Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OLEM ORCR 20 01
The FY 2020 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funding opportunity designed to help federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia strengthen how hazardous waste is managed in Indian country. The program focuses on supporting the development and implementation of tribal hazardous waste programs and, just as importantly, on building long-term capacity so tribes can better identify, prevent, and respond to hazardous waste issues on tribal lands. The underlying purpose is practical: reduce risks to human health and the environment by improving hazardous waste management systems where tribal governments have responsibility and authority.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning EPA expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. It falls under the environmental funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 66.812. The EPA frames the program in line with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, which recognizes tribal governments as the primary parties for managing programs on reservations. In other words, the funding is meant to reinforce tribal leadership and decision-making in hazardous waste management, not replace it.
EPA also notes that, because overall funding is limited, it revised how it evaluates applications starting in FY 2015. The stated goal of those changes is to spread the benefits of the program more broadly by providing technical assistance to a greater number of tribes, particularly for activities connected to hazardous waste management on tribal lands. For applicants, this signals that proposals are likely assessed not only on technical merit, but also on how effectively they build workable capacity and deliver tangible benefits within resource constraints.
Key administrative details include the opportunity title "FY 2020 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT GRANT PROGRAM FOR TRIBES" and funding opportunity number "EPA OLEM ORCR 20 01," reflecting management by EPA's Office of Land and Emergency Management and the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery. The posting (creation) date is April 2, 2020, and the original closing date is May 28, 2020, with EPA directing applicants to consult the full announcement, especially Section IV, for specific submission methods and any due date nuances. The maximum award amount listed is $98,000, and EPA anticipates making about three awards under this competition.
Eligibility is centered on federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia (with the listing indicating "Others" and directing readers to the eligibility clarification section in the full announcement). Overall, the program is best understood as a targeted capacity-building and program-development funding stream: it aims to help tribes establish or expand the people, plans, procedures, and partnerships needed to handle hazardous waste concerns effectively, with EPA providing both financial support and hands-on technical engagement through the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for EPA OLEM ORCR 20 01
