oEPA Investing in America through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grants Community Grant Fact Sheet Calabasas, California Selected Grant Recipient Name: Los Angeles County Public Works, CA Project Title: Calabasas Anaerobic Digestion Facility Project EPA Information Region: EPA Region 9 Grant Funding: $3,999,090 Los Angeles County Public Works will design and build an anaerobic digestion facility at the Calabasas Landfill. Diverting organic waste from landfills to reduce methane emissions is a priority for California and a requirement for local jurisdictions. This investment will create the critical infrastructure needed to process organic waste diverted from solid waste disposal streams, as well as to generate beneficial end use products to promote a circular economy, reduce harmful landfill greenhouse gas emissions, and comply with organic waste reduction requirements under California Senate Bill 1383. SWIFR Grants for Communities The 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides the largest EPA investment in recycling in 30 years to support National Recycling Strategy implementation and build a circular economy for all. As part of the Investing in America agenda, this funding supports improvements to waste management systems and programs, allowing resources to be used more efficiently and reducing the impact on the climate. SWIFR Community grant funding can be used to establish or optimize collection and management of materials; fund infrastructure, technology, or other improvements to reduce contamination; enhance markets for recycled commodities; and increase the diversion, recycling rate and quality of materials collected for municipal solid waste. These grants also advance the Justice^ Initiative, which aims to ensure that 40% of the overall benefits of certain Federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution. EPA will make the award to Los Angeles County Public Works once all legal and administrative requirements are satisfied.
