The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the Qawalangin Tribe of Unalaska a $115,378 CERCLA Section 128(a) State and Tribal Response Program Grant (CFDA 66.817) to enhance the tribe's brownfields response program. The funding will support the tribe's efforts to survey and inventory brownfield sites, provide oversight and enforcement of response actions, ensure public involvement, and approve and verify cleanup plans for contaminated properties within the tribe's traditional lands. The grant will enable the Qawalangin Tribe to continue investigating reported sites, update their site inventory and public record, coordinate with partners to address brownfield sites, and provide community outreach. This award aligns with the program's primary objectives of establishing and maintaining effective state and tribal brownfields response capabilities.
