Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2011 Tribal Solid Waste Management Assistance Project was a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support practical solid waste management work in Indian Country. The program was designed to help eligible tribal entities address ongoing challenges such as open dumps, planning gaps, and the need for safer, more sustainable waste systems. Funding was offered through assistance agreements (including cooperative agreements, grants, and other eligible instruments), with EPA expecting to make about 10 awards from an estimated total of $500,000. Individual awards could range from $10,000 up to $500,000, and the opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
Applicants were required to apply under exactly one of four project categories per proposal, keeping each submission focused and clearly scoped. The first category supported efforts to characterize or assess open dumps, which can include identifying dump sites, documenting conditions, and collecting information needed to prioritize future cleanup and closure work. The second category focused on building the policy and planning foundation for long-term management by funding the development of integrated waste management (IWM) plans along with tribal codes and regulations. The third category supported the development and implementation of alternative solid waste management activities or facilities, and specifically allowed for equipment acquisition, meaning projects could move beyond planning into tangible improvements in how waste is handled, collected, processed, or managed. The fourth category funded development and implementation of cleanup, closure, and post-closure programs for open dumps, supporting actions that reduce risks to human health and the environment and establish longer-term controls and monitoring after closure.
The solicitation allowed an applicant to pursue more than one category, but only by submitting separate proposals, each tied to a single category. This structure was meant to keep project goals, budgets, and evaluation criteria straightforward and comparable across applicants. The opportunity was posted on June 8, 2011, with a closing date of July 22, 2011 (with instructions to consult the full announcement, particularly Section IV, for detailed submission and due date guidance). The opportunity later archived on August 21, 2011. Eligibility was described as "Others" with additional clarification and formal requirements provided in Section III of the full announcement, reflecting that participation was limited to certain eligible entities rather than open to all applicant types.
For reference and cross-program alignment, the announcement listed several CFDA numbers associated with environmental and tribal infrastructure activities, including 66.808 (Solid Waste Management Assistance Grants), 15.041 (Environmental Management Indian Programs), 93.445 (Indian Health Service Sanitation Facilities Construction Program), and 10.760 (Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities). Questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to Tonya Hawkins at (703) 308-8278.
