  Dear Mr. Gunner,

  Re:  — Municipal Waste Reduction & Recycling (MWRR) State Assistance Program
  Town of Aurora ~ Residential Yard Waste Vehicles
  GG Applic.: DECO4-MWRR-2021-00109
  State Share Requested: $353,925
  This letter is in reference to your application for funding under the Municipal Waste
  Reduction and Recycling (MWRR) State assistance program.

  Your project has been assigned Application No. DECO1-MWRR-2024-00109 and the
  application has been added to the MWRR wait list at position #1504, We have reached MWRR
  wait list position #1405 with current State budget appropriations, It may require three to five
  years after an application is submitted for funding to become available. We ask for your
  patience during this waiting time.

  Per Part 369-2.1(b), costs incurred more than one calandar year before the date the
  application is received are ineligible for reimbursement under the MWRR program. Therefore,
  the 500 recycle bins on line 4 of your budget worksheet are ineligible for funding under this
  grant.

  Please be advised that your application is currently incomplete as the Recyclables
  Tonnage Summary Worksheet did not Include figures for Materials Collected for Disposal
  or Recycling Rates if the project is approved. Your previously submitted form is attached
  for your convenience. Please submit the updated form as soon as possible to:
  [email protected].

  Please also be advised that application acceptance is NOT a guarantee of funding.
  Grant projects can only be funded after the complete application is reviewed and approved by
  the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Expenditures made in advance of
  DEC approval are the responsibility of the applicant until the project is reviewed and determined
  by DEC to be eligible for MWRR funding.
