In response to community requests for technical consultants who specialize in working with communities affected by environmental problems, CPEO has put together the Community Consultant Directory. We have listed only independent technical consultants whose clients are mainly public stakeholders. That is, these people have both environmental expertise and experience in community outreach and organizing.

If you need some help in figuring out your cleanup project or environmental problem, try getting some information from the Federal government. There are Federal and State programs that provide resources for community stakeholders to hire an independent consultant. Listed below are Federal Agencies that provide point of contacts for their technology or community outreach programs.

The Environmental Protection Agency offers Technical Assistance Grants (TAG) for community stakeholders involved with a Superfund or National Priorities List (NPL) sites. Community groups are given up to $50,000 per award. Contact your Regional TAG Coordinator for more information.
The Department of Defense has recently set a program called the Technical Assistance for Public Participation . DoD's TAPP program provides technical assistance to local community members of RABs and Technical Review Committees (TRCs). Contact TAPP Headquarters and Service staff for more information.
