Opportunity Summary:
The Solid Waste Management (SWM) Grant Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered through USDA Rural Development Utilities Programs (CFDA 10.762). Its purpose is to help rural communities reduce or eliminate pollution risks to water resources by improving the planning, management, and oversight of solid waste sites. The program does this by funding free technical assistance and training delivered by qualified recipient organizations, rather than by paying for construction or equipment. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at strengthening rural landfill operations, improving compliance and safety, and helping rural areas make better long-term decisions about solid waste handling so that nearby groundwater and surface water are better protected.
Grant funds can be used for several types of technical support and training activities. Eligible projects may assess current landfill conditions to identify threats to water resources in rural areas, which can include evaluating operational practices and risks that could lead to contamination. Funding can also support hands-on technical assistance or operator training to improve skills related to maintaining and operating active rural landfills, with an emphasis on better day-to-day management and environmental protection. In addition, the program supports assistance to associations and communities to reduce the overall solid waste stream, which can include education, planning, and waste reduction strategies. A key focus is also helping operators of rural landfills that are already closed or expected to close soon: grants may support development and implementation of closure plans, future land use plans, safety and maintenance planning, and closure schedules that align with permit requirements.
The program has clear restrictions that shape what an application should and should not propose. Funds cannot be used to recruit or prepare pre-applications or applications for other loan or grant programs (including the RUS Water and Waste Disposal Loan and/or Grant Program). The grant also cannot pay for duplicative services or replace support that is already being provided, such as work typically done by an association's consultant for project development. Political activities are not allowed. The funding cannot be used for capital assets or major purchases such as real estate or vehicles, nor can it be used to improve or renovate office space. It also cannot be used to repair or maintain privately owned property. Importantly, the grant does not fund construction, nor does it pay for operation and maintenance costs of water or waste facilities. Costs incurred before the grant becomes effective are not allowable, which means project planning and budgets need to be aligned with the grant start date.
Eligibility is broad but specific to organizations with the capacity to deliver technical assistance and training to rural areas. Eligible applicants include private nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized tax-exempt status, public bodies, federally acknowledged or state recognized Native American tribes or groups, and academic institutions. The applicant must be legally established and located in a U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, or another U.S. territory, and must have the legal authority to carry out the grant purpose. The agency expects a proven track record of successfully delivering technical assistance and/or training in rural settings, along with sufficient capitalization acceptable to the agency. Organizational ownership or membership must be at least 51 percent U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, and the organization must not have delinquent federal debt or outstanding judgments to repay federal debt. Applicants also must demonstrate the financial, technical, and managerial capability to comply with federal and state laws and requirements. If the applicant plans to contract out parts of the work, it may contract with a nonaffiliated organization for no more than 49 percent of the grant-funded assistance, keeping primary responsibility in-house.
In this posted funding cycle (Funding Opportunity Number RDUP SWMGRANT 093009 FY20), the estimated total funding amount is $3.4 million, with an expected 40 awards and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows no specified award floor or ceiling in the provided summary fields. The announcement was posted September 30, 2009, and the closing date listed is December 31, 2009 (with an archive date of January 30, 2010).
