Other general and special law districts created in accordance with state law, and with the authority and responsibility for water quality protection or municipal solid waste management, to include river authorities. 5. Councils of Governments. (b). Implementation Project Categories. CAPCO shall ensure that all implementation projects funded under this Agreement fit within the categories set forth in this Section. The category- specific funding limitations outlined for each category shall apply to all uses of funds under implementation projects conducted for that category. 1. Local Enforcement. This category consists of projects which contribute to the prevention of illegal dumping of municipal solid waste, including liquid wastes. Under this category, grant recipients may investigate illegal dumping problems; enforce laws and regulations pertaining to the illegal dumping of municipal solid waste, including liquid waste; establish a program to monitor the collection and transport of municipal liquid wastes, through administration of a manifesting system; and educate the public on illegal dumping laws and regulations. Funding limitations specific to this category are set forth in this Section. i) Funds provided under this Agreement may not be used for enforcement activities related to the illegal disposal of industrial or hazardous waste. Instances where industrial or hazardous waste may be discovered at an investigation site do not preclude the general investigation of that site, so long as the funded program is specifically aimed at the illegal disposal of municipal solid waste. ii) Funds provided under this Agreement may not be used for either the cleanup of illegal disposal sites nor the transportation and/or disposal of wastes collected at those sites. Note that while this restriction applies to ongoing enforcement programs dealing with illegal dumping, general community cleanup events that may include the cleanup and transportation of general litter and materials may be authorized under a separate category. 2. Source Reduction and Recycling. This category includes projects which provide a direct and measurable effect on reducing the amount of municipal solid waste going into landfills, by diverting various materials from the municipal solid waste stream for reuse or recycling, or by reducing waste generation at the source. Activities funded under this category may include: diversion from the waste stream and/or collection, processing for transport, and transportation of materials for reuse and/or recycling; implementation of efficiency improvements in order to increase source reduction and recycling, to include full-cost accounting systems and cost-based rate structures, establishment of a solid waste services enterprise fund, and mechanisms to track and assess the level of recycling activity in the community on a regular basis; and educational and promotional activities to increase source reduction and recycling. Funding limitations specific to this category are set forth in this Section. CAPCO FY2003 Solid Waste Interlocal Contractu 23
