   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces a request for applications from municipalities for recycling performance grant assistance for recycling programs under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101) (53 P. S. § 904). Municipalities include counties, cities, boroughs, incorporated towns, townships and home rule municipalities. This application period is for eligible materials recycled and marketed in calendar year 1996.

   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. Municipalities awarded grants will receive a base award of $5 for each approved ton of eligible recyclable materials marketed, and a bonus award of $1 per approved ton for each percentage of municipal waste calculated by DEP to be 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 approved eligible materials from residential sources. The Department will not award grants calculated to be less than $10.

   Eligible materials include postconsumer:  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 actually marketed on or after January 1, 1996, to and including December 31, 1996. Grant funds will not be awarded for residues, materials not listed as eligible including, but not limited to, leaf and yard wastes, 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 marketed must be retained at the offices of the municipal applicant for 4 years from the end date of the year the application covers. 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 include:  1)  the date the materials were recycled/marketed; and, 2)  the type of material recycled/marketed; and 3)  the name of the municipality where the material was generated; and, 4)  the weight, stated in pounds or tons, of the material recycled/marketed. Documentation supporting materials source separated from municipal waste by commercial/institutional establishments and recycled/marketed must bear the name of the establishment and the municipality where the establishment is located. This information must be contained on one of the following:  1)  a weight/market receipt; or, 2)  a report submitted by the hauler or market vendor on its company letterhead; or, 3)  a signed report submitted by the hauler or market vendor, which clearly indicates the name of the company who collected the material or the name of the market vendor, as well as the name, title and signature of the company official who completed the report. Reports may be submitted on annual, monthly, weekly or other time period format. All information must be legible.

   Estimates of weight will not be accepted except in cases where:  1)  the material is packaged in uniform bales and the average weight of a bale can be demonstrated and supported by weight receipts, and a record of the number of bales was provided by the market vendors; or when, 2)  multiple generators contribute to a known quantity of marketed material, and the hauler or market estimates the quantities attributable to any individual establishment or municipality, and verifies the estimate with a signature.

   Supporting documentation must be available for review by representatives of the Department of Environmental Protection, the Office of the Attorney General and the Office of the Treasurer. 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 award.
