Description The Washington State Department of Ecology provides grants to local governments to investigate and clean up contaminated sites. Many of the grants require that local governments provide a 50% match to these funds. However, if a community is considered “economically disadvantaged,” their Oversight Grants and Independent Remedial Action Grants may be funded up to 75% of the eligible project costs.

The tables in this document identify which counties, cities, and towns are economically disadvantaged and eligible for a reduced match for grants received between July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023.

“Economically disadvantaged” is defined in the Remedial Action Grant (RAG) Rule, WAC 173-322A-100. It is also briefly discussed in Ecology’s Independent Remedial Action Grant guidance for the 2021–23 biennium (Publication Number 21-09-048) available at https://apps.ecology.wa.gov/publications/SummaryPages/2109048.html
