Overview
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9, Air Division, is soliciting applications from eligible Tribes and Tribal Consortia to fund Tribal Indoor Radon Pilot Projects. Projects must demonstrate the effectiveness of reducing health risks through the development of projects for the assessment and mitigation of radon. Applications must address one or more of the following priority areas:
- promote radon-resistant new construction techniques in new homes and schools;
- disclosure, testing, and mitigation in conjunction with residential real estate transactions;
- developing radon programs in high-risk areas;
- developing coalitions that work in partnership with local governments, Partner affiliates and others interested in reducing the risk of radon;
- promote testing and mitigating of homes and schools for radon;
- implementing innovative radon awareness outreach activities.
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) was mandated by Congress under Title III of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), also known as the Indoor Radon Abatement Act of 1988 (IRAA) and the Indian Radon Pilot Project Act (IRPPA), to fund tribal governments to provide education, outreach and encourage testing and mitigation for indoor radon exposures, so that indoor radon exposures may be eventually reduced to no greater than outdoor radon exposures. There is no match requirement under this program.
These awards are intended for work to be carried out in Region 9 which consists of Arizona, California, Nevada, Guam, Hawaii, and the Pacific Islands.
EPA Region 9 anticipates that approximately $160,000 of federal funds will be available for Tribal Indoor Radon Pilot Projects. Region 9 anticipates awarding approximately 2-3 grant agreements ranging in size from no less than $25,000 and no more than $60,000 for work to be completed in either one or two years.
