Opportunity Summary:
The Materials Management Assistance Grants in EPA Region 10 (2009) opportunity was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 10, aimed at supporting practical, on-the-ground projects that reduce solid waste and improve overall materials management. The program focus was on solid waste reduction, product and materials stewardship, and broader materials management approaches that help prevent waste in the first place, increase reuse and recycling where appropriate, and encourage more sustainable handling of materials across their life cycle. EPA indicated that awards could be made under either Section 8001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6981, or Section 10 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2609, depending on which authority best fit a given project.
Funding was offered through grants and/or cooperative agreements, meaning EPA could either provide relatively standard financial assistance (a grant) or take a more involved role in the project through substantial federal participation (a cooperative agreement). The announcement anticipated making about four awards in total, with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $10,000 (award floor) and $40,000 (award ceiling). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowered the barrier for organizations that might not have had access to non-federal match dollars.
Geographically, the projects needed to serve EPA Region 10, specifically Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, as well as lands in Indian Country within Region 10s geographic area. In other words, proposals had to demonstrate a clear benefit to one or more of those states or to eligible tribal lands within the region, aligning the work with Region 10 priorities around materials use and waste reduction.
The catalog listing tied the opportunity to CFDA number 66.808, Solid Waste Management Assistance Grants, and the activity category was listed as Environment. The funding opportunity number was EPA R10 RCC 2009. EPA noted that eligibility was described in more detail in Section III of the full announcement, and the public synopsis listed eligible applicants broadly as "Others," with the instruction to consult the announcement text for clarification. Similarly, EPA directed applicants to the full announcement (especially Section IV) for the official submission methods, required forms, and any detailed due date instructions.
Key dates were straightforward: the opportunity was posted and created on August 19, 2009, and the application deadline (original and current closing date) was October 5, 2009. The opportunity was archived on November 4, 2009, indicating the solicitation period had concluded. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, EPA provided a direct contact: Ofelia Erickson at (206) 553-2583.
