| Abstract | Long Description |
The Model Toxics Control Act was established through a referendum by a vote of the public. The Act generates funds through a tax on hazardous substances sold in the state. Of that tax, 53% is deposited into the Local Toxics Control Account (LTCA). The Department of Ecology is directed by the Act to provide grants or loans to local government from funds in the LTCA for the following purposes in this priority order: -Cleanup of hazardous waste sites; -Implementation of local hazardous waste plans and programs; and -Implementation of local solid waste plans and programs. The Department has designated 60% of the funds to go to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites, leaving 40% for the other two priorities. The 40% provides the funding for Coordinated Prevention Grants (CPG). In a normal two-year appropriation cycle, this results in approximately $16,000,000 being allocated to CPG. This report details expenditures for the 1998-99 Grant Cycle. |
