Community-Wide Assessment Grant for States and Tribes | AK Dept. of Environmental Conservation Community-Wide Assessment Grant for States and Tribes In 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) a Community-Wide Assessment Grant for States and Tribes (CWAGST).
Through this grant, DEC will be able to provide an array of assessment services to communities across the state, such as: ASTM Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs) , which include desktop research into site history, environmental records, stakeholder interviews, and a site visit to identify potential areas of contamination; ASTM Phase II environmental site assessments (ESAs) , which include sampling for potential contaminants based on site history and knowledge of local stakeholders; Property Assessment and Cleanup Plans (PACPs) , which is an Alaska-specific document that includes a Phase I ESA, elements of a Phase II ESA, and initial cleanup planning; Hazardous building materials (HBM) surveys , which include screening and sampling for common HBM contaminants, including asbestos, lead, and PCBs; and Analyses of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives (ABCAs) , which identify potential cleanup options and factors to consider when weighing which cleanup approach to choose, including costs.
This grant will allow DEC Brownfields to provide additional site assessment and cleanup planning services outside of the annual DEC Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup (DBAC) application period. More information can be found below. Submit a Nomination Online The St Elias Auto Center in Yakutat is a brownfields project that will be funded in part by an EPA Community-Wide Assessment Grant for States and Tribes (CWAGST).
(DEC photo) Brownfields Site Nomination Form DEC Brownfields Assessment Grant Fact Sheet What types of properties are eligible for these services? Brownfields are abandoned, unused, or underused properties that are hindered from desired reuse or redevelopment by real or perceived environmental contamination.
Common brownfields include properties with suspected contamination due to historic activities or local knowledge (for example, a property with an historic heating oil tank or with a building constructed in the 1970s when hazardous building materials were commonly included in building materials). Eligibility is determined by the EPA.
Key considerations include whether a responsible party who is financially viable can be identified and how the property would provide a public benefit if it was cleaned up and reused. Contact the DEC Brownfields Team to discuss specific eligibility questions. What types of services can DEC provide through this new grant?
DEC can provide ASTM Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs), ASTM Phase II ESAs, Property Assessment and Cleanup Plans (PACPs), Hazardous Building Materials (HBM) Surveys, and cleanup planning. Site assessment activities can include field screening, soil and groundwater sampling, and HBM sampling, depending on site-specific needs. Can these funds be used to clean up a site?
No. These funds can be used for assessment activities and cleanup planning only. However, DEC Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup (DBAC) services may provide cleanup services. How can I get a brownfield in my community assessed through this grant?
If you are aware of a brownfield property that could benefit from this service, fill out our online Site Nomination Form to let us know. If you prefer, you may fill out a PDF version of the form and email it to the DEC Brownfields Team to get the process started. How is this different than services provided through the DEC Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup (DBAC) Program?
This funding can be used to provide assessment and cleanup planning services similar to those provided through the DBAC Program. Unlike DBAC, however, this funding cannot be used to clean up a brownfield property. DEC prioritizes which brownfields programs it is able to undertake based on the annual DBAC application process, which typically runs from August to November.
With this new grant, however, DEC is able to fund more projects each year and can consider taking on additional brownfields projects outside of the traditional DBAC application period. To begin the process, you can submit a Site Nomination Form at any time. Can I only submit a Site Nomination Form during the annual DBAC application period?
No. DEC will accept Site Nomination Forms on a rolling basis. The Site Nomination Form is not an application, but provides initial information to begin discussing project eligibility. How many projects does DEC expect to fund each year?
DEC estimates it will award 8-10 projects each year through this grant; however, the number of projects will depend on the types and needs of projects in any given year. Who can I contact if I have additional questions? We would love to go over any questions or discuss a potential site with you.
Email the DEC Brownfields Team at dec. brownfields@alaska. gov and a team member will get back to you shortly.

Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations or fiscally-sponsored groups with annual income or expenses of $150,000 or less; government agencies, colleges, and universities are not eligible.

The North American Wetlands Conservation Act funds wetland and migratory-bird habitat through two tracks — U.S. Small Grants (up to $250,000, closing June 25, 2026) and the larger U.S. Standard Grants. Both require a 1:1 non-federal match, and that match is where most applications are won or lost. Here is how the program works, who is eligible, and why land trusts and Tribes should care.
Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
Read articleThe EPA Gulf of America Division announced up to $50 million on May 5 for 20-30 Farmer-to-Farmer demonstration grants of $1.5M-$2.5M each across EPA Regions 3-8. Applications close June 19, 2026. The geographic scope spans from Pennsylvania to Texas — eighteen states drained by the Mississippi-Atchafalaya system — and the funding model rebuilds the federal conservation playbook around farmer-led demonstrations rather than top-down agency design.
