The Next Level

For Assessment, RLF, Cleanup, Multipurpose, and Section 128(a) Recipients that are familiar with using ACRES, this training will provide instruction on how to make ACRES work for you and your property scenarios, and the answers to some commonly asked questions. Approximately 60 minutes.

ACRES Office Hours

This hour will be set aside for ACRES users to call in with any ACRES-related questions. No question is a dumb question! Feel free to bring up a specific ACRES problem you're having, or join in just to listen and learn from others. Approximately 60 minutes.

Special Training Dates

Individual trainings may occasionally be offered for specific grant recipient types.  These trainings focus on the different reporting nuances that vary by grant and will be recorded and posted on our website:

• Using the Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Annual Post-Closeout Report Template

  This training is for EPA project officers and RLF Grant recipients who have Post-Closeout grants that are operating under the FY22 closeout agreement.  Consultants for grant recipients may attend as well.  Team ACRES will walk through the RLF Annual Post-Closeout Report Template which is now required for RLFs that are operating under a FY22 closeout agreement.  The training will be recorded and posted within ACRES.

• Using the Program Activity Levels (PALs) Report Template

  This training is for State and Tribal Response Program grant recipients and project officers.  Consultants for grant recipients may attend as well.  Team ACRES will walk through the PALs Report Template.  The training will be recorded and posted within ACRES.
