The grants approved by the board will be administered through the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources.

 

Grants were awarded to:
