Document:
The Local Governments Reimbursement (LGR) program operates under the authority of 40 CFR Part 310—Reimbursement To Local Governments For Emergency Response To Hazardous Substance Releases. The purpose of the LGR program is to provide funds, in the form of reimbursements for expenses, to local, county, and tribal governments that respond to a hazardous substance release in their jurisdiction. These funds are limited to $25,000 per incident, and are only available if the applying government is not at fault for the release. EPA's goal is to give financial assistance to government entities that do not have a budget allocated for emergency response and cannot otherwise provide adequate response measures.
For more information, including details on eligibility and how to apply for reimbursement, see our Local Governments Reimbursement (LGR) Program pages.
