This EPA grant is specifically for federally-recognized tribes and intertribal consortia. Its primary purpose is to fund the development and implementation of comprehensive hazardous waste programs and to build essential capacity for effective hazardous waste management within Indian country. Aligned with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, the agency acknowledges tribal governments as the principal entities responsible for managing reservation programs. Since FY 2015, the EPA has refined its proposal evaluation criteria to ensure optimal benefit from available funding. This strategic adjustment aims to extend technical assistance to a greater number of tribes, empowering them to address critical hazardous waste challenges on their lands.
