Recycling Program Development and Implementation Grants Under the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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 (act) (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904). Municipalities eligible for recycling 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 municipality.

   The following categories of recycling projects will be given funding priority:

   1.  Projects that, when implemented, will increase the amount of recyclable material recovered from the previous year;

   2.  Projects in which the level of recycling education exceeds the requirements of the act, section 1501(d) for all persons occupying residential, commercial, institutional and municipal premises;

   3.  Projects implemented by a municipality in which the affected community is mandated to participate; and,

   4.  Intergovernmental cooperative projects.

   Municipalities are eligible for 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed by the Department of Community and Economic Development under the Municipalities Financial Recovery Act (53 P. S. §§ 11701.101--11701.501) are eligible for an additional 10% of approved cost. No application requesting more than $2 million in grant funding will be accepted.

   The following recyclable materials diverted from the municipal solid waste will be considered as eligible for grant funding:  clear glass, colored glass, aluminum, steel and bimetallic cans, high-grade office paper, newsprint, corrugated paper, other marketable grades of paper, plastics, source separated food scraps, and leaf and yard wastes.

   Eligible recycling program development costs include:  recycling program design costs; recycling market investigations; development of recycling market commitments; development of recycling program ordinances; developing of recycling public education programs; and the costs of developing contracts for procuring equipment or services necessary for the operation of the recycling program.

   Eligible recycling program implementation costs include:  purchasing or leasing vehicles used to collect recyclables, transport recyclables to processing facilities or markets, and vehicles used in the operation of a materials recovery facility; reusable containers for the collection or storage of recyclable materials; acquiring and/or renovating buildings for the processing or storage of recovered materials; equipment used to process or manufacture recyclable materials into usable products; improvements to land needed to operate a recycling facility or yard waste composting facility; and, the costs associated with educating the public on recycling program requirements, including the development and publication of printed and audio-visual educational materials, advertisements, the development of Internet ''Recycling Home Pages,'' and school or special event programs. Composting projects and programs will be considered to be recycling projects or programs accordingly. A municipality must retain sole ownership of equipment or facilities funded by the grant.

   Funding for equipment or facilities purchased for the recycling program used for recycling and other purposes will be prorated according to its recycling use. Funding for certain leaf and yard waste collection equipment may be limited according to its seasonal use. Funding for wood processing equipment will be approved only when the equipment is part of an approved yard waste composting facility operating under the Department's guidelines or in cases where the equipment is used cooperatively among two or more municipalities. Funding of street sweepers for the purpose of leaf collection will not be considered.

   Funding may be restricted in situations where equipment or services requested through a grant application may be available from the public or private sector within the county of the applicant. Public notices may be required before the grant application may be submitted depending upon the nature of the funding request. 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.

   It is required that potential applicants contact the following appropriate DEP Regional Planning and Recycling Coordinator listed to schedule a pre-application conference to discuss application requirements and program particulars. Applications will be returned to municipalities who fail to schedule pre-application conferences. Grant application forms are available from DEP Regional and Central offices.

   Grant applications must be received or postmarked by 3 p.m., October 6, 2000. 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 the act, and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.

   Inquiries concerning this notice should be directed to Todd Pejack, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization of Planning, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.

Certified Emission Reduction Credits in Pennsylvania's ERC Registry

   Emission reduction credits (ERC) are surplus, permanent, quantified and Federally enforceable emission reductions used to offset emission increases of oxides of nitrogen (NO_x), volatile organic compounds (VOC) and the following criteria pollutants:  carbon monoxide (CO), lead (Pb), oxides of sulfur (SO_x), particulate matter (PM), PM-10 and PM-10 precursors.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) maintains an ERC registry in accordance with the requirements of 25 Pa. Code § 127.209. The ERC registry system provides for the tracking of the creation, transfer and use of ERCs. Prior to registration of the credits, ERC Registry Applications are reviewed and approved by the Department to confirm that the ERCs meet the requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. Registration of the credits in the ERC registry system constitutes certification that the ERCs satisfy applicable requirements and that the credits are available for use. The following registered, and certified ERCs in the ERC Registry are currently available for use as follows:  (1)  To satisfy new source review (NSR) emission offset ratio requirements; (2)  To ''net-out'' of NSR at ERC-generating facilities; (3)  To sell or trade the ERCs for use as emission offsets at new or modified facilities.

   The following certified ERCs shown, expressed in tons per year (tpy), satisfy the applicable ERC requirements contained in 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.206--127.208. ERCs created from the curtailment or shutdown of a source or facility expire for use as offsets 10 years after the emission reduction occurs. ERCs generated by the overcontrol of emissions by an existing facility do not expire for use as offsets. However, credits in the registry which are not used in a plan approval will be discounted if new air quality requirements are adopted by the Department or United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

   For additional information concerning this listing of certified ERCs, contact Virendra Trivedi, Bureau of Air Quality, Division of Permits, Department of Environmental Protection, 12th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8468, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8468, (717) 787-4325.
