Brown, Statutes of 1989, Chapter 974) and related legislation. As part of the Act, CIWMB is offering the Waste Tire Playground Cover Grant Program to encourage the reduction of landfill disposal and stockpiling of California waste tires. Section 42889(g) of the Public Resources Code (PRC) requires CIWMB to assist in developing markets for waste tires. Further, PRC 42872(a) allows I for the awarding of grants to public entities involved in `oma activities and applications that result in reduced landfill disposal or stockpiling of waste tires. CIWMB will award the grants on a competitive basis. The purpose of this competitive grant program is to fulfill the legislative mandates by assisting in the development of markets for products manufactured from California waste tires and supporting the diversion of waste tires from landfills and stockpiles. Applicants must submit a plan for a project that includes materials manufactured from California waste tire rubber. Applicants may submit an application for projects that are open to the public and refurbish surfacing at existing playgrounds or provide surfacing for new playgrounds. Eligible projects for the Playground Cover Grant include surfacing material that is placed underneath and around playground equipment. "Playground" means an improved outdoor area designed, equipped, and set aside for children's play that is not intended for use as an athletic playing field or athletic court, and shall include all playground equipment, surfacing, fencing, signs, internal pathways, California Integrated Waste Management Board Waste Tire Playground Cover Grant Program FY 200212003 internal land forms, vegetation, and related structures. GRANT FUNDING With the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 876 (Escutia, Statutes of 2000, Chapter 838) the tire fee was increased to one dollar ($1.00) per tire enhancing the potential resources available for this program. SB 876 authorizes CIWMB to allocate monies from the Tire Fund in a manner consistent with a five-year plan that is developed and approved by CIWMB and submitted to the Legislature. In the CIWMB-approved Five -Year Plan, staff proposed funding for the next five fiscal years at $800,000 per fiscal year for playground cover grants (with a maximum of $25,000 per grant). If the total amount of funds requested by the successful applications exceeds the funding amount available, CIWMB will allocate grant funds by passing score (rank order), then funding will be split, as follows: sixty-one (61) percent to projects submitted from southem California and thirty-nine (39) percent to projects submitted from northern California. The division of the State is based on the estimated population of each county in January 2000, provided by the Department of Finance (DOF). Southern California counties are defined as those counties including and south of San Luis Obispo, Kern, and San Bernardino. Northern California counties are all those counties north of and including Monterey, Kings, Tulare, and Inyo. A random number selection method may be implemented if the number of successful applications with the lowest funded score is greater than the funds available for this grant cycle. APPLICANT ELIGIBILITY Public entities that operate and manage a public playground in California can apply. For purposes of this grant, "public entities" (also referred to herein as "jurisdictions") are cities, counties, a city and county, colleges, universities, state owned Page 5 recreational facilities, public school districts, qualifying California Indian tribes, park districts, and special districts. Only one application per jurisdiction will be accepted for the FY 2002/2003 grant cycle (i.e., one application per school district, tribe, city, county, park district, etc.). Two or more public entities operating a playground as a joint venture, under an existing agreement, are also eligible to apply. A formal inter -agency agreement such as a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) or Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) must be'in place before the application deadline. An applicant must: • Plan to use surfacing materials made of rubber from California waste tires.

The sign must also identify the number of tires diverted from the waste stream due to this project. • Verify that the project is a public playground and is open to the public during normal recreational hours. • Demonstrate the ability to provide a fifty percent (50%) match (of the grant amount requested), which may be reduced to a twenty-five percent (25%) match (of the grant amount requested), upon verification provided to CIWMB of "Extreme Financial Hardship." Directions on how to qualify for "Extreme Financial Hardship" are provided in these instructions (see page 8 "Extreme Financial Hardship"). Example of a project match: Applicant requests $25,000. The match must be at least $12,500. If Extreme Financial Hardship vedfication_is provided, the match must be at least $6,250.
