General Information

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers a noncompetitive grant program to assist local enforcement agencies (LEAs) with their solid waste facilities permit and inspection program. Pursuant to Public Resources Code, Section 43230, these grant awards are to be used solely for support of the solid waste facilities permit and inspection programs.

Eligibility

Per LEA grant regulation, applicants are limited to LEAs and regional LEAs that are certified by CalRecycle.

Funding

• Total funds available per fiscal year are approximately $1.5 million.
• The amount for which each LEA is eligible will be determined when all applications are processed. This figure will be provided to each grant applicant when it becomes available.
• The grant amount is established from a base grant award of $15,000 per jurisdiction plus additional grant funds based on population and the number of permitted, active solid waste facilities in each LEA jurisdiction.
• Each regional LEA shall receive a base grant multiplied by the number of jurisdictions for which the LEA is responsible, plus an additional amount based on the population of the jurisdictions served by the regional LEA and the number of active, permitted solid waste facilities located within those jurisdictions.
