Question: Can grant funds be requested to demolish existing HHW facilities,
to build new permanent or portable HHW facilities?
Answer: The intent of the grant program is to create infrastructure and to
meet jurisdictions need for HHW collection. However, if demolition is
necessary before proceeding with construction, be sure to thoroughly
substantiate why you cannot complete this part of the process with your own
funds. A request for demolition funding will make your application less
competitive against other applicants who are requesting funding to construct
or expand a facility.
Question: How do I find out what other grant awards were recommended and
for what type of programs?
Answer: You can find the list of the last HD12 cycle HHW grants awarded in
the September 2003 Agenda Item, Item #16, Attachment 2.
Older grant award lists can be found
on the Board's Grants site. Note that the priority criteria differ from cycle
to cycle and thus may not be the best indicator of potential projects likely
to be funded in the 13th cycle.
Question: What kind of information should be included in the application
for a city/county to establish a permanent HHW facility on private property?
Answer: As stated in the application, the applicant must provide proof of a
long term commitment between the city/county and the private entity to
maintain the HHW facility for public use. It must be clear who will operate
the facility and whether or not the private entity is going to eventually take
it over.
