Please review Determining Your Eligibility and Requirements for Reimbursement before starting your application.

The complete Local Governments Remimbursement application package includes the LGR application form and a copy of the LGR regulations (40 CFR part 310).

• Download the Application Package for Reimbursement to Local Governments (PDF) (13 pp, 88K, About PDF)
• Hard copies are available from the Local Government Reimbursement HelpLine.

You must submit your application to EPA within one year of the "date of response completion." The date of completion is the date when all field work has been completed and all project deliverables (e.g., lab results, technical expert reports, or invoices) have been received by the local government. EPA will consider late applications on a case-by-case basis. We highly recommend that you send your applications through the U.S. Postal Service 1^st class, unregistered. Any other methods of delivery will delay receipt of your application by EPA. Mail completed applications to:

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Local Governments Reimbursement (LGR) Program
Attn: Lisa Boynton, Mail Code 5104-A
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C. 20460

You should receive a confirmation postcard within one month of the receipt of your application. If your application is complete, and it is approved, you will receive reimbursement within three to six months. If EPA requires more information to process the application, we will contact you for further details. This may increase the time it takes for you to receive reimbursement. If you have questions about the status of your application at any point in the process, please call the LGR HelpLine. For more information, see Frequent Questions about Local Governments Reimbursement.
