<br />administration of a manifesting system; and educate the public on illegal dumping laws <br />and regulations. Funding limitations specific to this category are set forth in this Section. <br /> <br />i. Funds may not be expended to any law enforcement agency regulated by Chapter <br />1701, Texas Occupations Code, unless: (a) the law enforcement agency is in <br />compliance with all rules on Law Enforcement Standards and Education; or (b) the <br />Texas Commission on Law Enforcement certifies that the requesting agency is in <br />the process of achieving compliance with such rules. <br />ii. When funding is to be provided for salaries of local enforcement officers, the funds <br />recipient must certify that at least one of the officers has attended or will attend <br />Enforcement Training or equivalent training. <br />iii. Local enforcement vehicles and related enforcement equipment purchased entirely <br />with funds provided under this Contract may only be used for activities to enforce <br />laws and regulations pertaining to littering and illegal dumping, and may not, to the <br />extent practicable, be used for other code enforcement or law enforcement <br />activities. Vehicles and equipment that are only partially funded must be dedicated <br />for use in local enforcement activities for a percentage of time equal to the <br />proportion of the purchase expense funded. <br />iv. Entities receiving funds for a local enforcement officer, enforcement vehicles, <br />and/or related equipment for use by an enforcement officer, must investigate major <br />illegal dumping problems, on both public and private property, in addition to <br />investigating general litter problems on public property. <br />v. Entities receiving funds to conduct a local enforcement program must cooperate <br />ting illegal <br />dumping problems. Lack of cooperation with the TCEQ staff may constitute a <br />reason to withhold future funding to that entity for local enforcement activities. <br />vi. Funds may not be used for investigation and enforcement activities related to the <br />illegal dumping of industrial and/or hazardous waste. Instances where industrial or <br />hazardous waste is discovered at a site do not preclude the investigation of that <br />site, so long as the intent and focus of the investigation and enforcement activities <br />are on the illegal dumping of municipal solid waste. <br />vii. Funds may not be used to purchase ammunition, firearms, uniforms, or personal <br />armor. <br /> <br />2. Source Reduction and Recycling. <br /> This category includes projects which provide a direct <br />and measurable effect on reducing the amount of municipal solid waste going into <br />landfills, by diverting various materials from the municipal solid waste stream for reuse or <br />recycling, or by reducing waste generation at the source. Activities funded under this <br />category may include: diversion from the waste stream and/or collection, processing for <br />transport, and transportation of materials for reuse and/or recycling; implementation of <br />efficiency improvements in order to increase source reduction and recycling, to include <br />full-cost accounting systems and cost-based rate structures, establishment of a solid waste <br />services enterprise fund, and mechanisms to track and assess the level of recycling activity <br />in the community on a regular basis; and educational and promotional activities to increase <br />CAPCOG FY2016 <br /> <br /> <br />ЋЌ <br />Solid Waste Interlocal Contract <br /> <br /> <br />
