Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2009 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to help federally recognized tribal governments strengthen how hazardous waste is managed in Indian Country. The core purpose is to support the development and implementation of tribal hazardous waste programs and to build long-term tribal capacity to prevent, identify, manage, and address hazardous waste issues on reservations and other tribal lands. The opportunity explicitly aligns with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, which recognizes tribal governments as the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs in their reservations, reinforcing a government-to-government approach and tribal leadership in environmental protection.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which generally means EPA expects an active partnership during the project period rather than a hands-off grant. For FY 2009, EPA anticipated making about 4 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $300,000. Individual awards could be as high as $75,000, and the notice indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for applicants and allows tribes to focus resources on program development and direct environmental management needs.
Eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as intertribal consortium or consortia, with additional eligibility details referenced in Section III of the full announcement. The activities supported are focused on hazardous waste program capacity, which can include establishing or improving tribal hazardous waste management systems, creating foundational program elements, strengthening administrative and technical capability, and supporting practical on-the-ground work that improves how hazardous waste is handled and controlled in Indian Country. Overall, the emphasis is on helping tribes build the structures, knowledge, and operational readiness needed to manage hazardous waste effectively and protect human health and the environment.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number EPA OSWER ORCR 09 01 and corresponds to CFDA 66.812 (Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes).
