Oversight remedial action grants & loans

Local governments can apply for a loan or grant to help clean up hazardous waste sites supervised by Ecology or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under a legal order or decree.

Every even-numbered year, we work with local governments to understand the 10-year cost of critical cleanup work in Washington. Their responses inform our biennial budget request to the Governor and Legislature. Our grant managers coordinate applications for grants and loans that receive funding every two years in the approved biennial budget.

Cultural resource review

For ground-disturbing remedial actions to be eligible for grant funding, Ecology or another state or federal agency must consult with the Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and affected Tribes before cleanup actions begin. Our cultural resource review webpage has more details about this requirement.
