Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity designed to help federally recognized tribes strengthen hazardous waste management in Indian Country. The program focuses on supporting the development and implementation of tribal hazardous waste programs and, just as importantly, building long-term capacity so tribes can better prevent, identify, and address hazardous waste issues on their lands. The opportunity is grounded in the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, which recognizes tribal governments as the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs on reservations, and it reflects EPA's intent to work with tribes in a government-to-government manner while improving environmental and public health protections.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from EPA during the project period compared with a standard grant. The activity category is environmental protection, specifically hazardous waste management, and the applicable CFDA number is 66.812 (Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes). The announcement anticipated making about four awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $319,000. Individual awards were capped at $79,750, and the notice stated there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing the financial barrier for tribal applicants who may have limited resources to provide match funding.
Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as intertribal consortia or consortium arrangements, as described in the full announcement. In practical terms, this means a single tribe could apply on its own, or multiple tribes could apply together through a formal cooperative arrangement to address shared hazardous waste management needs, pool expertise, or build regional capacity. The notice directed applicants to consult Section III of the full announcement for the precise eligibility rules and definitions, which typically cover items like documentation of federal recognition, requirements for consortium authorization, and any restrictions on who can serve as the lead applicant.
The proposal window for this funding round opened when the opportunity was posted on March 16, 2010, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of April 26, 2010. The listing noted that applicants should refer to Section IV of the full announcement for the official submission methods and any detailed due date instructions, which commonly include required forms, narrative content, formatting limits, and where and how to submit (for example, through Grants.gov or via an alternate method if an exception applies). The opportunity was archived on May 26, 2010, indicating it was no longer open for new submissions after that period.
From a programmatic standpoint, the intent of the grant is to help tribes put in place or enhance the core pieces of a hazardous waste program, which can include planning, program design, training, outreach, coordination with other governments, and building administrative and technical systems needed to manage hazardous waste safely and in compliance with applicable requirements. While the short notice excerpt does not list specific project types, this EPA program area generally supports capacity-building work such as establishing program procedures, conducting assessments of hazardous waste concerns, improving management practices, developing compliance assistance efforts, and strengthening the tribe's ability to oversee hazardous waste activities in Indian Country.
The funding opportunity number for this announcement is EPA OSWER ORCR 10 03, and the administering agency is the EPA (Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response / Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, as implied by the code). Applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Denise Roy at (703) 308-8458 for assistance.
