Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 805.
(1) For
				  each fiscal year in which funding is available, the director shall prepare an
				  official notice of funding availability for each county for solid waste
				  management planning. The computation for each county shall be done according to
				  the formula established in R 299.4806(1). The official notice shall be sent to
				  each county.
(2) The director shall
				  review each work program prepared pursuant to R 299.4704 and R 299.4705 and
				  shall accept or reject it for grant consideration. A rejected work program
				  shall be returned to the applicant with the reasons for rejection. An applicant
				  shall have 1 month from the date of rejection to revise the work program and to
				  submit it for reevaluation.
(3) A
				  work program that is not submitted within the time periods allowed in R
				  299.4704 and R 299.4705 or that is rejected after reevaluation as provided by
				  subrule (2) of this rule shall cause the designated planning agency to be
				  excluded from consideration for a grant award. Funds available for preparation
				  of the county plan shall be held for use by the agency designated pursuant to
				  the provisions contained in R 299.4702(2) to (5).
(4) The cost of preparation of the work
				  program is eligible for grant cost sharing if the work program is approved and
				  if a grant is made for preparation of the solid waste management
				  plan.

Rule 806.
(1)
				  One-half of the appropriated funds for county solid waste planning grants in
				  any 1 state fiscal year shall be equally divided among the counties as fixed
				  grants. One-half of the appropriated funds shall be proportionally divided
				  among the counties as population proportioned grants based upon the most
				  recently adopted department of management and budget population totals.
				  Therefore, the total grant funding available for solid waste management
				  planning in each county is determined by the following formula:

where: PC = Current county population
PT = Total current state population (equal to the total of
					 the 83 county populations).
A = Total appropriated funds.
(2) Municipalities that are joined together
				  by interlocal agreement as provided by section 11547(1) of the act shall be
				  funded from the grant funds available to the counties in which they are located
				  in an amount proportional to their population as compared to the total current
				  county population.
(3) Each of the
				  counties affected by inclusion of a municipality in the plan of an adjacent
				  county as provided by section 11536(1) of the act shall have its population
				  adjusted to account for the gained or lost population for the purpose of
				  calculation of the grant.
(4) A
				  grant offer for preparation of a county solid waste management plan shall not
				  be more than 80% of the total cost of the plan which is not covered by federal
				  funds.
(5) A work program that is
				  submitted to fund the initiation and completion of an original solid waste
				  management plan required by the act shall receive funding before work programs
				  for updating previously approved plans.
(6) An amendment to an approved solid waste
				  management plan is not eligible for state grant funding.
(7) A work program that is partially funded
				  may be annually updated to reflect the amount of work accomplished, changes in
				  projected project costs for each work element, and the cost of completion of
				  the plan, but may not be changed to revise the scope of the project. An updated
				  work program is eligible for continued funding from each annual appropriation
				  until the full 80% state funding has been granted.

Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 807.
(1)
				  Grant payments shall be made quarterly after the grant offer and its terms have
				  been accepted by the grantee. The director may withhold payment if the grantee
				  does not uphold the terms of the grant or does not meet the timetable for the
				  accomplishment of tasks submitted under R 299.4705(2)(a).
(2) The grantee portion of the total plan
				  development cost shall be expended concurrently with the expenditure of state
				  grant funds. The cost of preparation of the work program, if done only with
				  grantee funds, shall be considered an advance payment towards the grantee
				  portion of the total plan preparation cost.
(3) The grantee shall keep records of receipt
				  and expenditure of all funds used in the plan preparation. Such records shall
				  clearly show that the grant is utilized solely on the plan preparation costs as
				  detailed in the approved work program and that the grantee cost contribution is
				  made and utilized on the project.
(4) Accounting records that are maintained as
				  provided in subrule (3) of this rule shall be available for inspection by the
				  director or his or her authorized representative during regular business
				  hours.
(5) Unobligated grant funds
				  shall be made available to other grantees. Such redistribution shall be
				  proportioned to maximize the output of plan preparation tasks as determined by
				  the director.
