Availablity of Grants for the Remediation of Waste Tire Piles in Pennsylvania Under the Waste Tire Recycling Act (Act 190) of 1996
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP or Department) hereby announces the availability of grants under the Waste Tire Recycling Act (Act 190) for the remediation of waste tire piles in Pennsylvania. Act 190 provides a grant program, tax credits and enforcement provisions to reduce the waste tires that are stockpiled and generated annually in the Commonwealth. The Waste Tire Pile Remediation Grant Program is funded through the creation of the Used Tire Pile Remediation Restricted Account, which may receive up to $1 million annually from the Recycling Fund established by Act 101, the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. Grants totaling $1,000,000 may be awarded annually from this account for up to 5 years.
In order to be considered for a grant, an applicant: 1) must propose to remediate a waste tire pile that is on DEP's list of priority waste tire piles (copies of this list are available from the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, (717) 787-7381, or may be obtained electronically via the DEP Internet site on the world wide web at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us under the Municipal and Residual Waste page); 2) must not have contributed, in any manner, to the creation of a noncompliant waste tire pile; and 3) must have an identifiable end-use for the remediated waste tires.
Grant funds are intended to be used for activities directly related to the remediation of priority waste tire sites (such as employe wages, operation of equipment, transportation, processing costs, and the like). Grants may not be used for the purchase of equipment and grant recipients shall use funds only for those activities approved by DEP.
All grant applicants must complete and submit an official two-part application for each proposed tire pile remediation. The Waste Tire Remediation Grant Part A and B Applications include all the materials and instructions necessary for applying for a grant. Copies of these documents are available by contacting the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste at (717) 787-7381 or may be obtained electronically from the DEP Internet site on the world wide web at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us Part A and Part B applications must be completed and submitted by 4:30 p.m. on May 16, 1997 to: Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, 14th Floor-Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101-2301.

The Department of Environmental Protection announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904).
Municipalities eligible for the grants include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. Authorities are not eligible to apply for the grants, but may be sponsored by a county or muncipality.
This solicitation is not for projects to be considered under the public/private partnership grant program.
The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority in the order they are listed. Intergovernmental cooperative recycling projects within any category will receive higher priority.
1. Projects implemented by a municipality, mandated by Act 101 to have a curbside recycling program, that establish or maintain compliance with the recycling requirements of the Act including:
a) semi-annual public information and education programs required under Act 101 section 1501(d) concerning recycling program features and requirements for the residential, commercial, institutional and municipal sectors; and,
b) programs for the collection of recyclables and leaf waste from residential, and/or commercial, institutional and municipal establishments.

3. Replacement equipment for the collection or processing of recyclables or leaf and yard wastes.

Municipalities and counties are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act (53 P. S. §§ 11701.101--11701.501), are eligible to receive funding for an additional 10% of approved costs.
Eligible recycling program development costs include: recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; development of recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts or procuring equipment and services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.
Eligible recycling program implementation costs include: vehicles used to collect or transport recyclable materials to processing or storage facilities, or in the operation of a materials recovery facility, or in the transport of recyclable materials to market; reusable containers for household recyclable materials storage and collection; the cost of acquisition and/or renovation of buildings for the processing or storage of recyclable materials; equipment used for the processing of recyclable materials; and land improvements for a recycling facility. Yard waste composting programs as defined by the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Management Regulations, Chapter 75, will be considered as recycling programs.

The municipality must allow 30 days for responses from interested individuals. When the municipality submits the recycling grant application to the Department, it must include proof of compliance with the notification requirements, a description of any responses received to the notice, and an explanation of why the municipality has concluded the mechanical processing equipment is not available to the program from the private sector.
