Under the Superfund law, EPA can award Technical Assistance Grants (TAGs) to allow communities to hire independent experts to help them interpret technical data, understand site hazards, and become more knowledgeable about the different technologies that are being used to clean up sites.

Community groups may be eligible for a TAG if they are affected by a Superfund site that is listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) or proposed for listing on the NPL where a response action is underway. More information about TAGs is available from the EPA Community Involvement Coordinator, Diana Hammer,
