Description
The Wyoming Office of State Lands and Investments (OSLI) administers this grant and loan program for municipal solid waste facilities undertaking cease and transfer activities. Authorized under Chapter 35 of the State Loan and Investment Board’s rules, the program supports both landfill closure and the infrastructure needed to transfer solid waste.
Supported work includes capping closed landfills and other closure-related expenses, including engineering, geological, and other professional services. Funding also supports constructing or acquiring appropriate solid waste transfer facilities, purchasing equipment, and acquiring real property. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) reviews applications and recommends funding to the State Loan and Investment Board (SLIB), which considers grant and loan awards.
