If your community or organization intends to apply for an EPA 2020 Assessment, Revolving Loan Fund or Cleanup (ARC) Grant, EPA requires grant applicants, excluding tribal environmental authorities, to obtain a letter from the Wisconsin DNR acknowledging that the state is aware the applicant is applying for a federal grant to conduct brownfield assessment, revolving loan fund or cleanup activities.

With the December 3, 2019 grant application deadline approaching, staff with the DNR’s Remediation and Redevelopment (RR) Program ask that you submit your request at least two weeks prior to the EPA’s grant application deadline to allow adequate time for the DNR to draft and deliver the letter.

You can request your state letter of acknowledgment from the DNR by emailing Gena Larson or by calling Gena at 608-261-5404.

Information about what should be provided with your request can be found on the RR Program’s Federal Brownfields Grants webpage.
