Opportunity Information: Apply for TAT RWTS PILOT
The TAT for Innovative Regional Wastewater Treatment Solutions Grant Pilot Program is a USDA Utilities Programs discretionary grant opportunity (CFDA 10.761) focused on helping historically impoverished communities that face persistent wastewater treatment problems because local soil conditions make conventional systems difficult or impractical to install. The central purpose of the funding is not routine construction itself, but technical assistance and planning work that identifies and evaluates innovative, economically feasible, regional approaches to wastewater treatment. In other words, the expected deliverable is a work product (such as an assessment, feasibility analysis, alternatives evaluation, or similar technical planning output) that supports a specific proposed project designed to address these wastewater challenges at a regional scale rather than as a single small, isolated fix.
A key requirement is that the proposed effort must be regional in scope and tied to one of several eligible project categories. The regional project it supports must involve either improving rural wastewater facilities (including constructing, enlarging, extending, or otherwise upgrading those systems) or carrying out related public improvements that are necessary to successfully operate or protect the eligible wastewater facilities. Those related public improvements can include constructing or relocating public buildings, roads, bridges, fences, or utilities when those actions are needed for the wastewater facilities to function properly or to be safeguarded. The program also allows, when necessary for the same operational or protective purpose, the relocation of certain private improvements such as private buildings, roads, bridges, fences, or utilities. Across these categories, the grant is essentially meant to help communities and partners do the upfront technical work needed to choose and justify a practical regional solution, particularly in places where traditional onsite or standard approaches fail due to soil limitations.
The opportunity also has a detailed list of prohibited uses that shape what applicants can and cannot propose. Grant funds cannot be used for political activity or lobbying, and they cannot reimburse work that has already been completed. They also cannot be used to purchase real estate or vehicles, renovate or improve office space, or repair and maintain privately owned property. Construction or furnishing of a building is explicitly not allowable under this technical assistance framework. In addition, funds cannot be used to intervene in federal regulatory or adjudicatory proceedings, to sue the federal government or other government entities, or to cover costs that are unallowable under federal assistance cost principles (specifically 2 CFR Part 200 as adopted by USDA through 2 CFR Part 400). The program also prohibits using grant money for contributions or donations to others.
There are additional restrictions aimed at preventing duplication, legal conflicts, and ethics issues. Projects cannot duplicate technical assistance provided for action plans under the National Forest Dependent Rural Communities Economic Diversification Act of 1990; moreover, an applicant cannot receive both this grant and Forest Service grants implementing those action plans for five continuous years from the date of Forest Service grant approval. Applicants are also ineligible if they have an outstanding recorded federal court judgment obtained by the United States (other than in U.S. Tax Court) until that judgment is fully paid or otherwise satisfied. Finally, any project that creates a conflict of interest, or even the appearance of a conflict of interest, is not allowed, reinforcing the expectation that selections and resulting work remain objective and publicly accountable.
From the posting details, the funding opportunity number is TAT RWTS PILOT, it was created October 5, 2020, and originally closed November 4, 2020. The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data (often a sign that the ceiling was not specified in the listing rather than indicating no funding), and the opportunity anticipated making two awards. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, so prospective applicants would need to confirm eligible entity types and any partnership expectations in the complete application package. Overall, the program is best understood as a targeted technical assistance and evaluation grant designed to help rural, historically impoverished regions develop realistic, cost-effective wastewater strategies where soil conditions have blocked traditional solutions.Apply for TAT RWTS PILOT
