Environmental Protection Agency

Description

EPA annually awards grants and cooperative agreements under the Source Reduction Assistance (SRA) Grant Program to support pollution prevention/source reduction and/or resource conservation projects that reduce or eliminate pollution at the source. The grant program does not support projects that rely on reducing pollution by using recycling, treatment, disposal or energy recovery activities. This solicitation announces that nine of the EPA’s Regional Pollution Prevention Program Offices anticipates having up to approximately $130,000, per region, or anticipates having up to approximately $1,170,000 in total award funding to issue SRA awards in FY 2009 – FY 2010. EPA will issue the award funds in the form of grants and/or cooperative agreements. All funding will be awarded and managed by the nine EPA Regional P2 Program Offices participating in this announcement. All of the forgoing estimates are subject to the availability of appropriations.
