Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) - California Grants Portal DTSC’s Cleanup in Vulnerable Communities Initiative Technical Assistance Grant (TAG) will provide approximately $1. 5 million in grant funding to California community organizations to engage in the cleanup process of contaminated properties in their communities.
The TAG program provides funds ranging from $40,000 to $150,000 to eligible communities to hire independent Technical Advisors (TAs) with the goal to effectively communicate technical information to communities so they can become more involved and informed about Response Actions (cleanup sites). Response Actions include activities performed to address a release or potential release of contamination at a property under DTSC oversight.
TAG funds can be used to fund services provided by independent TAs, including Community Science projects under the general guidance of TAs. Community Science provides community members an educational component as well as the opportunity to ask their own questions, participate in the collection of community confirmation sampling, and advocate for themselves.
TAs will provide grantees with unbiased, independent reviews of cleanup site-related information. TAs should be qualified in areas related to the type of contamination and specific issues relevant to the cleanup sites. Communities must be considered underserved and vulnerable.
This may be shown by meeting one or more of the following criteria*: CalEnviroScreen (CES) score of 75% or higher CES poverty rate of 50% or higher or a Tribal community If the above criteria are not met, applicants may provide additional justification to show that their community is underserved and vulnerable *The Grant Manager’s address will be used to represent the community.
