(a)The EPA regional office award official for your grant may waive your group's $50,000 limit if your group demonstrates that:
(1)If it received previous TAG funds, you managed those funds effectively; and
(2)Site(s) characteristics indicate additional funds are necessary due to the nature or volume of site-related information. In this case, three of the ten factors below must occur:
(i)A Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (“RI/FS”) costing more than $2 million is performed;
(ii)Treatability studies or evaluation of new and innovative technologies are required as specified in the Record of Decision;
(iii)EPA reopens the Record of Decision;
(iv)The site public health assessment (or related activities) indicates the need for further health investigations and/or health promotion activities;
(v)EPA designates one or more additional operable units after awarding the TAG;
(vi)The agency leading the cleanup issues an “Explanation of Significant Differences” (ESD);
(vii)A legislative or regulatory change results in new site information after EPA awards the TAG;
(viii)EPA expects a cleanup lasting more than eight years from the beginning of the RI/FS through construction completion;
(ix)Significant public concern exists, where large groups of people in the community require many meetings, copies, etc.; and
(x)Any other factor that, in EPA's judgment, indicates that the site is unusually complex.
(b)Your group can also receive more than $50,000 if you are geographically close to more than one eligible site (for example, two or more sites × $50,000 = grant of $100,000) and your group wishes to receive funding for technical assistance to address multiple eligible sites.
