AI Summary
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency seeks proposals to expand composting infrastructure for source-separated organic materials, focusing on wasted food and food scraps, to reduce landfill and incineration disposal.
Full Name: MCSFS Statewide Organics Management Infrastructure Grant The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) seeks project proposals that will expand infrastructure capacity for composting source-separated organic materials (SSOM) in Minnesota with a focus on wasted food and food scraps. This grant program aims to reduce the amount of organic material being disposed of through landfilling or incineration by funding projects that expand composting capacity either through the creation of new compost infrastructure or the expansion of capacity within existing compost infrastructure. Priority project elements for this grant are listed under Section 6, but any eligible project focused on expanding wasted food and food scraps composting infrastructure capacity will be considered. Organics management methods other than composting are not eligible for this RFP. Ineligible management methods include prevention of wasted food, food rescue, food-to-animals, anaerobic digestion, waste-to-energy, and landfilling. This grant is part of a larger MPCA grant program funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which includes other materials management focus areas (e.g., prevention of wasted food, cleaner refrigerants, industrial innovation in food systems, etc.). There is more information on the MPCA website about these different grant options and we encourage you to consider if your project is eligible under these other grant funding opportunities.
