About this program
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency disburses grants under the Hazardous Waste Management program (CFDA 10.125) to investigate, characterize, remediate, and provide regulatory oversight of carbon tetrachloride contamination at former grain bin storage facilities in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.
The program addresses soil and groundwater contamination that resulted from the USDA Commodity Credit Corporation's grain storage operations between the late 1930s and mid-1970s. During that era, the CCC fumigated stored grain with carbon tetrachloride to control pests; the chlorinated solvent subsequently leached into local soils and groundwater. The EPA banned carbon tetrachloride as a pesticide in 1985 and designated it a hazardous substance under CERCLA and state remediation laws. Funded activities include site investigations, characterization studies, and remedial actions necessary to protect public health at contaminated grain storage sites operated under leases in the four-state region.
The source does not report recent grant awards, award cadence, assistance-type distribution, funding concentration, award magnitudes, or open grant opportunities. No information is provided on program activity dates, the timeline of disbursements, or the dollar volume of obligated funds. Memorandums of Understanding specify award requirements with each of the four recipient states.
The program operates under a narrow geographic and substantive scope: it funds remediation work exclusively at former USDA grain storage sites in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri where carbon tetrachloride contamination from historical fumigation practices has been documented. This specificity suggests a tightly defined portfolio with a limited number of potential applicants, confined to state and local environmental or public health agencies in the four named states. Recipients and subrecipients must retain federal award records for three years from the date of submission of their final financial report.
Objective and description
- Objective
The objective of this assistance is to facilitate the investigation, characterization, remediation, and regulatory oversight relating to carbon tetrachloride and its associated degradation products, at certain former CCC grain bin storage facilities
- Description
The FSA Hazardous Waste Management program uses Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funding for site investigation and remedial actions at contaminated grain storage sites for the protection of public health in the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. The USDA CCC operated a large-scale surplus grain storage program from the late 1930's until the mid-1970s as part of USDA's price support program for American farmers at various leased properties in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. Because much of the grain was stored for extended periods of time, it was necessary to fumigate the grain to control destructive pests. The fumigant mixture most used by CCC contained the chlorinated solvent carbon tetrachloride and was released into local soils and groundwater supplies at various sites. Carbon tetrachloride was used as a pesticide for stored grain until banned by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1985 and designated as a hazardous substance under CERCLA and State remediation laws.
