This Cooperative Agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling (SWIFR) Grant Program (CFDA 66.920) provides $3,291,202 to the City of Baltimore's Department of Public Works to establish a new solar-powered composting facility. The facility will process approximately 12,000 tons of organic materials annually, diverting them from landfills and incinerators. This project will create 4-5 full-time green industry jobs and improve environmental conditions in Baltimore communities through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants. The funding will be used to purchase composting equipment and construct the facility's asphalt foundation pad. This award partially funds the project, with the remaining $968,160 contingent on National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review approval. The project period runs from August 15, 2024 to August 15, 2027.
