SPECIAL NOTICES
Application Period for Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant Applications under Act 101, Section 904 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988; Calendar Year 2013 The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling performance grant assistance for recycling programs pursuant to the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101, P. L. 556, Section 904. Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships, home rule municipalities, their authorities, councils of governments, consortiums, or similar entities established by two or more municipalities under 53 PA.C.S. Ch. 23 Subch. A (relating to intergovernmental cooperation). This application period is for eligible materials recycled and marketed in calendar year 2013.
Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant funds will be awarded to municipalities based upon the weight of source-separated recyclable materials identified in § 1501(c)(1)(i) of Act 101 recovered by municipal recycling programs, and the population of the municipality as determined by the most recent decennial census. Calendar year 2013 Recycling Performance Grants will be calculated utilizing the formula established for the past two grant years.
Applicants who have failed to comply with the conditions set forth in previously awarded grants, the recycling program performance requirements contained in Act 140 of 2006, the grant requirements of Act 101, or the regulations of Act 101 may not be awarded funds under this grant program. Applicants must ensure that they are in compliance with § 272.314(b)(2) relating to the submittal of the annual recycling report.
Eligible materials include post-consumer: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum cans, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, and plastics. Grants will be awarded only for properly documented, eligible materials that were actually marketed on or after Jan. 1, 2013, to and including Dec. 31, 2013. Applicants should only claim those tonnages for which they have documentation at the time they complete their application. Any residues, materials not listed as eligible, or any materials that cannot be documented as being generated within the municipality or marketed or recycled into new products or uses are not eligible for consideration toward the grant. In particular, recovered glass that is being stockpiled or used as daily cover at a landfill will not be considered as recycled. Applicants must be able to document the amount of residue attributable to their recycling program.
Documentation to support all claims that eligible recyclable materials were generated within the municipality and marketed must be made available for auditing by the Department of Environmental Protection, the Office of the Auditor General, the Office of the Treasurer, or agents of those offices for four (4) years. DEP will not require applicants to retain hauler customer lists; however, the lists may be required to be examined in the event of an audit. It will be the applicant's responsibility to arrange for hauler customer lists to be provided, or for haulers to be present with their customer lists, during a grant audit. Supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the application. Any tonnages not properly documented at the time of an audit will not be credited towards the applicant's Performance Grant award. No additional/supplemental documentation will be accepted after the audit is completed. Failure to submit a complete and accurate application may result in a denial of the application.
Grant applications must be on forms provided by DEP for calendar year 2013. Grant applications must be delivered by 4 p.m., Sep. 30, 2014, or postmarked on or before this date. Applications received by the DEP after the deadline will be returned to the applicant. All grant awards are 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.
Applicants who filed a Performance Grant application for calendar year 2012 will be mailed a current application by DEP as soon as it is available.

Mifflin-Juniata Counties Regional Municipal Waste Management Plan; Public Review & Comment Period and Public Meeting Notices Mifflin and Juniata Counties, Pennsylvania (the Counties), in coordination with the members of the Solid Waste Advisory Committees (SWACs) for each county and with assistance of a consultant, Barton & Loguidice, have prepared a Draft Regional Municipal Waste Management Plan (Regional Plan). The Regional Plan projects waste disposal needs, recyclable quantities, and management techniques to handle those materials for the next ten years. The Regional Plan requires that all municipal wastes generated in Mifflin County and Juniata County be disposed of at Designated Processing/ Disposal Facilities identified in the Regional Plan. The Counties have secured long-term disposal capacity commitments by entering contracts with a total of eleven (11) Designated Facilities in the area, as listed in Chapter 7 of the Regional Plan. These contracts become effective in 2015.
The primary public facility that services the waste and recycling needs of the Counties is the Mifflin County Solid Waste Authority's (Authority's) Transfer Station and Recycling Depot (Transfer Facility), located in Derry Township near Lewistown. The Authority has entered a long-term contract with the Clinton County Solid Waste Authority for the hauling and disposal of wastes from the Authority's Transfer Facility at the Wayne Township Landfill in McElhattan, PA beginning in 2015. The Authority also services over 50 recycling drop-off containers throughout Mifflin County, and accepts self-haul recycling at the Transfer Facility from the Counties. The Regional Plan recognizes the desire to sustain and expand recycling opportunities in the Counties.
The Regional Plan acknowledges the Authority as a key service provider of integrated waste and recycling services and programs for the Counties' residents and businesses. Further, the Regional Plan identifies the benefits to the Counties of a sustained and viable Authority operation throughout the 10-year planning period. The Authority uses a combination of volume discount waste delivery contracts, a competitively bid hauling/ disposal contract, internal fiscal controls, and multiple funding sources to secure the necessary tonnages and revenues to remain viable and sustainable. The Authority intends to continue to use these measures throughout the planning period. The Regional Plan contains contingent waste assurance ordinances and mechanisms that would be triggered only if the current contracting and waste delivery assurance techniques become ineffective in the future.
Copies of the Regional Plan will be available for inspection and review during normal business hours at 1) the Juniata County Planning Office, Juniata County Courthouse in Mifflintown; 2) the Mifflin County Planning Office, Mifflin County Courthouse in Lewistown, and; 3) the Mifflin County Solid Waste Authority Office, at the entrance of 87 Landfill Road, Lewistown (in Derry Township, on Route 522). The Plan can also be accessed, downloaded and reviewed electronically on the Barton & Loguidice project website at: www.bartonandloguidice.com/mifflin-juniata-swplan.htm.
