i) Projects under this category must be coordinated with the TCEQ to ensure that all applicable regulations and guidelines are followed. ii) Funds provided under this Agreement may not be used for programs and activities related to the collection and management of commercial or industrial hazardous wastes. iii) Funds provided under this Agreement may not be used for programs and activities solely related to the management of scrap tires, used oil, oil filters, antifreeze, lead-acid batteries, or other special wastes excluded from disposal in municipal solid waste landfills. However, collection of these materials may be included as part of a comprehensive Household Hazardous Waste collection and management program, so long as that is not the sole intent of the program. 5. Educational and Training Projects. Educational components are encouraged under the other categories in order to better ensure public participation in projects; those educational components should be funded as part of those projects and not separately under this category. This category may be used for "stand-alone" educational projects dealing with a variety of solid waste management topics. This category may include funding for information-exchange activities, subject to the other limitations on travel expenses. Funding limitations specific to this category are set forth in this Section. i) Programs and projects funded under this category shall be primarily related to issues involved in the management of municipal solid waste. Education or training events that cover a broader range of environmental issues may be funded on a partial basis appropriate to the extent to which municipal solid waste issues are covered. 6. Litter and Illegal Dumping Cleanup and Community Collection Events. Litter and illegal dumping cleanup may include both ongoing and periodic activities to clean up litter and illegal dumping of MSW, excluding cleanup of scrap tire dumping sites. i) Reuse or recycling options should be considered for managing the materials collected through these efforts, to the extent feasible. ii) Periodic community collection events, to provide for collection of residential waste materials for which there is not a readily available collection alternative, may also be funded. Collection events may be held no more frequently than four times per year, and must only be intended to provide residents an opportunity to dispose of hard-to-collect materials, such as large and bulky items that are not picked up under the regular collection system. iii) All materials cleaned up using grant funds must be properly disposed of or otherwise properly managed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. 7. Local Solid Waste Management Plans. This category includes projects to develop and/or amend local solid waste management plans by local governments. All local solid waste management plans funded under this program must be consistent with CAPCOG's regional solid waste management plan, and prepared in accordance with 30 TAC Subchapter O, Chapter 330, TCEQ Regulations, and the Content and Format CAPCOG FY2010 Solid Waste Interlocal Contract 27
