| Short Description |
Ecology staff members wrote this booklet for citizen groups and not-for-profit public interest organizations interested in applying for PPG. These guidelines define the PPG program called for in the Model Toxics Control Act (RCW 70.105D.070(5)). They explain the criteria Ecology uses to evaluate and award PPG, and explain how to complete the application. They will also help you plan and refine your environmental education or outreach projects. (Also see abstract below) | |

| Abstract | Long Description |
Ecology′s Goals for the 2007 PPG Program: • Increase the public′s involvement on the cleanup and restoration of contaminated sites. • Fund environmental education projects that emphasize eliminating waste and preventing pollution. • Carry out projects that promote state solid waste or hazardous waste management priorities. With added funding available during this grant period, Ecology′s goal is to increase public involvement on projects related to: • Protecting Puget Sound. Ecology has set aside a portion of the available funding solely for projects that help reach the goal of a healthy, sustainable Puget Sound. (To learn more about the Puget Sound Initiative and other efforts to protect the Sound, visit http://www.ecy.wa.gov/puget_sound/index.html.) • Commencement Bay, Duwamish River and Spokane River Cleanups. • Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxins (PBTs) (mercury, lead, some flame retardants). • Helping put into action the state′s newly revised Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Plan (known as the Beyond Waste Plan) by: - Raising awareness and use of green building materials, methods, and services. - Reducing exposures to toxic materials (such as paints and pesticides) in our homes and environment. - Increasing the recovery of wood and plant materials (for compost or other products). - Researching and promoting environmentally preferable products or services (those that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose). - Developing take-back services for used products. When making award decisions, Ecology seeks to create a geographic balance in the distribution of grant funds to communities across the state. |
