Submission Date for Public-Private Partnership Recycling Grants Under Act 101 Section 902; The Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988

   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) 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 (53 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 solicitation is for projects considered to be public-private partnerships where municipalities may sponsor a recycling grant application on behalf of a private sector partner for projects benefiting both entities. Priority will be given to projects that expand processing or manufacturing capacity within Pennsylvania for source separated recyclable materials including aluminum, glass, plastic and steel containers, corrugated cardboard, high-grade office papers, magazines, newspapers and other marketable grades of paper. 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. The maximum funding available is $300,000 per project.

   Municipalities and counties are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling project costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed by the Department of Community Affairs 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 project development costs include: recycling project 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 project 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 a recycling grant 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 notice, in the form of a display advertisement, must appear at least once weekly for 2 consecutive weeks. 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.

   The Public-Private Partnership Recycling Grant Program has a two-step application process. The first step involves the submission of a Letter of Intent to apply for grant funding. The Letter of Intent will identify the municipal sponsor, the private partner and the recyclable materials involved; summarize the project, its financing and the partnership arrangement; and will require the signature of appropriate representatives of the municipal sponsor and the private partner. The Departments of Commerce and Environmental Protection will jointly review each letter of intent to assess the economic and environmental benefits of the project. Projects receiving a favorable review will be invited to submit a full Public-Private Partnership Recycling Grant Application as the second step of the application process.

   Three copies of the letter of intent must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m. August 29, 1996. Applications received by DEP after that date will not be considered during the current round of solicitation. Applications must be on forms provided by the Department, with three copies submitted to the appropriate DEP Regional Office serving the county where the project will be located.

   Those municipalities wishing to file an application are invited to contact the appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator listed below to obtain a grant application. Pre-application conferences are recommended. Applicants should also contact the County Recycling Coordinator serving their county for consultation and assistance in completing the application forms. Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Carl Hursh, Chief, Recycling and Markets, DEP Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.
