Cumberland, Green, Russell receive grants to clean illegal dumps Energy and Environment Cabinet Announces Grants to Clean up Illegal Open Dumps in 20 Kentucky Counties By John Mura Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet Secretary Charles Snavely today announced that approximately $1.15 million in grant funding has been awarded for the cleanup of 77 illegal dumps in 20 counties across the Commonwealth. "This grant program has significantly reduced the number of illegal open dumps across the commonwealth," Sec. Snavely said. "I encourage all counties to consider using this grant to keep our beautiful Kentucky communities clean and attractive." The following counties received grants:
Funding for the Illegal Open Dump Grant program comes from the Kentucky Pride Fund. The Kentucky Pride Fund is generated through a $1.75 environmental remediation fee for each ton of garbage dumped at Kentucky municipal solid waste landfills. This "tipping fee" was first authorized by the 2002 General Assembly under House Bill 174, for use in a dump cleanup reimbursement program, and for the remediation of historic landfills. In 2006, Senate Bill 50 changed the reimbursement program to a grant program, and expanded the scope of the fund to address household hazardous waste collection and recycling infrastructure. For grant amounts or other questions, please call your local solid waste coordinator or Lisa Evans at 502-782-6355 or lisa.evans@ky.gov This story was posted on 2019-01-15 07:47:19
