Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designed to help strengthen hazardous waste management in Indian Country. The program is focused on supporting federally recognized tribal governments and eligible intertribal consortia as they develop, expand, or implement hazardous waste management programs and build the long-term capacity needed to address hazardous waste issues on tribal lands. The underlying policy basis is the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, which emphasizes EPA recognition of tribal governments as the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs on their reservations, and the grant is framed as a way to help tribes carry out that role more effectively.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, meaning EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The assistance is categorized under environmental activities and is tied to CFDA 66.812 (Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes). The notice anticipated making four awards in total, with an estimated total funding amount of $319,000. Each award was set at a fixed amount, with both the ceiling and the floor listed as $79,750, indicating that applicants could expect a uniform award size if selected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for tribal applicants and allows projects to be designed around program needs rather than the ability to provide non-federal match.
Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, with the announcement also referencing intertribal consortia as eligible applicants. The notice directs applicants to consult Section III of the full announcement for specific eligibility details and any additional requirements that may apply to consortia arrangements, documentation, or authorization to apply. In practical terms, the competition is intended for tribes and tribal partnerships that are ready to propose specific activities that build hazardous waste program capacity, such as developing program plans, improving management procedures, enhancing compliance and oversight approaches, training staff, or creating foundational infrastructure for hazardous waste program implementation consistent with federal hazardous waste management goals.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 11, 2011. The archive date was August 10, 2011. Applicants were instructed to follow the submission and deadline instructions in Section IV of the official announcement, which typically outlines required forms, electronic or paper submission options, and any special procedural steps. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a point of contact: Denise Roy at (703) 308-8458.
