Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi (NHBP) received $331,500 in funding under the Performance Partnership Grants program (CFDA 66.605) administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5, effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2030. This formula grant supports the operation and expansion of NHBP's continuing environmental programs, enabling the tribe to consolidate multiple eligible grant programs into a single performance partnership agreement with streamlined administrative requirements and enhanced flexibility to prioritize environmental initiatives.

The grant funds the development and maintenance of NHBP's environmental program infrastructure, with primary deliverables centered on water quality protection, brownfields remediation, and pollution prevention. Specific products and services include establishing and enhancing a site response program incorporating all four elements of brownfields capability, building administrative, technical, legal, and enforcement infrastructure necessary to assume and implement EPA environmental programs, and implementing measures to prevent and control surface and groundwater pollution from point and non-point sources. Additionally, the funding supports environmental education and outreach activities to develop the tribe's capacity to manage these programs independently. The direct beneficiaries are NHBP citizens, and no sub-awards are included in this assistance agreement.
