State Environmental Enforcement Training (SEET) Grant
What is the SEET Grant?
States play a vital role in the implementation of the nation’s environmental laws and regulations. In order to strengthen and build states’ capacity to monitor compliance and enforce against violations of environmental laws, EPA has routinely provided non-competitive grant funds to train state environmental enforcement personnel. These grants have been managed by the National Enforcement Training Institute (NETI) since the late 1980’s as awarded to the four Regional Environmental Enforcement Associations.
In FY2009, NETI conducted an open grant competition to continue providing enforcement training to state enforcement personnel. Competition for NETI’s funds was done in accordance with EPA Order 5700.5A1 (PDF) (37 pp, 152 K, About PDF).
Who benefits from this training grant?
The SEET grant is intended to provide a comprehensive training program, similar to the training program that NETI currently manages. The training audience includes regulatory inspectors, attorneys, civil/criminal investigators, and case development specialists, available throughout the 50 United States, offering subject matter coverage across multiple statutes.
