 >*   EPA Pollution Prevention Grants Program - EPA seeks grant
 >funding applications from State and Tribal Governments for projects
 >that address the reduction or elimination of pollution by businesses
 >across all environmental media: air, water and land - EPA has about
 >$4.1 million in grant funds for the program in FY 2006 - EPA notes
 >that " ... The goal of the grants program is to assist businesses
 >and industries in identifying better environmental strategies and
 >solutions for reducing or eliminating waste at the source. Funds
 >awarded through the grants program are to be used to support State
 >and Tribal P2 programs that address the reduction by businesses of
 >potentially harmful pollutants across all environmental media: air,
 >water, and land. Programs should reflect comprehensive and
 >coordinated pollution prevention planning and implementation efforts
 >within the State or Tribe. Past P2 Grants have demonstrated that
 >facilities have ample opportunities to implement pollution
 >prevention and that source reduction can be a cost-effective way of
 >meeting or exceeding Federal and State regulatory requirements. For
 >purposes of this grant announcement, pollution prevention/source
 >reduction is defined as any practice which: Reduces the amount of
 >any hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant entering any
 >waste stream or otherwise released into the environment (including
 >fugitive emissions) prior to recycling, treatment or disposal;
 >Reduces the hazards to public health and the environment associated
 >with the release of such substances, pollutants, or contaminants;
 >and Reduces or eliminates the creation of pollutants through: (i)
 >increased efficiency in the use of raw materials, energy, water, or
 >other resources; or (ii) protection of natural resources by
 >conservation. Examples of pollution prevention/source reduction
 >projects or activities include: equipment or technology
 >modifications, process or procedure modifications, reformulation or
 >redesign of products, substitution of raw materials, and
 >improvements in housekeeping, maintenance, training, or inventory
 >control ... For additional information and guidance about activities
 >covered by grants issued under the PPA ... see
 >http://www.epa.gov/oppt/p2home/p2policy/index.htm ... Examples of
 >outcome measures expected to be achieved under the grants awarded
 >through this announcement include, but are not limited to: Pounds of
 >pollution reduced, BTUs of energy conserved, Gallons of water saved,
 >and Dollars saved through P2 efforts. Examples of output measures
 >expected to be achieved under the grants awarded through this
 >announcement include, but are not limited to: Number of stakeholder
