Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Household Hazardous Waste Collection and Disposal Grant Program for Tribes is a competitive funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10, to help eligible tribal applicants build or strengthen programs that safely collect and dispose of household hazardous waste (HHW). The core purpose is to support the design, management, and on-the-ground implementation of HHW collection and disposal efforts in tribal communities, with a clear emphasis on reducing risks to human health and protecting the environment. A key expectation is that projects do more than run a one-time collection event; they should also build practical, long-term capacity so tribes can sustain hazardous waste management improvements over time.
EPA Region 10 planned to fund roughly five cooperative agreements under this announcement. Unlike a standard grant where the recipient carries out the work largely independently, a cooperative agreement typically means there may be more active involvement or partnership from the EPA during the project period, depending on the award terms. Applicants were asked to explain how their proposed activities would improve health and environmental outcomes and how the work would lead to durable, sustainable HHW management within their community.
The estimated total funding available for the competition was $360,000, contingent on Congressional appropriations, the quality of proposals received, and other agency considerations. EPA anticipated making up to five awards, with each individual award capped at an estimated maximum of $72,000. There was no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes the program more accessible for tribes that may have limited ability to contribute cash or in-kind match.
The opportunity was listed as a discretionary funding program, using the cooperative agreement instrument type, and it fell under the environmental activity category. It was associated with CFDA number 66.812, the Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes, which signals the broader federal assistance program area supporting tribal hazardous waste management priorities.
A notable requirement of this program is that the final results and findings from each funded proposal must be presented in a transferable format. In practical terms, that means grantees were expected to document what they did, what worked, what did not, and what lessons were learned in a way that other tribal communities can reuse. This kind of deliverable could include guidance documents, templates for collection events, operational procedures, outreach materials, or summaries of methods and outcomes that can be adapted by other tribes, helping the broader tribal community benefit beyond the individual project site.
Key administrative details included an original closing date of June 17, 2011, which was later extended to a current closing date of June 24, 2011, with applicants instructed to follow the full announcement (especially Section IV) for submission requirements and deadlines. The opportunity was posted on May 2, 2011, created on June 16, 2011, and archived on July 24, 2011. Eligibility was identified broadly as “Others (see text field),” with specific eligibility rules referenced in Section III of the official announcement, indicating that interested tribal applicants needed to consult the full solicitation to confirm they met the program requirements.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a regional contact in Seattle, Washington: Fran Stefan at EPA Region 10, including a phone number (206-553-6639) and an email contact (as listed in the posting).
