Section 555.08. Reimbursement grant.

 

(1)   Purpose. In order to enhance available and new markets for the reuse of waste tires so that their value is recovered, an economically attractive alternative to landfilling and stockpiling should be in place. To create these markets, financial assistance is necessary to develop and operate waste tire recovery activities. Financial assistance may be provided in the form of a reimbursement grant to end users and processors of waste tires or processed waste tires for the cost of developing or operating these waste tire recovery activities. Development and operating costs are those costs required to expand existing or new markets designed to reduce the number or volume of waste tires, recycle waste or recover energy from waste tires and to sustain that market.
