DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR SUPERFUND REDEVELOPMENT PILOTS
In an effort to get Superfund sites back into productive reuse, EPA is seeking up to 40 pilot projects to fund up to $100,000 each in financial assistance and/or services under the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative. The deadline for application submission has been moved from March 10 to April 7. Announced in July 1999, the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative is a new program to help communities across the country restore toxic waste sites to productive use. Ten pilot projects were previously announced during the unveiling of the Initiative. To be eligible for selection as a pilot, the applicant must be a political subdivision, a federally recognized tribe or a state, and the applicant must have a site within its jurisdiction that is proposed or final on the National Priorities List (NPL), where construction of the remedy is not yet complete. Local governments that have sites within their jurisdictions that are not on the NPL, but where significant involvement by EPA is planned, may also be eligible if a cleanup decision is pending. Because the number of pilots to be awarded is limited, EPA has developed criteria for evaluating projects. The criteria can be found in the solicitation notice published in the Federal Register on Dec. 10, 1999. The notice extending the deadline to April 7 was published Feb. 28. Copies of the notice can be obtained at:
