Submission Date for Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants Under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101)
The Department of Environmental Protection hereby announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling program grant assistance under section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (35 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904).
Municipalities eligible for the 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 county or municipality.
This soliciation is not for projects to be considered under the public/private partnership grant program.
The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority in the order they are listed. Intergovernmental cooperative recycling projects within any category will receive higher priority.
1. Projects implemented by a municipality, mandated by Act 101 to have a curbside recycling program, that establish or maintain compliance with the recycling requirements of the Act including:
a) semi-annual public information and education programs required under Act 101 Section 1501(d) concerning recycling program features and requirements for the residential, commercial, institutional and municipal sectors; and,
b) programs for the collection of recyclables and leaf waste from residential, and/or commercial, institutional and municipal establishments.
2. Implementation of a curbside or drop-off recycling program by a nonmandated municipality.
3. Replacement equipment for the collection or processing of recyclables or leaf and yard wastes.
4. Leaf or yard waste collection and composting projects.
5. Expansion of existing public sector recycling collection centers or materials processing facilities.
6. General recycling education projects.
7. New public sector recycling collection centers or materials processing facilities.
Municipalities and counties are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act (53 P. S. §§ 11701.101--11701.501), are eligible to receive funding for an additional 10% of approved costs.
Eligible recycling program development costs include: recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; development of recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts or procuring equipment and services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.
Eligible recycling program implementation costs include: vehicles used to collect or transport recyclable materials to processing or storage facilities, or in the operation of a materials recovery facility, or in the transport of recyclable materials to market; reusable containers for household recyclable materials storage and collection; the cost of acquisition and/or renovation of buildings for the processing or storage of recyclable materials; equipment used for the processing of recyclable materials; and land improvements for a recycling facility. Yard waste composting programs as defined by the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Management Regulations, Chapter 75, will be considered as recycling programs.
Before a municipality can submit an application to the Department for the funding of mechanical processing equipment, it must first publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation describing in detail the kinds of processing equipment that it proposes to purchase and the intended use of the equipment. The municipality must allow 30 days for responses from interested individuals. 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.
Applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. November 21, 1996. 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 DEP Regional Office. All grant awards will be 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.
Those municipalities wishing to file an application are invited to contact the appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator listed as follows to obtain a grant application.
