SPECIAL NOTICES
Submission Date for Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants under Section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of applications to municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act) (53 P. S. § 4000.902). 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.
Applicants must be in compliance with the provisions of the Act and the implementing regulations in order to be eligible to receive grant funding. At a minimum, those communities mandated to recycle under the Act must have enacted an ordinance which includes, but is not limited to, the following:
a. A requirement for the separation of at least three materials from municipal solid waste (MSW) by residents of homes and apartments;
b. A requirement for the separation of leaf waste (as defined by the Act) from MSW by residents of homes and apartments;
c. A requirement for the separation of at least high-grade office paper, corrugated paper, aluminum and leaf waste from MSW by commercial, municipal and institutional establishments;
d. A curbside collection system for recyclable materials operating at least once per month;
e. Provisions to ensure compliance with the ordinance;
f. Provisions for the recycling of collected materials; and
g. A prohibition on burning recyclable materials, including leaf waste as defined by the Act, which are collected under the recycling program.
In addition, mandated municipalities must conduct a recycling education program which notifies all persons occupying every residential, commercial, municipal and institutional establishment within its borders of the requirements of the ordinance. This must be conducted at least once every 6 months.
For communities not mandated to recycle, a no-burning ordinance must be in place covering those materials they are targeting for collection (including leaf waste as defined by the Act). All applicants must be in compliance concerning the annual reporting of materials recycled and any previous grant contract provisions. County applicants should be in compliance with planning and other county-related provisions of the Act.
Municipalities 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 are eligible for 100% of approved costs. No application requesting more than $2 million in grant funding will be accepted.
The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority:
1. Projects bringing communities newly mandated to recycle as determined by the 2000 Federal census into compliance with the Act;
2. Projects that, when implemented, will increase the amount of recyclable material recovered from any previous year;
3. Projects in which the level of recycling education exceeds the requirements of section 1501(d) of the Act for all persons occupying residential, commercial, institutional and municipal premises;
4. Projects implemented by a municipality in which the affected community is mandated to participate; and,
5. Intergovernmental cooperative projects.
Projects eligible for grant funding are those which divert the following recyclable materials from municipal solid waste: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, plastics, source separated food scraps and leaf and yard wastes.
Eligible recycling program development costs include: recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; developing 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 authorized under 25 Pa. Code § 103(h); and, the costs associated with educating the public on recycling program requirements, including the development and publication of printed and audio-visual educational materials, advertisements, the development of Internet ''Recycling Home Pages'' and school or special event programs. Composting projects and programs will be considered to be recycling projects or programs accordingly. A municipality must retain sole ownership of equipment or facilities funded by the grant.
Funding for equipment or facilities purchased for the recycling program used for recycling and other purposes will be pro-rated 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 chippers will be approved only when the equipment is part of an approved yard waste composting facility operating under the Department's guidelines and where the material is collected curbside from residents. Funding of street sweepers for the purpose of leaf collection will not be considered.
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. 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.
Potential applicants must contact the appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator to schedule a preapplication conference to discuss application requirements and program particulars. Applications will be returned to municipalities which fail to schedule preapplication conferences. Grant application forms are available from Department Regional offices.
Grant applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. October 4, 2001. 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 Department Regional Office and one copy submitted to the appropriate County Recycling Coordinator. All grant awards will be predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of the Act and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.
Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Todd Pejack, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization of Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
