       Proposal Guidelines for
       Brownfields Job Training and
       Development Demonstration Pilots

-------
           EPA's Brownfields Job Training and

            Development Demonstration Pilots

The brownfields environmental job training and development pilots will each be funded up to
$200,000 over two years. These funds are to be used to bring together community groups, job
training organizations, educators, investors, lenders,  developers, and other affected parties to
address the issue of providing training for residents in communities impacted by brownfields.
The goals of the pilots are to facilitate cleanup of brownfields sites contaminated with hazardous
substances and prepare the trainees for future employment in the environmental field. The pilot
projects must prepare trainees in activities that can be usefully applied to a cleanup employing
an alternative or innovative treatment technology.  Although EPA has decided not to require
that recipients share in the cost of the program through a specific matching formula, the Agency
will take the extent to which recipients demonstrate the ability to "leverage" limited EPA funds
into account in evaluating and ranking proposals.

EPA expects to select approximately 10 Brownfields Environmental Job Training and
Development pilots by the end of December 2001. Pilot applicants must be located within or
near one of the brownfields assessment pilot communities (see Attachment A on page 12).
Colleges, universities, nonprofit training centers exempt from taxation under 26 U.S.C.
501(c)(3), community job training organizations, states, cities, towns, counties, U.S. Territories,
and federally recognized Indian tribes are eligible to  apply for the funds. EPA welcomes and
encourages applications from coalitions of such entities, but a single eligible entity must be
identified as the legal recipient. Entities with experience in providing environmental job training
and placement programs, including training in alternative or innovative treatment technologies,
are invited to apply.  The deadline for proposals is October 19, 2001.
              EPA's Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots

EPA defines brownfields as abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial facilities
where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental
contamination. EPA's Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative is an organized
commitment to help communities revitalize such properties both environmentally and
economically, mitigate potential health risks, and restore economic vitality to areas where
brownfields exist.  Successful brownfields cleanup and redevelopment are proof that economic
development and the environment can, and indeed, must coexist.

As a part of the Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative, EPA has funded  399
Brownfields Assessment Demonstration Pilots.  The pilots are designed to empower states,
communities, tribes, and other economic redevelopment stakeholders to work together in a
timely manner to prevent, assess, safely cleanup, and sustainably reuse brownfields. EPA has
awarded cooperative agreements to states, cities, towns, counties, and  tribes for demonstration
pilots that test brownfields assessment models, direct special efforts toward removing regulatory
barriers without sacrificing protectiveness, and facilitate coordinated public and private efforts at
the federal, state, tribal and local levels.

-------
A critical part of EPA's efforts to encourage assessment and cleanup of brownfields is
participation by affected residents. In addition, EPA works to ensure that disadvantaged
residents do not bear a disproportionate burden of the effects of environmental contamination.
Revitalization of communities that are distressed due to uncertain liabilities related to
environmental contamination typically results in improved job opportunities. This should not
cause the displacement of local disadvantaged residents due to a lack of training needed to fill
those job opportunities.  To help residents take advantage of jobs created by the assessment and
cleanup of brownfields, EPA initiated the Brownfields Job Training and Development
Demonstration Pilots.

                  Authority for Brownfields Job Training  Pilots

Funding for the brownfields environmental job training and development demonstration pilots is
authorized under §311(b)(9)(A) of the Comprehensive Environmental  Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, (CERCLA or Superfund), 42 U.S.C. 9660(b)(9)(A). This
statute authorizes and directs EPA to carry out a program of training and an evaluation of training
needs in the procedures for the handling and removal of hazardous substances for employees who
handle hazardous waste substances, training in the management of facilities at which hazardous
substances are located, and training in the evaluation of the hazards to  human health presented by
such facilities for State and local health and environmental agency personnel. The Agency is
authorized to award grants and cooperative agreements for this purpose by CERCLA §311(b)(3).
Training funded under this solicitation must be in the handling and removal of hazardous
substances related to the implementation of alternative or innovative treatment technologies as
defined in §311(b)(10) of CERCLA. The statute defines the term alternative or innovative
treatment technologies as: technologies,  including proprietary or patented methods, which
permanently alter the composition of hazardous waste through the toxicity, mobility,  or volume
(or any combination thereof) of the hazardous waste or contaminated materials being treated.
The term also includes technologies that characterize or assess the extent of contamination, the
chemical and physical character of the contaminants, and the stresses  imposed by the
contaminants on complex ecosystems at sites.

The statute also requires that EPA, to the maximum extent possible, "enter into appropriate cost
sharing arrangements" with recipients under CERCLA §31 l(b)(3).  The Agency has determined
that imposing a specific "match" formula for cost sharing is not appropriate due to the financial
and administrative burdens that such a requirement would impose on potential recipients.
Rather, the Agency will take the extent to which applicants demonstrate their ability to leverage
EPA funds into account as an evaluation factor. For the purpose  of these guidelines,  leveraging
refers to developing a coordinated Brownfields job training program which uses other training
resources available to the recipient to complement the limited funding  EPA can provide for
training in the handling and removal of hazardous substances.

The Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance Number for this program is 66.811.

-------
                         Limitations on Use of EPA Funds

Restrictions on the use of CERCLA funding apply to brownfields environmental job training and
development demonstration pilot cooperative agreement recipients.  For example, pilot funds
may not be used for training for sites contaminated by petroleum products unless they are
believed to be co-mingled with a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant (e.g., used oil).
CERCLA expressly excludes petroleum from the definition of hazardous substances.
Demonstration pilot proposals should conform to the following guidelines:

 •     Pilot applicants must be located within or near one of the 399 brownfields assessment
       pilot communities (see Attachment A on page 12).

 •     Eligible applicants include colleges, universities, nonprofit training centers, community
       job training organizations, states, cities, towns, counties, U.S. Territories, and federally
       recognized Indian tribes. EPA welcomes and encourages applications from coalitions of
       such entities, but a single eligible entity must be identified as the legal recipient.
       Nonprofit organizations must be exempt from tax under 26 U.S.C. 501(c)(3)  to be
       eligible for funding.

 •     Pilot funds may be used to train residents of communities impacted by brownfields in the
       procedures for the handling and removal of hazardous substances, which includes training
       for jobs in sampling, analysis, and site remediation. The proposed training program
       must encompass activities that can be usefully applied to a cleanup employing an
       alternative or innovative treatment technology. Funds may be used for: 1) training in
       the management of facilities at which hazardous substances are located; 2) training for
       response activities often associated with cleanups—for example, landscaping, demolition,
       and groundwater extraction—where these activities are directly related to planned
       cleanups; and 3) development of curriculum for the training described in this paragraph.
       Pilot funds may be used to cover administrative costs, but most of the pilot funds should
       be used for hazardous waste management training.

 •     The recipient may teach trainees skills that are relevant to the implementation of non-
       alternative or non-innovative treatment technologies, provided these skills can be applied
       to alternative or innovative treatment technologies as well.

 •     Pilot funds may be used for training participants in the use of the techniques and methods
       for cleanup of leaking underground storage tanks, asbestos abatement, or lead abatement
       where this training is a component of a more comprehensive hazardous waste
       management training course.

 •     Use of pilot funds requires that training programs provide proof of non-replicability with
       other established hazardous waste management training programs in their target
       community. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences maintains a list of
       their worker training grantees on their web site, http://www.niehs.nih.gov/wetp.

 •     Pilot funds may be used for outreach activities directed toward improving participation in
       hazardous waste management training for communities impacted by brownfields.
       Proposed training programs must establish procedures to ensure that participants are

                                           3

-------
       recruited from the neighborhoods where the brownfields sites are located and graduates
       from their training programs are employed in cleaning up hazardous waste facilities.

 •     Pilot funds may not be used for conducting site assessments or actual cleanups. Pilot
       funds may not be used for response activities often associated with cleanups—for
       example, landscaping, demolition, and groundwater extraction. Assessment, cleanup, and
       associated activity costs should be funded through other means, such as state voluntary
       cleanup programs, state and federal government grants, state tax incentive programs,
       tribal funds, contributions from responsible parties, and prospective purchaser
       agreements.

 •     Pilot funds may not be used for general or life skills education activities, job readiness
       training, GED costs, transportation costs or stipends for students, web site development,
       vehicle or medical insurance, or child care costs.

 •     As specified in Agency guidance, Pilot funds may not be used to support "lobbying"
       efforts of the grantee (for example, lobbying members of Congress or state legislatures, or
       lobbying for other federal grants, cooperative agreements, or contracts).

 •     Pilot funds may not be used to match any other federal funds unless there is specific
       statutory authority for the match. CERCLA does not provide this authority.  However,
       pilot funds may be used to match state or local funds  if authorized by the relevant state
       statute or local ordinance.

All costs incurred under this program must be allowable under the applicable OMB Cost
Circulars (A-21 for educational institutions, A-87 for governments, and A-122 for nonprofit
organizations).

                            Evaluation of the Proposals

The National Brownfields Job Training and Development Demonstration pilots are administered
on a competitive basis.  To ensure a fair selection process, evaluation panels consisting of EPA
Regional and Headquarters staff and other federal agency representatives will evaluate the
proposals.

The evaluation panels will assess how well the proposals meet the evaluation criteria outlined
below. All evaluation criteria have equal weight. The panels give each proposal "high, medium,
or low" scores on  each criteria, determine which proposals have the potential to effectively use
the limited funds EPA has available for awards, and rank the proposals on that basis. The panel's
recommendations will be presented to EPA Senior Management for final selection.  Senior
Agency management may also take geographic distribution of funding into account in making
final selection decisions.

Proposals must be clear and decisive and strictly follow and address each of the criteria.
Sufficient detail must be provided for the panels to compare the merits of each proposal and
decide which proposals best support the intent of the pilot program.  Vague descriptions,
unnecessary redundancy,  and failure to address budgetary responsibility for all training,
recruitment, and placement costs may reduce the chance of a favorable rating.  Incomplete

-------
proposal packages will not be accepted.  Proposals providing the best evidence of a true need, a
quality project, a proven record of job placement and student tracking, leveraging of partnerships
with public and private sources, a comprehensive budget analysis and detailed budget narrative,
and effective use of funds will have the best chance of being recommended by the panels.
Proposals must include training in the handling and removal of hazardous substances related
to innovative and alternative treatment technologies.

When a proposal is selected, applicants will receive a confirmation letter, and the appropriate
EPA Regional Brownfields Coordinator and Regional Grants Specialist will be informed. The
applicant will then be asked to submit a formal cooperative agreement application package.  This
package will include a formal work plan that describes the work to be performed, including a
final budget, and the required certification forms. The EPA Regional Brownfields Coordinators
and Regional Grants Specialists will work closely with the applicants to process and finalize the
cooperative agreement package. Proposal funding is not guaranteed at any stage of the
proposal process until the final awards are given.

Applicants with proposals that are not selected will be informed in writing. EPA's goal is to
select a broad array of brownfields environmental job  training and development demonstration
pilots that will serve as training models for other communities across the nation.  EPA seeks to
identify applications that demonstrate integration of the pilots with their community's existing
brownfields cleanup and redevelopment efforts;  other federal, state, tribal, and local sustainable
development programs; community revitalization programs; and pollution prevention programs.

       and universities, 40 CFR Part 31 for states, local governments, and tribes, and 40 CFR
       Part 45 for training assistance).

2.0    PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Project Overview is an important opportunity to summarize your plans for the proposed
pilot. Information you provide  in the Project Overview may overlap with your responses to the
evaluation criteria. Provide an overview of the following topics:

2.1     Background

 •     Describe your experience in  providing training, particularly training in the handling of
       hazardous materials.

-------
 •     Include a description of how this experience relates to training in alternative or innovative
       treatment technologies.

2.2    Goals and Objectives

 •     Discuss the goals of your overall brownfields environmental job training and
       development efforts. This should represent broader goals than those to be attained by an
       EPA brownfields pilot. This should provide a context for understanding your plans for
       use of pilot funding. Goals should be specific, measurable, realistic, and within a specific
       time  frame.

 •     Discuss the educational and employment objectives of the EPA-funded aspects of your
       brownfields environmental job training and development demonstration pilot. Please
       adhere to the limitations on the use of EPA funds (see page 3).

2.3    Project Strategy

 •     Provide an overview of your proposed curriculum and participant recruitment plan.
       Describe follow-up employment development plans, such as placement and employment
       tracking.

 •     Describe the role and resources to be provided by all of your public and private partners
       in the pilot. Discuss the process  you will use to ensure that services and products
       acquired with EPA funds comply with competitive procurement requirements contained
       in the EPA  assistance regulations applicable to your organization.  If a sole source
       contract is being proposed as part of the EPA pilot budget, explain why and demonstrate
       that a cost or price analysis was conducted prior to deciding on the use of a sole source
       contract.  If your organization intends to provide non-competitive "subgrants" to other
       nonprofit or governmental organizations, discuss  the process you will follow to ensure
       that these agreements meet the standards for financial assistance contained in OMB
       Circular A-133, Section	.210.  EPA's Brownfields program does not allow recipients
       of Job Training Pilot funds to make subgrants to for-profit organizations.  Please note that
       all contracts and subgrants for activities that are central to the performance of this
       agreement are subject to EPA approval under 40 CFR 30.25 and 40 CFR 31.30.

 •     Provide documented evidence of the commitment of potential employers to your
       proposed training pilot.

 •     Describe other training programs offered to your target community and demonstrate that
       your  program does not duplicate  other existing programs.

 •     Describe the involvement of advisory boards or councils and other commitments to
       involve the  community in decision making.

-------
3.0    RESPONSES TO EVALUATION CRITERIA
Your response to each of the following criteria will be the primary basis on which EPA selects or
rejects your proposal for one of the pilots. The proposal evaluation panels will review the
proposals carefully and assess each response based on how well it addresses each criterion.

3.1   Budget and Leveraging

 •    Provide a comprehensive proposed budget for your training project.  This should include
      cost estimates for each of the proposed pilot activities to be conducted using EPA funds.
      Although EPA pilot funds may be used on administration, equipment, and supplies,
      emphasis should be placed on delivery of training. The following is a suggested budget
      format:

EPA Pilot Funding
Personnel
Fringe Benefits
Travel
Other (contractual,
supplies, etc.)
Total EPA Funds
Administration






Instruction






Outreach






Other Tasks






Total






 •     Demonstrate how you will leverage EPA funding to develop a coordinated training
       program.  Provide a narrative and graphic description that clearly explains how funds and
       other resources provided by collaborative partners will complement EPA pilot funds.
       Each partner's role should be clearly defined. Distinguish between how EPA funds will
       be used and how funds or other resources from the partners will be used (e.g., DOL
       financed life-skills training).

3.2    Problem Statement and Needs Assessment

 •     Identify your brownfields assessment pilot partner (recipient of an EPA assessment pilot
       grant located in your service delivery area, see page 12).

 •     Describe the community you propose to serve under this pilot. Provide demographic
       descriptions of the population, poverty rate, and unemployment rate within the service
       delivery area or community you are identifying in your proposed pilot.

 •     Demonstrate the need for environmental training in your identified community.  The need
       for training can be indicated by environmental and economic conditions, brownfields
       cleanup and redevelopment activities, environmental job  training planning, and

-------
       commitments from future employers to hire local residents to fill environmental cleanup
       jobs.

 •     Explain how environmental training will impact the environmental and economic
       situation in the identified community.

 •     Indicate whether your community is located in or near an Empowerment Zone/Enterprise
       Community (EZ/EC) or is classified as a small community (population < 100,000).

3.3    Community Involvement and Partnerships

 •     Describe your efforts to involve community-based organizations in developing this
       proposal. Provide a list of the community-based organizations involved and a contact
       person, phone number, and brief description of the organization's activities and
       representation. These organizations may include, but are not limited to, local citizen
       groups, environmental organizations, civic organizations, local business groups and
       institutions, educational institutions, and local labor organizations. Letters of support
       should be included as attachments.  These organizations may be contacted by EPA during
       the evaluation process.

 •     Describe how the recipient of the EPA assessment pilot grant in your service delivery
       area will be involved in your proposed project.

 •     Describe how you plan to leverage funds and other resources to support the pilot. For
       example, provide details on how you intend to fund life skills training, pre-employment
       training, counseling, child care, academic enhancement, placement assistance,
       transportation assistance, and other activities not funded by this grant. Letters of
       commitment from your partners should be included as attachments.

 •     Describe how the employer community (for example, local businesses, environmental
       contractors, brownfields site owners) has been involved in the development of the
       proposed training.  This involvement could include curriculum development, advisory
       councils, apprenticeships, and mentoring.

 •     Describe prerequisite skills or knowledge (math, science, or other related education)
       required by participants in the training program. Describe partnerships with local
       community groups, labor unions with apprenticeship programs, academic and other
       institutions, historically black colleges and universities, and public schools located in or
       near the identified community that can provide the prerequisite skills or knowledge.

3.4    Institutional Capacity

 •     Describe your experience  and the experience of your partners in providing environmental
       and other job training services to the identified community. Include a description of
       experience  and capacity to provide training in alternative or innovative treatment
       technologies. Describe the success of your organization in recruitment, job training, and
       placement.

-------
 •     Describe the certifications (for example, HAZWOPER, lead abatement, asbestos
       abatement) that your organization and collaborative partners have been approved to
       provide to graduates.

3.5    Training Program Objectives and Plans

 •     Describe the objectives of your proposed project. Specify:  1) how many participants you
       expect to train through this pilot; 2) when you expect to conduct training classes; 3) your

       4) the target time frame for tracking graduates (at least one year).

 •     Discuss your training plans and clearly describe who will conduct the environmental
       training. Describe how classes will be structured and what topics will be covered,
       including how innovative and alternative treatment technologies will be covered. Training
       in the use of innovative and alternative treatment technologies may be delivered via
       existing or new courses, guest speakers, site visits, and other mechanisms. Descriptions
       and additional information on innovative and alternative treatment technologies are
       available at http://www.epa.gov/swertiol/index.htm, EPA's Technology Innovation
       Office web page.  Discuss how your plan will address skills and knowledge required in
       the handling and removal of hazardous substances. Provide an abbreviated course  outline
       as an attachment.

 •     Describe ordinances requiring employment of local residents (first source hiring) and how
       the ordinances will affect your training and placement plans.
