## Abstract

This action is intended to outline EPA's process for identification, evaluation, selection, and implementation of projects for funding under the Great Lakes Legacy Act of 2002 (also referred as GLLA or the Legacy Act). The Legacy Act authorizes the appropriation of $50 million annually for fiscal years 2004-2008 for contaminated sediment remediation projects and provides EPA with a unique approach for addressing contaminated sediment problems in Great Lakes Areas of Concern. The Act also authorizes smaller amounts of funding for other activities; this action pertains only to sediment remediation project selection and implementation. This action provides information to those interested in submitting cost-share, sediment remediation projects to EPA for funding under the Legacy Act.
