The Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative
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.
1
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 §311(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 nonalternative 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 4
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.
