SEPA Investing in America through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Solid Waste Infrastructure for Recycling Grants Community Grant Fact Sheet Logan, Utah Selected Grant Recipient Name: City of Logan, UT Project Title: Development of the Logan Regional Green Waste Facility EPA Information Region: EPA Region 8 Grant Funding: $4,000,000 The City of Logan, UT will use SWIFR funding to construct the Logan Regional Green Waste Facility, which will expand the city's ability to compost biosolids from a regional wastewater treatment facility and from yard waste received. This project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting landfilling biosolids and yard waste, protecting neighboring vulnerable communities, and allows for Logan to adjust management pathways for food and organic waste in the future. This project will divert 12,000 tons of biosolids and 11,500 tons of yard waste from entering landfills annually. Additionally, this project will create three acres of community gardens serving up to 150 residents depending on plot size. 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 the city of Logan once all legal and administrative requirements are satisfied.
