TRIBAL WORKGROUP REQUESTS PROPOSALS
FOR OPEN DUMP CLEAN UP PROJECT
FOR OPEN DUMP CLEAN UP PROJECT
The National Tribal Solid Waste Interagency Workgroup is soliciting proposals for its Fiscal Year 2001 Tribal Open Dump Cleanup Project. This project is designed to assist tribes with closing or upgrading their high threat waste disposal sites and planning for appropriate disposal alternatives. In FY 2000, $2.4 million was awarded to 11 tribes. Pre-proposals are due by Nov. 13 and final proposals by Feb. 23, 2001. The Tribal Solid Waste Interagency Workgroup was established in April 1998 to design a federal plan to help tribes bring their waste disposal sites into compliance with the federal municipal solid waste landfill criteria. The workgroup includes representatives from EPA, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Indian Health Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, and Housing and Urban Development. The request for proposals form is available at: https://www.epa.gov/tribalmsw (click on “What’s New”) or contact Beverly Goldlbatt, 703-308-7278.
