Superfund Technical Assistance Grants for Citizen Groups at Priority Sites
|
The EPA awards funds to qualified groups of individuals to procure independent technical advisors to help in interpreting and commenting on Superfund site-related information and decisions. Examples of how a technical advisor can help a group include, but are not limited to: reviewing preliminary site assessment/site investigation data; participating in public meetings to help interpret information about site conditions, proposed remedies, and the implementation of a remedy; visiting the site vicinity periodically during cleanup, if possible, to observe progress and provide technical updates to the group; and evaluating future land use options based on land use assumptions in the "remedial investigation/feasibility study". Funds can be used at sites that are listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) or proposed for the NPL where a "response" action has begun. |
