The Environmental Protection Agency has released an RFP for the Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) program that we thought some of you might find to be a good fit. According to the EPA, the CARE program is a "unique community-based, community-driven, multimedia demonstration program designed to help communities understand and reduce risks due to toxic pollutants and environmental concerns from all sources."
The EPA is looking to award cooperative agreements at two levels to support various activities. This includes working with the recipient to form community-based collaborative partnerships, identifying/understanding the sources of risk from toxic pollutants, and implementing actual projects to reduce these risks. Funding is available from $75,000 to $100,000 for a Phase I project and from $150,000 to $300,000 for a Phase II project.
If you're interested, the deadline to respond to the RFP is March 22nd. To determine if you're eligible or to read more, visit the EPA's website.
If you do apply, make sure to keep us in the loop. We always like to know what's going on around the state.

Clean Diesel Funding Opportunity
We wanted to make you aware of an RFP (request for proposal) offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) -- the National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program. Approximately $32 million is available, with applications due January 13, 2011.
Who's eligible?
A regional, state, local, tribal agency, or port authority with jurisdiction over transportation or air quality can apply. So can non-profits or institutions that provide pollution reduction or educational services to organizations that operate diesel fleets. School districts, municipalities, cities, and counties are also eligible, but they must fit the same criteria as the other organizations.
What sort of projects are eligible?
The EPA wants proposals for projects that achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions. This could include retrofit devices, cleaner fuels, engine upgrades, idle reduction technologies, or vehicle or equipment replacement, to name a few. Buses, medium-duty, or heavy-duty trucks, equipment or vehicles used in construction or agriculture would be eligible.
If you're interested, you'll need to check out the RFP announcement on the EPA's website to make sure you qualify and have the right sort of project. Remember: the deadline is January 13th.
