Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OLEM ORCR 19 02
The FY 2019 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary funding opportunity designed to help federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia strengthen how hazardous waste is managed in Indian country. The core purpose is to support the development and implementation of tribal hazardous waste programs and to build long-term capacity so tribes can better prevent, assess, and address hazardous waste issues on tribal lands. The opportunity is grounded in the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, which recognizes tribal governments as the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs on reservations, and it is structured to direct practical support to tribal governments as they build or expand these capabilities.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements, which typically means the EPA expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, through technical collaboration, coordination, and oversight), rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal agency engagement. The program falls under the environmental funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 66.812. The solicitation emphasizes capacity building and technical assistance, reflecting an EPA effort that began in FY 2015 to reassess and refine application evaluation criteria. That reassessment was intended to stretch limited funds further by increasing the number of tribes that can receive meaningful support, particularly for activities directly tied to hazardous waste management on tribal lands.
For FY 2019, the Funding Opportunity Title is "FY 2019 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT GRANT PROGRAM FOR TRIBES" and the Funding Opportunity Number is "EPA OLEM ORCR 19 02," indicating it is administered through EPA's Office of Land and Emergency Management (OLEM), specifically the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR). The opportunity anticipates making about three awards, with an award ceiling of $98,000 per award. In practical terms, this suggests the program is aimed at targeted, high-impact projects that can either launch foundational program elements or substantially improve existing tribal hazardous waste management efforts within a relatively modest budget range.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia, with the formal eligibility listing shown as "Others" and clarified in the notice's additional eligibility information. Applications were created/posted on June 19, 2019, with an original closing date of August 1, 2019. The announcement directs applicants to consult the full notice (including Section IV) for the official submission process, required forms, submission methods, and exact due date details, which typically include registration steps and compliance requirements that can take time to complete.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a capacity-focused EPA funding stream intended to help tribal governments plan, develop, and carry out hazardous waste management activities in Indian country. It reflects EPA's policy position that tribes should be empowered as lead governmental partners in reservation environmental management, while also acknowledging that funding is limited and therefore prioritized toward projects that deliver hands-on technical progress and scalable improvements across more tribal communities.Apply for EPA OLEM ORCR 19 02
