The following two grants are those most commonly available in South Dakota. All American Indian tribes recognized by the United States Government are also eligible for this grant. The HMEP grant is more diverse than the Title III grant in that it provides funds for hazardous materials training and planning. The planning portion of the grant is available to state government and LEPCs for hazardous materials emergency response planning and exercising. The grant pays for projects such as commodity flow studies, writing and printing emergency response plans, and hazards analyses.
States often receive other hazardous materials planning and training grants from federal agencies.
The Environmental Protection Agency also provides states, and especially tribal government, with hazardous materials grant opportunities.
