The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is partnering with EPA to make funds available to eligible States for the purpose of mitigating methane emissions from MCWs by providing financial assistance to operators/well owners to voluntarily and permanently plug and abandon MCWs (including elements of environmental restoration required to comply with applicable State or Federal plugging and abandonment standards and regulations) on non-Federal lands as well as monitor methane emissions from MCWs to verify that plugged wells are no longer emitting methane.
