Superfund State and Indian Tribe Combined Cooperative Agreements (Site-Specific and Core)

This assistance program allows site-specific, non-remedial action activities and non-site specific Core state or Indian tribal Superfund support to be combined within the same cooperative agreement. The site-specific activities may include (1) non-time critical removal actions; (2) site characterization activities such as preliminary assessments, site inspections, remedial investigations, feasibility studies, and remedial design activities at potential or confirmed hazardous waste sites; (3) support for CERCLA implementation activities; (4) identification of Potentially Responsible Parties (PRPs); (5) settlement negotiations; (6) enforcement actions against PRPs; and (7) oversight of PRP cleanups. Core program support ensures that states or Indian tribes can substantially participate in CERCLA response actions. Recipients negotiate with EPA Regions to receive funding for a variety of non-site specific 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.
