Ecology received requests for $10 million for the available $5 million in grant funds. Sixty-five successful projects were awarded in a competitive process. The grant amounts range from $3,975 to $487,500. They begin January 1, 2009 and run until December 31, 2010. See a list of projects. Funds were awarded in five categories, with the following totals:
Of the $5 million in grant awarded, $630,000 is going to economically hard-hit communities to implement programs that provide alternatives to burning yard waste. Burning of yard waste was banned in 2008 and many of these local communities do not have the resources to provide economical alternatives. Most of this grant funding comes from the “Beyond Waste” budget proviso--$4 million the Legislature appropriated specifically to fund programs that support the state’s solid waste plan.
