About this program
The Department of Energy's Remedial Action and Waste Management program (CFDA 81.092) funds environmental restoration activities at the Oak Ridge Reservation under the Federal Facility Agreement, with the most recent award disbursed October 1, 2026.
The program supports environmental cleanup and remedial action work under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) at Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Award activity has become sparse in recent years, with one award per year in 2021, 2023, and 2026 after a concentrated grant cycle in 1999 that produced 55 awards. Overall, the program has distributed 105 awards totaling $151.3 million in federal dollars obligated since 1981. The Department of Energy dominates funding, providing 101 awards worth $88.1 million, while the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management contributed 4 awards worth $63.2 million.
Project Grants comprise 72 percent of the portfolio (76 awards), with Cooperative Agreements at 27 percent (28 awards) and a single Block Grant. Award magnitudes vary significantly. Recent major awards include Federal Facility Agreement environmental restoration work funded at $18.2 million (awarded November 2023, completion June 2028) and earlier restoration work at $43.6 million (awarded December 2011, completion October 2023). Smaller recent awards supported training of enforcement officers for transuranic and spent-fuel transportation at $120 thousand (October 2026, completion September 2029) and $1.9 million (October 2021, completion September 2026). Assistance is typically released quarterly over generally five-year project periods.
