FY 2025 State Damage Prevention

PHMSA seeks to provide funding to states to reduce damage to underground pipelines. Excavation damage is a leading cause of pipeline incidents in the United States. Since 2008, PHMSA has awarded more than $23.5 million in SDP grants to more than 40 state-designated entities to assist with pipeline damage prevention enforcement, outreach, and education.

Eligible Applicants (Varies by Program) Any state authority (or municipality with respect to intrastate gas transportation) that is or will be responsible for preventing damage to underground pipeline facilities is eligible as long as 1) the state participates in the oversight of pipeline transportation pursuant to an annual 49 U.S.C. §60105 certification or 49 U.S.C. §60106 agreement in effect with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and 2) is designated by the state's governor, in writing, as the eligible recipient of the grant funding.
