The Department of Environmental Protection is now accepting applications for Host Municipality Inspector cost reimbursements for municipal and hazardous waste sites.  Applications are due March 31. (formal notice)

Reimbursements are allocated from the Recycling Fund authorized under Act 101 for municipal waste facilities, or from the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund under Act 108 for hazardous waste facilities.

Reimbursements are available to any municipality that has a municipal waste landfill, resource recovery facility, or commercial hazardous waste storage, treatment and disposal facility located within its geographic borders. Upon application from any host municipality, the Department shall award reimbursements for authorized costs incurred for the salary and expenses of up to two certified Host Municipality Inspectors.

The reimbursement shall not exceed 50% of the approved costs of salaries and expenses. Reimbursement is available only for Host Municipality Inspectors trained and certified by the Department.

Applications must be submitted online through the Commonwealth's Electronic Single Application website.  Questions should be directed to Allen Bardar, Bureau of Waste Management, at abardar@pa.gov or 717-787-2553.
