financial assistance to the South

Carolina Energy R&D Center for

conducting the activities of the Waste

Technology Center (WTC) which will

facilitate the demonstrations of

municipal solid waste disposal

technologies at the U.S. Department of

Energy Savannah River Site Subtitle D

landfill near Aiken, South Carolina. The

WTC will focus on technologies that

produce value-added products cleanly,

safely and economically, while reducing

the volume of municipal solid wastes

processed in landfills. The WTC will be

co-located with the Savannah River Site

Subtitle D landfill. By providing

financial support, DOE expects to better

satisfy the municipal solid wastes

disposal needs of the DOE Savannah

River Site, encourage development of

technologies which will produce valueadded products and reduce the volume

of municipal solid wastes processed in

landfills. The South Carolina Energy

R&D Center is uniquely positioned to

perform this activity due to its ongoing

activities with municipal solid waste

reduction, recycling, and energy

production, and because of its

established relationship with the

entities participating in the

establishment of the Savannah River

Site Subtitle D landfill. The criterion in

10 CFR 600.6(c)(2), permits award of

this noncompetitive action because the

activities are being conducted by the

applicant using its own resources and

resources provided by third parties; and,

DOE support will enhance the public

benefits and DOE knows of no other

entity which is conducting or planning

to conduct such activities.
