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.
