Scrap Tire Surface Material Grant Information
Scrap Tire Surface Material Grants rounds now open
During the 2009 legislative session, the Missouri General Assembly renewed the 50-cent scrap tire fee collected on the sale of new tires. Revenues generated from the scrap tire fee are deposited into the Scrap Tire Subaccount of the Solid Waste Fund. These funds are then made available as follows:
- Up to 50 percent for enforcement, permitting and inspection.
- Up to 45 percent for grants.
- Up to 5 percent for education.
During Fiscal Year 2013, there are two scrap tire surface material grant offerings being made for the cost and delivery of scrap tire surface material.
The application process for the Non-Playground Scrap Tire Surface Material Grant, available for running tracks, walking trails, equine/livestock stalls/riding area materials, other similar types of projects, or molded products is now open and applications are due no later than December 14, 2012. The application process for the Playground Scrap Tire Surface Material Grant, available for playground projects only, is also open and applications are due no later than January 18, 2013. For additional information, see the availability announcement (link).
Grant applicants will be notified of award and a Financial Assistance Agreement will need to be executed between the department and the grant recipient prior to any work being done on the project.
