PURPOSE AND EFFECT: In 1988, the Legislature created a large grant program to help counties and municipalities develop recycling and education programs, along with lesser grants for waste tire programs and to help small counties manage solid waste. The Department adopted Chapter 62-716, F.A.C., to implement all of these grants programs. Over time, funding for the recycling and education grants declined, and a few years ago the Legislature stopped funding them altogether. This rule chapter is being amended to delete obsolete references to grants that no longer exist.
A Notice of Rule Development for this chapter was published in the FAW on March 23, 2007. Due to delays in rule development and a change in the purpose and effect of proposed changes, a new notice is being published.
SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Grant programs for recycling, waste reduction, and solid waste management.
