Cleanup Grants and Funding
Grants and funding are available for various aspects of many of the cleanup programs. For example, some encourage community involvement in the cleanup process, some support training related to cleanups, and some help fund cleanups and redevelopment. For details, please see the specific grant and funding opportunities listed below.
- Environmental Finance Program - This program assists communities in their search for creative approaches to funding their environmental projects.
- Technical Assistance Grants (TAGs) - A Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) provides money for activities that help your community participate in decision making at eligible Superfund sites. An initial grant up to $50,000 is available for any Superfund site that is on the EPA's National Priorities List (NPL), proposed for listing on the NPL and a response action has begun.
- Technical Outreach Services for Communities (TOSC) - The Technical Outreach Services for Communities program helps citizens better understand the hazardous contamination issues in or near their communities by providing free, independent, non-advocate, technical assistance about contaminated sites.
- Superfund Job Training Initiative (SuperJTI) - The Superfund Job Training Initiative, or SuperJTI, supports job training programs in communities affected by nearby Superfund sites and encourages the employment of trainees at local site cleanups. The SuperJTI program combines extensive classroom instruction with hands-on work experience for each participant. Upon completion of the program, each participant possesses the marketable skills required to become a valuable member of the community's workforce.
- Brownfields Grants - EPA's Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative is designed to empower states, communities, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely manner to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields.
