Final Submission Date for Municipal Recycling Program Performance Grant Applications Under Section 904 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101)
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) announces a request for Recycling Performance Grant applications from municipalities with recycling programs under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (act) (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904). Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities.
Recycling Performance Grants will be awarded to municipalities based upon the weight of source separated recyclable materials identified in section 1501(c)(1)(i) of the act recovered by municipal recycling programs, and the population of the municipality. Municipalities awarded grants will receive a base award of $5 for each ton of eligible recyclable materials marketed, and $1 per ton for each percentage of waste diverted from disposal. The weight of eligible materials allowable from nonresidential (commercial and institutional) sources will be limited to no more than the weight of eligible materials from residential sources. The Department will not award grants calculated to be less than $10.
Eligible materials include: clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, 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 recycled or marketed on or after January 1, 1997, to and including December 31, 1997. Grant funds will not be awarded for residues, materials not listed as eligible or any materials which cannot be documented as being recycled into a new product or use.
Documentation to support all claims that eligible recyclable materials were generated within the municipality and recycled or marketed must be retained at the offices of the municipal applicant for 4 years. The supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the application.
Acceptable Supporting Documentation. Weight slips or receipts verifying that the materials were recycled or marketed are required as supporting documentation for the grant application. The documentation must be on the letterhead of the hauler or market or on forms provided by the hauler or market; must bear a signature of an authorized representative verifying that the materials were received; and must identify the type and weight of the materials received. Estimates of weight will not be accepted except in cases: 1) where the material is packaged in uniform bales and the average weight of a bale can be demonstrated; or, 2) when multiple generators contribute to a known quantity of marketed material and the hauler or market estimates the quantities allocatable to any individual establishment, or lists each establishment, and verifies the estimate with his/her signature.
Supporting documentation must be available for review by representatives of the Department, the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Treasurer or their agents. Although the supporting documentation is not required to be submitted with the grant application, any documentation provided must conform to the above requirements or the materials claimed will not be credited toward the grant.
Applications must be on the forms provided by the Department for materials recycled in calendar year 1997. The Department will mail a calendar year 1997 grant application form to all municipalities on record with recycling programs and all previous Recycling Performance Grant applicants. The deadline for submission of grant applications is 3 p.m. September 30, 1998. Applications received by the Department after that date will be returned. All grant awards are predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of the act, 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, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
