Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Tribal Solid Waste Management Assistance Project was a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intended to support solid waste planning, assessment, and implementation work in Indian Country. The program focused on helping eligible tribal entities address open dumps and improve overall solid waste management systems through targeted projects that either build foundational information (like assessments and plans) or move directly into on-the-ground improvements (like equipment, facilities, or dump closure activities). It was posted on March 5, 2010, with an application deadline of April 16, 2010, and it was later archived on May 16, 2010.
Funding under this opportunity was available through CFDA 66.808 (Solid Waste Management Assistance Grants). EPA expected to make about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. Individual awards ranged from a minimum (floor) of $10,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $500,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which generally means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Applicants were required to submit proposals under one of four distinct categories, and each proposal had to address only a single category. If an applicant wanted to pursue more than one type of project, they could submit multiple proposals, but each one had to be limited to a single category rather than combining activities across categories in one application. The four categories were: (1) projects to characterize or assess open dumps, which typically involves identifying dump locations, documenting conditions, estimating waste types and volumes, and evaluating risks; (2) projects to develop integrated solid waste management (ISWM) plans along with tribal codes and regulations, aimed at building governance and a structured approach for waste handling, collection, disposal, and enforcement; (3) projects to develop and implement alternative solid waste management activities or facilities, including equipment acquisition, which can include practical improvements such as purchasing waste handling equipment or establishing new management approaches that reduce reliance on open dumps; and (4) projects to develop and implement cleanup, closure, and post-closure programs for open dumps in Indian Country, which can include planning and carrying out closure actions and ensuring longer-term post-closure controls and monitoring.
Eligibility centered on federally recognized Native American tribal governments, with the announcement noting that additional eligibility details were provided in Section III of the full solicitation. The opportunity listing also advised applicants to consult Section IV of the full announcement for the official submission methods and any detailed deadline instructions. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Tonya Hawkins at (703) 308-8278.
