Landfill Closure Loan Program Funds

Date: September 19, 2005

To: All Local Enforcement Agencies

The CIWMB's Landfill Closure Loan Program (LCLP) has approximately $640,000 available in competitive, interest-free loans for the 2005/2006 funding cycle. Loans will be awarded to operators of unlined, older-technology landfills who desire to close early to avoid or mitigate potential environmental problems caused or threatened by continued operation of the site. Maximum loan amounts may not exceed $500,000 per landfill project and loans must be repaid over a period not to exceed ten (10) years. LCLP loans are awarded on a competitive basis and applicants interested in funds must submit an application to the CIWMB no later than Wednesday, February 1, 2006. Note: CIWMB staff will send a mailer to owners and operators on this subject later this week.

The LCLP 2005/2006 funding cycle application package with detailed instructions can be downloaded from the LCLP website. For more information on the program, please contact Bridget D. Brown at (916) 341-6325.
