The primary mission of the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) is to enhance, preserve and protect the natural resources and scenic, historic and aesthetic qualities of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. EEA seeks to enter into contracts with qualified organizations to provide loans for implementation of projects that repair or remove dams, levees, seawalls, and other forms of inland flood control and coastal protection infrastructure. The Dam and Seawall Removal or Repair Program provides financial assistance to implement repairs to key infrastructure that provides storm damage protection and flood and erosion control. Projects may also remove unneeded infrastructure to increase resilience or establish natural protection solutions
