Waste Tire Enforcement Grants

Notice of Funding Availability, FY 2003-2004

The California Integrated Waste Management Board receives an annual appropriation from the California Tire Recycling Management Fund to administer the Tire Recycling Act (Statutes of 2000, Chapter 838) and related legislation. This specific grant provides funding to solid waste Local Enforcement Agencies and city and county agencies in California for waste tire enforcement activities.

Funding

Six million dollars ($6,000,000) is available for this grant program. Eligible applicants, including regional applicants, may request up to a total of three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000). Award of the fiscal year 2003-2004 Waste Tire Enforcement Grant is contingent upon and subject to the availability of funds. The Board reserves the right to fund individual phases of selected proposals, and may therefore, fund an amount less than requested. The Board will award grants on a non-competitive basis. Applicants meeting the eligibility requirements and willing to participate in the program will be considered for funding.

Applicant Eligibility

Local Enforcement Agencies and California cities, counties, special districts, joint powers agencies, or political subdivisions, thereof, with experience in the enforcement of laws and regulations and the protection of public health and safety and the environment may apply for a grant. Cities or counties may submit a regional application with authorization from other cities and/or counties. A regional lead jurisdiction must be designated for regional programs to act on behalf of all participating jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction may submit only one grant application. Therefore, if a jurisdiction submits an application as part of a regional program, it can not apply individually.

Program Eligibility

Successful applicants will investigate illegal tire disposal activities, perform waste tire facilities inspections, and survey tire dealers, auto dismantlers, tire haulers, and other points of waste tire generation to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including the new manifest system. Inspections are followed up with appropriate compliance actions to ensure that operators are following all tire facility regulations, including storage standards, use of registered tire haulers, and manifest requirements.

Application Deadline

Applications must exhibit a dated commercial carrier tracking number (e.g., UPS, FedEX, etc.) or be postmarked by Friday January 23, 2004. Hand delivered, faxed, or e-mailed applications will not be accepted. Late applications will be returned to the applicant and not be considered for grant funding. Applicants are encouraged to apply early. New applicants will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis based on the date the application is postmarked. Those jurisdictions which applied for and did not receive a grant due to lack of funds will be given priority over new applicants in the next cycle of grants.
