The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) receives an annual
appropriation from the California Tire Recycling Management Fund to administer provisions
of the Tire Recycling Act (Public Resources Code Section 42860 et seq.). This specific
grant provides funding to solid waste Local Enforcement Agencies and cities and counties
with regulatory authority within the city/county government for waste tire enforcement
activities. The CIWMB will award the grants on a competitive basis and reserves the rights
to reallocate the distribution of grant monies according to prioritized needs.
Funding
The CIWMB has allocated $500,000 for the Waste Tire Enforcement Grant Program for Fiscal
Year (FY) 1999/2000. If additional funds become available, the CIWMB may choose to
increase the program budget. Up to $100,000 per applicant will be available for
inspection/compliance and surveillance activities, and up to $45,000 per applicant will be
available for surveillance activities only. The grant term is from June 30, 2000 through
April 1, 2002.
Purpose
Under this program it will be the responsibility of the Grantee to conduct waste tire
facility (WTF) inspections of those facilities that accept or store more than 500 waste
tires at one location and/or conduct WTF surveys. The intent of this program is to (1)
implement an effective inspection and compliance program at the local level which will
provide guidance to facility operators, and if necessary, take the initial enforcement
actions to remediate threats to the public health, safety and the environment; (2) survey
tire dealers and auto dismantlers for regulatory compliance and waste tire tracking
information; and (3) develop an extensive list of those WTFs which fall under CIWMB
jurisdiction.
Applicant Eligibility
Local Enforcement Agencies and cities and counties with regulatory authority within the
city/county government and who have the need and the desire to participate will determine
program eligibility. Applicants with waste tire facilities in their jurisdiction that
accept or store more than 500 waste tires at one location are eligible for
inspection/compliance activities. Applicants with tire dealers and/or dismantlers who
accept or store waste tires on site in their jurisdiction are eligible for surveillance
activities.
