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 (Statutes of 2000, Chap 838). This specific
grant provides funding to solid waste Local Enforcement Agencies and city and
county agencies with regulatory authority within the city/county government for
waste tire enforcement activities.
Funding
It is anticipated that $2 million will be available for this grant program. Award
of the FY 2001/2002 Waste Tire Enforcement Grants is contingent upon approval
under the State Budget Act and subject to the availability of funds appropriated
for the grant. Eligible applicants may request up to $200,000. The Board
reserves the right to fund individual phases of selected proposals, and may
therefore fund an amount less than $200,000. The CIWMB will award grants on a
competitive basis.
Purpose
Under this program it will be the responsibility of the Grantee to investigate
waste tire facilities and survey tire dealers and auto dismantlers to ensure
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Inspections are followed by
appropriate compliance actions to ensure that operators are following all tire
facility regulations, including storage standards and use of registered tire
haulers.
Applicant Eligibility
Local Enforcement Agencies and California cities, counties, special districts,
joint powers agencies, or political subdivisions thereof, with regulatory
authority for waste tire enforcement activities, may apply. Jurisdictions and
their subdivisions may submit one application only.
