Section 34.12. Grant contracts.

 

(1)   General. The department shall enter into a written grant contract with each grant recipient, specifying the terms and conditions of the grant. No grant award under s. ATCP 34.10 is final until the grant contract is signed. The contract may incorporate, by reference, all or part of the grant application.

(2)   Contents. A contract under sub. (1) shall include all of the following:

(a) The amount of the grant award.

(b) The purposes for which the grant award may be used. The contract may identify those purposes by reference to this chapter, the department's announcement under s. ATCP 34.06 (2) , or the grant application.

(c) The grant recipient's responsibilities under the contract. The contract may identify those responsibilities by reference to this chapter, the department's announcement under s. ATCP 34.06 (2) , or the grant application.

(d) The nature and amount of the grant recipient's contribution under s. ATCP 34.04 (5) .

(e) The grant recipient's responsibility as a hazardous waste generator, under s. ATCP 34.16 (1) , for hazardous waste collected by the clean sweep project.

(g) The grant recipient's agreement to comply with applicable requirements under this chapter.

(h) Other contract terms specified by the department.

(3)   Grants contingent upon funding. Every grant award and grant contract under this chapter is contingent upon the availability of funding. If funding is not available for all of the grants awarded, the department may do any of the following notwithstanding its contract with any grant recipient:

(a) Cancel one or more of the grants.

(b) Reduce grant amounts.

(4)   Reallocation of funds. A county that receives grant funds for both a farm chemical waste collection project and a household hazardous waste collection project may reallocate up to 50% of either project's grant funding to the other project, based on unanticipated changes in demand for collection services in either project. A county may not reallocate funds from a project if the reallocation results in a shortage of funds for that project.
