WAC 173-312-060   Application process.  (1) The department shall set forth in its grant guidelines the base funding levels estimated to be available for each county for coordinated prevention grants and the process by which applications will be submitted.

     (2) The application must be submitted by the county agency or department having responsibility for solid waste, unless the county executive department selects another agency or department to submit the application.

     (3) Coordinated prevention grant applications must:

     (a) Include a commitment by the applicants to use local funds to match grant funds according to the requirements of WAC 173-312-090.

     (b) Be for eligible projects as defined in WAC 173-312-050.

     (c) Include a scope of work that is sufficiently detailed for the department to monitor grant performance.

     (4) To obtain coordinated prevention grant funding, a county shall submit an application, as defined herein:

     (a) A coordinated grant application means that the county, the health department or district and any other grant eligible entities as defined in WAC 173-312-040 have reached agreement regarding the requested projects and funding allocations for both local solid and local hazardous waste plans and projects. Coordinated applications will receive financial incentives for administrative coordination set forth in WAC 173-312-080.
