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 cleanupsfor example, landscaping, demolition,
and groundwater extractionwhere 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 cleanupsfor
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.
