    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making changes to a general permit for large animal feeding operations in Idaho, except on Tribal lands. This is in response to a court ruling that said the permit did not include necessary water pollution monitoring. The updated permit will take effect on February 1, 2025, and will be managed by the state of Idaho, but the EPA will continue overseeing permits in Indian Country. Public comments were reviewed before finalizing the changes.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA is changing some rules for large farms in Idaho to help keep water clean. They have to start checking for pollution in 2025, but this doesn't change the rules for farms on Tribal lands.

    The Rural Utilities Service of the USDA has announced that applications are open for the Community Connect Grant Program for Fiscal Year 2025. This program provides approximately $26 million to help construct broadband networks in rural areas lacking such services. Eligible entities like incorporated organizations, state or local governments, and Indian tribes can apply for grants ranging from $100,000 to $5,000,000 to ensure rural communities have access to affordable, high-speed internet. Applications must be submitted online between February 20, 2025, and April 21, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is giving away money to build internet in places where people can't use it easily, and people who want the money need to ask by filling out forms online. Groups like towns or tribes can try to get some of this money to help their communities get better internet.
