Submission Date for Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants Under Act 101 Section 902
The Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the act of July 28, 1988 (P. L. 556, No. 101) as amended, known as the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. 4000.101--4000.1904). Municipalities eligible for recycling 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 municipality.
The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority in the order they are listed. Intergovernmental cooperative 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) semiannual 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 sections; and,
b) programs for the collection of recyclables and leaf or yard waste from residential, and/or commercial, institutional and municipal establishments.
2. Implementation of a curbside or drop-off recycling program.
3. Replacement equipment for the collection or processing of recyclables or leaf and yard wastes.
4. Leaf or yard waste collection and composting programs.
5. General recycling education projects.
6. Expansion of existing public sector recycling collection centers or materials processing facilities.
7. New public sector recycling collection centers or materials processing facilities.
Municipalities and counties are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed by the Department of Community and Economic Development under the Financial Distressed Communities Act, P. L. 246, No. 47 of 1987, are eligible 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 for procuring equipment or services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.
Eligible recycling program implementation costs include: purchasing or leasing vehicles used to collect recyclables, transport recyclables to processing facilities or markets, and vehicles used in the operation of a materials recovery facility; reusable containers for the collection or storage of recyclable materials; acquiring and/or renovating buildings for the processing or storage of recovered materials; equipment used to process or manufacture recyclable materials into usable products; improvements to land needed to operate a recycling facility or yard waste composting facility; and the costs associated with educating the public on recycling program requirements, including the development and publication of printed and audiovisual educational materials, advertisements, the development of Internet ''Recycling Home Pages,'' and school or special event programs.
Leaf and yard waste collection programs, and yard waste composting programs defined by the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Management Regulations, Chapter 271, are considered to be recycling programs.
Funding for equipment or facilities purchased for the recycling program used for recycling and other purposes will be prorated according to its recycling use. Funding for certain leaf and yard waste collection equipment may be limited according to its seasonal use. Funding for wood processing equipment will be approved only when the equipment is part of an approved yard waste composting facility operating under the Department's guidelines or in cases where the equipment is used cooperatively among two or more municipalities. A municipality must retain sole ownership of equipment or facilities funded by the grant.
Funding may be restricted in situations where equipment or services requested through a grant application may be available from the public or private sector within the county of the applicant. Public notices may be required before the grant application may be submitted depending upon the nature of the funding request. For example, before a municipality can submit an application for the funding of mechanical processing equipment, it must first publish notices in a newspaper of general circulation describing in detail the kinds of processing equipment that it proposes to purchase and the intended use of the equipment. The municipality must allow 30 days from the date of the latest notice 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.
It is strongly recommended that potential applicants contact the appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator listed to schedule a preapplication conference to discuss application requirements.
Grant applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. June 24, 1999. Applications received by the Department after that date will not be considered during the current round of solicitation. Applications must be on forms provided by the Department, with two copies submitted to the appropriate DEP Regional Office. All grant awards will be predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of Act 101, and the availability of monies in the Recycling Fund.
Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Carl Hursh, Chief, Recycling and Markets, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
