Opportunity Information: Apply for EPA OLEM ORCR 18 01
The FY 2018 Hazardous Waste Management Grant Program for Tribes is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discretionary funding opportunity designed to help federally recognized tribes and intertribal consortia strengthen how hazardous waste is managed in Indian country. The focus is on supporting the development, implementation, and expansion of tribal hazardous waste programs, with an emphasis on practical capacity-building work that helps tribes prevent, identify, manage, and address hazardous waste issues on tribal lands. The opportunity aligns with the EPA Indian Policy of 1984, which affirms that tribal governments are the primary parties responsible for managing environmental programs on reservations, and it frames this grant as a way to support that leadership role with targeted resources and technical assistance.
This program is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning EPA expects a more active partnership with awardees than a typical grant. In practice, this usually indicates ongoing coordination with EPA staff, shared planning, and EPA involvement in shaping or supporting project activities to ensure the work meets program goals. The EPA office associated with this opportunity is within the Office of Land and Emergency Management (OLEM), specifically the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR), and it is tied to CFDA number 66.812, which corresponds to hazardous waste management-related assistance.
A key feature of the FY 2018 announcement is that it continues an evaluation approach EPA began reassessing in FY 2015. Because funding is limited, EPA adjusted its proposal review criteria to maximize benefits across Indian country by reaching more tribes with meaningful technical assistance and support for hazardous waste management activities. In other words, the program is structured not just to fund a few large efforts, but to broaden the impact of the available dollars by prioritizing proposals that build capability and address real hazardous waste management needs on tribal lands. The overarching intent is to increase the number of tribes that can take concrete steps toward safer hazardous waste practices, stronger program infrastructure, and improved environmental and public health protections.
The funding opportunity is identified as "EPA OLEM ORCR 18 01" and was posted on May 17, 2018. The original closing date listed is June 28, 2018, with the note that applicants should rely on the full announcement (particularly Section IV) for the official submission instructions, methods, and any additional timing details. The award ceiling is $101,000 per award, and EPA anticipated making about three awards under this competition. Eligibility is limited to federally recognized tribes or intertribal consortia (with details clarified in the announcement under the additional eligibility information), reinforcing that this funding is specifically intended to support tribal governments and tribal partnerships in building and carrying out hazardous waste management capacity in Indian country.Apply for EPA OLEM ORCR 18 01
