The Integrated Waste Management Board provides grants and loans to help California cities, counties, businesses, and organizations meet the State's waste reduction, reuse, and recycling goals. Through its grants and loans, the Board promotes the use of new and innovative technologies for the practice of diverting California's resources away from landfills. It also provides funds to clean up solid waste disposal sites and co-disposal sites (those accepting both hazardous waste and substances as well as nonhazardous waste) when the responsible party cannot be identified or is unable or unwilling to pay for a timely remediation and where cleanup is needed to protect public health and safety or the environment. Grant categories include: (1) Research, Testing and Demonstration Grants: projects to develop collection technologies and uses for recycled or used oil; (2) Household Hazardous Waste Grants: for programs related to the collection and management of HHW, such as the following: (a) collection programs; (b) educational programs; (c) load-checking programs; or (d) programs emphasizing waste reduction, source reduction, reuse, or recycling of HHW; (3) Farm and Ranch Cleanup Grants: funding to cities, counties, Resource Conservation Districts, and Native American tribes for the cleanup of illegal solid waste sites on farm or ranch property; (4) Landfill Closure Loans: zero interest loans to operators of unlined, older-technology landfills who are interested in early closure of their facilities; (5) Local Enforcement Agency Grants: based on population and solid waste facilities, grants to Local Enforcement Agencies to assist in their solid waste facilities permit and inspection program; (6) Recycling Market Development Zone (RMDZ) Loans: direct loans to businesses that use post-consumer or secondary waste materials to manufacture new products, or that undertake projects to reduce the waste resulting from the manufacture of a product; (7) Reuse Assistance Grants: incentives for local public agencies to promote and apply the concept of reuse to their business communities; (8) Solid Waste Disposal and Site Cleanup Grants: Local governments can apply for funds to finance a wide range of remediation projects, including cleanup or emergency actions, or loans or matching funds to assist in remediation of environmental problems at landfills; (9) Sustainable Building Grants: local government funding for projects that advance the use of green building design and construction practices in California; (10) Tire Recycling, Cleanup, and Enforcement Grants: grants to local governments for the purpose of diverting tires from landfill disposal by promoting markets of recycled-content products, as well as for enforcement and cleanup; (11) Used Oil Grants: different grant programs for assisting with activities that encourage appropriate disposal and recycling of used oil. The California Integrated Waste Management Board is one of six agencies under the umbrella of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA).
