Availability of Grants for the Collection of Waste Tires for Counties, Local Municipalities and Nonprofit Organizations for Fiscal Year 2002-2003

[33 Pa.B. 89]

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces the availability of $250,000 of grant funding through Act 111 of 2002, which amended the Waste Tire Recycling and Small Business and Household Pollution Prevention Program Act of 1996 (Act 190) for fiscal year 2002-2003 for the operation of waste tirecollection programs in this Commonwealth. The grants are limited to counties, local municipalities and nonprofit organizations that sponsor waste tire collection programs.

   Only Department-approved sponsors are eligible to receive reimbursement for eligible cost associated with a tire collection program. To be considered for a grant, a sponsor: (1) must not have contributed, in any manner, to the creation of a noncompliant waste tire pile; (2) must complete a Waste Tire Collection Application for Registration (application) and receive approval from the Department to conduct the collection; (3) conduct a waste tire collection program within the guidelines established by the application instructions; and (4) submit an application detailing eligible collection, transportation, management and education costs.

   Grant funds are intended for activities directly related to the collection of waste tires, including collection, transportation and management costs as well as contractor mobilization and demobilization fees and associated educational program and advertising costs. Grants may not be used for the purchase of equipment or the remediation of waste tire piles. Grant recipients shall receive reimbursement only for those activities approved by the Department. No more than 12 tires per participant may be brought to a collection.

   Applicants must complete and submit an application. The application contains the materials and instructions necessary for registering a waste tire collection program. Copies of these documents are available by contacting the Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, (717) 787-7382 or may be obtained electronically from the Department's website: http://www.dep.state.pa.us. Programs will be accepted based on the time and date a complete and approvable registration is received by the Department. The completed application shall be sent to Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, 14th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101-2301, thyatt@state.pa.us. Applications that are incomplete will not be approved.

   Maximum reimbursement to a sponsor will be limited by the following formula: 2000 census population × .04 × $2 or $25,000, whichever is less.

   Applications must be submitted no later than 90 days after the date of collection. For collections held between April 15, 2003, and June 30, 2003, grant requests must be submitted prior to July 15, 2003.

   Persons who have questions about this grant program should contact the Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, (717) 787-7382.
