Application Announcement for the 2006 Compost Infrastructure Development Grant Program

[36 Pa.B. 770]

   Applications for the 2006 Compost Infrastructure Development Grant Program (program) are now available from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). Under the program, qualified existing and operating for-profit business entities and nonprofit organizations in this Commonwealth will be awarded grants to increase the quantity of yard and/or food wastes collected and processed in this Commonwealth. The goal of this program is to increase the quantity of organic materials collected and composted to further increase the Commonwealth's recycling rate. Additional consideration will be given to applications that are developed in consultation with the Pennsylvania Recycling Markets Center, (717) 948-6660, www.parmc.org. The Department will accept applications for the Program until 4 p.m. on May 4, 2006.

   The municipal waste stream consists of over 30% organic materials that could be recycled and diverted from the waste stream and managed by composting. These organic waste streams, such as yard and food wastes, can become a resource to compost facilities that use these materials as feedstocks. Composting of organic wastes helps to lessen the burden on landfill capacity and creates a beneficial soil conditioner that can be marketed.

   Applications for the 2006 program may be obtained by contacting Laura Chambers, Bureau of Waste Management, lchambers@state.pa.us, (717) 783-2388. Applications are also available electronically on the Department's website: www.depweb.state.pa.us (DEP Keywords: Compost, Composting).
