Possible uses and use restrictions...
Core Program Cooperative Agreements are offered to ensure that each State, or Federally Recognized Indian Tribe or Tribal Consortia can substantially participate in CERCLA response actions. Recipients negotiate with the Regions to receive funding for a variety of activities that include: (1) Procedures for emergency response actions and remediation of environmental and health risks; (2) provisions for satisfying all requirements and assurances; (3) development of legal authorities and enforcement support; (4) hiring and training staff; and (5) activities that support EPA/Recipient interaction. Recipients with Regional approval may receive awards for multi-year budget and project periods at the Region's discretion; funding for the entire project may be made as a lump sum or incrementally over time. Recipients must demonstrate progress towards the goals stated in the Core Program Cooperative Agreement in order to be eligible for continued funding; only one Core Program Cooperative Agreement will be awarded to each eligible State or Tribe through the Single Point ofContact.
