Superfund Technical Assistance Grants (TAGs)

Purpose	To enable communities affected by a site on the Superfund National Priorities List (NPL) to obtain technical assistance in interpreting information regarding the site.
Eligible Applicants	Groups must be located near or affected by a site that is either proposed for or on the National Priorities List. Groups must incorporate as nonprofit organizations.
Award Amount	Up to $50,000 initially; in the case of complex sites, additional funds may be available.
Total Awarded in Fiscal Year	Varies.
Matching Share	20% matching share required; in-kind contributions may be used to meet this match.
Key Dates: Application Due Selection	Applications may be submitted after a site is proposed for listing on the NPL.
Priorities	Because only one grant is available for each NPL site, EPA encourages groups to consolidate in order to provide technical assistance to the most widely representative group of individuals possible. To this end, EPA notifies the community via a public notice in the local newspaper if an application is received from an eligible group.
