Each fiscal year has four application cycles, with the fourth serving as the pilot cycle. Cycle 91 (FR91) is the first cycle. CalRecycle administers the program per Section 48100 of the Public Resources Code. Description: The project sites eligible for the grant must be located on 'farm and ranch' property, encompassing both private and public land, where the owner is not held responsible for the illegal disposal. The definition of 'farm and ranch' property can be found in the Eligible Geographies section below. Grantees are given approximately two years to complete the project(s).
