2004 P2 Grant FR Notice of Availability
April 9, 2004
Under the authority of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990, EPA plans
to award $5 million in pollution prevention grants to the States, Tribes,
and Intertribal Consortia in FY 2004 for prevention activities during
FY 2005. These grant dollars are targeted at State and Tribal technical
assistance programs that address the reduction or elimination of pollution
by businesses across all environmental media: air, land, and water. Since
the inception of the grant program, EPA has awarded approximately $80
million. The goal of this grant program is to assist businesses and industries
in identifying better environmental strategies and solutions for reducing
waste at the source. This year, in order to achieve regional and preferably,
national impact, the regions are encouraging grant applicants to replicate
prior P2 grant projects which have demonstrated a measurable environmental
impact. Each region will have the flexibility of selecting at least one
project, which demonstrates a measurable impact. In addition, this year,
EPA, more prominently emphasizes measurement as one of the National program
criteria used in evaluating grant applications.
