Opportunity Summary:
The Fiscal Year 2010 Pollution Prevention Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number EPA HQ OPPT 2010 03) is a discretionary EPA funding opportunity designed to strengthen pollution prevention work at the state and tribal level. The basic idea behind the program is practical, on-the-ground technical assistance: helping businesses and other organizations find smarter operational strategies that prevent pollution before it is created, rather than treating or disposing of waste after the fact. In EPA terms, this is focused on reducing or eliminating waste "at the source," which typically means improving processes, substituting less hazardous materials, increasing efficiency in water and energy use, and redesigning practices to avoid generating pollutants in the first place.
For FY 2010, EPA anticipated awarding about $4.1 million in total funding through this program, with an expected 70 awards nationwide. Individual award sizes were projected to range from $20,000 (award floor) up to $180,000 (award ceiling), though actual award amounts would ultimately depend on the final Congressional appropriation and, just as importantly, the overall quality and competitiveness of the proposals submitted. The assistance is awarded either as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning that depending on the specific project and region, EPA may have a more active role in shaping or participating in the work under a cooperative agreement than it typically would under a standard grant.
Administration of the program is handled regionally rather than purely from EPA headquarters. Awards are made and managed through each of EPA's 10 Regional Pollution Prevention Program Offices, so applicants should expect regional implementation and oversight, and they should pay attention to any region-specific expectations or procedures referenced in the full announcement. The program is associated with CFDA number 66.708 (Pollution Prevention Grants Program), which is the catalog identifier commonly used for federal assistance tracking and reporting.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies to this opportunity, so applicants should plan for a portion of project costs to be covered by non-federal resources, consistent with the detailed rules described in the complete solicitation. The eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," and the formal eligibility standards are directed to Section III of the full announcement. In practice, because the program emphasizes state and tribal technical assistance, eligibility commonly centers on organizations positioned to deliver that assistance effectively within a state or tribal context, but the official determination is governed by the language in the announcement itself.
Key dates for this competition were straightforward. The opportunity was posted on February 17, 2010, and the application closing date was April 6, 2010, with the notice emphasizing that applicants should consult Section IV of the full announcement for exact submission methods, required forms, and any timing nuances. The archive date was May 6, 2010, which indicates when the listing was closed out from active posting. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Michele Amhaz at EPA at (202) 564-8857.
