RGI projects should:
- Address places, sectors or innovative projects;
- Be based on a regional, state, tribal or other strategic plan;
- Address problems that are multi-media [E.G. Water, Air,
- Hazardous Waste, Etc.] in nature or fill a critical gap in the protection of human health and the environment;
- Demonstrate state, local and/or other stakeholder participation; and/or
- Identify opportunities for leveraging other sources of funding.
Funding Duration:
- Projects may receive funding for one or more years but generally will not receive RGI funds for more than four years.

RGI in Region 10
In Region 10, RGI funding supports projects in geographic areas in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington that have been identified as a high priority by the Region, States, Tribes, localities, or citizen groups due to high or potentially high human health or ecosystem risk, or due to significant potential for risk reduction or avoidance. Problems addressed by RGI often showcase innovative solutions and act as a catalyst for cooperatively addressing important environmental issues.
