Grants to Arizona, California, and Nevada Indian tribal governments and intertribal consortia to develop and implement tribal hazardous and solid waste programs. Funding is intended to assist tribes and consortia in building organizational capacity to administer environmental protection programs that are consistent with federal regulations.
EPA provides financial assistance to federally recognized tribal governments (tribes) and intertribal consortia (consortia) to assist tribes in planning, developing, and establishing the capacity to implement federal environmental programs administered by the EPA and to assist in implementation of tribal solid and hazardous waste programs in accordance with applicable provisions of law, including the Solid Waste Disposal Act (commonly known as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA).
As described in the GAP Guiding Principles, this support promotes tribal government efforts to develop core environmental program capacities (administrative, financial management, information management, environmental baseline needs assessment, public education/communication, legal, and technical/analytical) and baseline capacities for media-specific programs such as ambient air quality, water quality, managing waste (see Attachment B: Allowable Solid Waste and Recovered Resource Program Implementation, Collection, Transportation, Backhaul and Disposal Costs), and other EPA-administered statutory programs.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, is issuing this funding opportunity notice for Indian Environmental General Assistance Program (GAP) cooperative agreement applications. Opportunities include:
Applicants may also apply for Inter-Tribal Consortia GAP.
Although Indian tribal governments and intertribal consortia are eligible to receive funds under this program, GAP funds are prioritized first for tribes, second for existing consortia, and lastly for new consortia.
