organizations to help people participate in the decisions made at hazardous
waste cleanup sites. The grants also provide funding for projects that promote
proper waste management practices in homes, schools and businesses to prevent, reduce or clean up pollution.
Mostly created to improve water quality in specific ways, there are also components of these grants available for community pollution prevention education. Applications are accepted September 1 through October 31, 2007. New Funding Application and Guidelines are being revised for Fiscal Year 2009 and those documents will be posted by July 31, 2007.
