Grants To Clean Up Illegal Dumps
KENTUCKY....
Illegal dump cleanup has been conducted in Kentucky for several years, using primarily county and federal money. In 2006, Senate Bill 50 changed the illegal open dump reimbursement program to a grant program. Friday, the state announced that about $1.7 million in grant funding has been awarded from the Kentucky Pride Fund for cleanup of 167 illegal dumps in 28 counties. The Kentucky Pride Fund is the first legislated and ongoing source of state funding for dump cleanup.
These counties received grants: Breathitt, Breckinridge, Clay, Garrard, Grant, Hardin, Hart, Henderson, Hopkins, Jackson, Lee, Leslie, Lewis, Lincoln, Logan, Marion, Mason, Meade, Nelson, Owsley, Powell, Rockcastle, Spencer, Warren, Washington, Wayne, Whitley and Wolfe.
