Is the purchase of equipment allowed for this grant program?

Yes, the purchase of equipment is allowed. Equipment is tangible personal property (including information technology systems) having a useful life of more than one year and a cost that equals or exceeds $10,000 per unit. Necessary items that are less than $10,000 per unit should be categorized in the project budget as ‘supplies’ and not as ‘equipment’.

EPA will consider requested equipment costs against the overall budget to ensure that these costs are reasonable.
