Availability 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 (Department) announces the availability of grants under the Waste Tire Recycling Act (Act 190 of 1996) for fiscal year 99/00 for the remediation of waste tire piles in Pennsylvania. Act 190 provides a grant program, tax credits and enforcement provisions to reduce the stockpiles of waste tires. The Waste Tire Pile Remediation Grant Program is funded through the Used Tire Pile Remediation Restricted Account, which may receive up to $1,000,000 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.

   To be considered for a grant, an applicant: 1) must propose to remediate a waste tire pile that is on the Department'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 by means of the Department's 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 waste tires to be remediated.

   Grant funds are 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 the Department.

   All applicants must complete and submit an official two-part application for each proposed tire pile remediation. The Waste Tire Remediation Grant Application Parts A and B 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 Department Internet site on the world wide web at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us. Five copies of the application containing both Parts A and B must be completed and submitted by 4 p.m. on May 21, 1999 to: Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, 14th Floor-Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472. Applications, which are incomplete or arrive after the deadline, will not be considered.

   At a minimum, all applications must contain: (1) a description of the applicant's experience in waste tire remediation, (2) markets or end-uses for the remediated tires, (3) a schedule for the remediation of tires at the site, (4) proposed cost of the waste tire pile remediation, and (5) any additional information the Department deems necessary. Please follow the instructions in the Part A and B Grant Application to assure you are submitting all of the necessary information in the correct format.

   Persons who have questions about this grant program should contact the Division of Municipal and Residual Waste (717) 787-7381.
