Bydd Cynllun Cymunedau y Dreth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi, sy'n cael ei gyhoeddi heddiw, yn disodli'r Gronfa Cymunedau Tirlenwi yng Nghymru ac yn cefnogi prosiectau amgylcheddol a chymunedol mewn ardaloedd sydd wedi'u heffeithio gan waredu gwastraff i safleoedd tirlenwi.  
  
Daw i rym ar 1 Ebrill 2018, pan fydd treth gwarediadau tirlenwi yn cael ei chyflwyno yng Nghymru.  
  
Cynllun Llywodraeth Cymru yw hwn, a fydd yn cael ei ddosbarthu dan gontract gan Gyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru rhwng mis Ebrill 2018 a mis Mawrth 2022\. Bydd yn ariannu prosiectau sy'n cefnogi bioamrywiaeth, lleihau gwastraff a dargyfeirio gwastraff o safleoedd tirlenwi a gwelliannau amgylcheddol eraill.  
  
Y nod cyffredinol yw helpu cymunedau sy'n cael eu heffeithio gan warediadau gwastraff i safleoedd tirlenwi.  
  
Caiff £1\.5m ei neilltuo i'r cynllun, i'w ddyfarnu fel grantiau i brosiectau llwyddiannus. Bydd grantiau rhwng £5,000 a £50,000 ar gael mewn dwy rownd ymgeisio flynyddol, gydag un prosiect sylweddol y flwyddyn yn cael cynnig hyd at £250,000 o gyllid.  
  
Bydd cymunedau a phrosiectau sydd o fewn pum milltir i safle tirlenwi neu orsaf trosglwyddo gwastraff sy'n anfon o leiaf 2,000 o dunelli o wastraff i safle tirlenwi bob blwyddyn yn gymwys i wneud cais i Gynllun Cymunedau y Dreth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi.  
  
Gall prosiectau barhau i fanteisio ar unrhyw gyllid y Gronfa Cymunedau Tirlenwi a ddyrannwyd cyn 31 Mawrth 2018\. Bydd dwy flynedd o gyfnod pontio er mwyn cwblhau prosiectau'r Gronfa Cymunedau Tirlenwi yng Nghymru a gwario'r holl gyllid sy'n weddill. Bydd y cyfnod hwn yn ymestyn o 1 Ebrill 2018 i 31 Mawrth 2020\.  
  
Hannah Blythyn, Gweinidog yr Amgylchedd, fydd â'r cyfrifoldeb Gweinidogol dros Gynllun Cymunedau y Dreth Gwarediadau Tirlenwi pan fydd yn weithredol.  
  
Mae rhagor o wybodaeth am y cynllun ar wefan Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru (dolen allanol).  
  
Caiff y cynllun ei osod gerbron y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

The Landfill Disposals Tax Communities Scheme, which is published today, will replace the UK Landfill Communities Fund in Wales and support environmental and community projects in areas affected by the disposal of waste to landfill.  

  

It will come into effect from 1 April 2018, when landfill disposals tax is introduced in Wales.  

  

This is a Welsh Government scheme, which will be distributed under contract by the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) between April 2018 and March 2022\. It will fund projects, which support biodiversity, waste minimisation and the diversion of waste from landfill and other environmental enhancements.  

  

Its overall aim is to support those communities which are affected by the disposal of waste to landfill.  

  

£1\.5m will be allocated to the scheme, to be awarded as grants to successful projects. Grants of £5,000 to £50,000 will be available in two annual bidding rounds, with one significant project per year being offered funding of up to £250,000\.  

  

Communities and projects which are within five miles of a landfill site or a waste transfer station which sends a minimum of 2,000 tonnes of waste to landfill each year, will be eligible to apply to the Landfill Disposals Tax Communities Scheme.  

  

Projects will continue to benefit from any Landfill Communities Fund support awarded before 31 March 2018\. There will be a two\-year transitional period to enable Landfill Communities Fund projects in Wales to be completed and for all remaining funding in Wales to be spent. This period will run from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020\.  

  

Hannah Blythyn, Minister for Environment, will have Ministerial responsibility for the Landfill Disposals Tax Communities Scheme once it is operational.  

  

Further information about the scheme is available on the WCVA website (external link).  

  

*This scheme is being laid before the National Assembly during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.*
