EPA's management information system for grants programs is the Integrated Grants Management System (IGMS), which awards, administers, and monitors grants. Grants are regularly awarded to Federal, State, or local government agencies, universities, and other institutions that support EPA's environmental programs. Specific types of agreements include assistance agreements, grants, cooperative agreements, interagency agreements, and other types of program support agreements administered by Headquarters or EPA regions. This dataset contains point locations for grants given out by the USEPA.

The State Grant IT Application (SGITA) was created in response to Grants Policy Issuance (GPI) 11-03, State Grant Workplans and Progress Reports. The policy was developed by the State Grant Workplan Workgroup and was designed 1) enhance accountability for achieving grant performance objectives; 2) ensure that State grants are aligned with the Agency 2019 Strategic Plan; and 3) provide for more consistent performance reporting. To achieve those objectives, the GPI requires that workplans and associated progress reports prominently display three Essential Elements the EPA Strategic Plan Goal; the EPA Strategic Plan Objective; and Workplan Commitments plus time frame. The GPI applies to the fourteen State grant programs previously subject to the State Grant Performance Measures Template. It supplements, but in no way supersedes, existing workplan requirements in 40 C.F.R. Part 35 Subpart A. The effective date of the GPI is October 1, 2012. Awards made under Program Code for State and Tribal Underground Storage Tanks Program utilizing STAG funds are required to submit workplans and progress reports in SGITA. Those awards funded using LUST funds are not applicable to GPI 11-03. If an award has both STAG and LUST funds, those workplans and progress reports must be entered into SGITA. SGITA was developed from a requirement in the GPI stating that an application needed to be created to electronically store workplans and progress reports for the applicable programs. EPA Project Officers are to enter the information into SGITA as frequently as workplans and progress reports are required per the terms and conditions of the grant award. The application is accessible to EPA Personnel, OMB, and State users.

This is a provisional dataset that contains point locations for all Environmental Justice (EJ) grants given out by the US EPA. There are many limitations to the data so it is advised that these metadata be read carefully before use. Although the records for these grant locations are drawn directly from the official EPA grants repository (IGMS Integrated Grants Management System), it is important to know that the IGMS was designed for purposes that did not include accurately portraying the grants place of performance on a map. Instead, the IGMS grant recipients mailing address is the primary source for grant locations. Particularly for statewide grants that are administered via State and Regional headquarters, the grant location data should not be interpreted as the grants place of performance. In 2012, a policy was established to start to collect the place of performance as a pilot for newly awarded grants that were deemed community-based in nature and for these the grant location depicted in this database will be a more reliable indicator of the actual place of performance. As for the locational accuracy of these points, there is no programmatic certification process, however, they are being entered by the Grant Project Officers who are most familiar with the details of the grants, apart from the grantees themselves. Limitations notwithstanding, this is a first-of-breed attempt to map all of the Agencys grants, using the best internal geocoding algorithms available, and is a useful tool for getting to an understanding of the distribution of USEPA grant-giving. The EJ Grants layer contains Places of Performance for single locations or areas where EJ grants are applied. This layer consists of grant data that is derived from an Environmental Justice grant program. This includes any grants that have a Catalogue of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) code identifier of 66.604, signifying Environmental Justice Hazardous Substances Research Small Grants to Community Groups and Environmental Justice Small Grants Program for Community Research. It also contains any grant whose program code acronym is equivalent to EJ (Environmental Justice Community/University Partnership Grants Program), EQ (Environmental Justice Small Grant Program), TJ (State and Tribal Grants for Environmental Justice), PS (Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving Grants Program), EP (Environmental Justice Assistance), or RJ (Environmental Justice Research Assistance). In addition to the above program code and CFDA code criteria, this data contains grants from the following grant programs: Environmental Justice Pollution Prevention Grants Program Surveys, Studies, Investigations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to Environmental Justice Environmental Justice Training and Fellowship Assistance Assistance to Nonprofit Organizations with Activities Relating to Environmental Justice Environmental Justice Hazardous Substances Research Small Grants to Community Groups State Environmental Justice Cooperative Agreement Program

This is a provisional dataset that contains point locations for the subset of Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) grants given out by the US EPA. CARE is a competitive grant program that offers an innovative way for a community to organize and take action to reduce toxic pollution in its local environment.

A key role of the EPA is to provide Government with advice on the environmental acceptability of proposed development. Development proposals include proposals for mining, industry, as well as infrastructure such as ports, railways, and pipelines. This dataset is a spatial representation of significant development proposals referred to the EPA under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Part IV of the act provides the legislative framework for the assessment of environmental impacts. The boundaries in this dataset serve as the administrative record of where proposals are spatially assessed against other environmental data of interest. Note that: a) not all proposals contain a spatial component; if not, no boundary is recorded b) the accuracy of boundaries is dependent on the quality of data provided by the proponent. The spatial boundaries in the dataset are provided by proponents, with additional attributes completed by DWER Spatial Services.
