Growing Greener Fundin Program Extended To HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) The state budget signed into law by Gov. Mark Schweiker last week doubles the funding com mitted to the Growing Greener Program to $1.3 bil lion, extends the program to 2012 and provides a specific, dedicated source of funding. “This extraordinary achievement was made pos sible by the terrific work wa tershed groups, county con servation districts, local officials and many others are doing to improve their wa tersheds using Growing Greener funding.” DEP Sec retary David E. Hess said. “We can now assure that DEP can support these great efforts not only this year, but for the next 10 years through a dedicated source of fund ing.” The extension and dou bling of funding for the Growing Greener Program was made possible by the adoption of a new $4 per ton tipping fee on solid waste Heavy Duty Loader for ATV’s 110 South Railroad Av«. i Maw Holland, PA 17557 f 800*346-8319 VMMt our«M»b«fl»; •bcgroff.cow Moo<%thfU Ffk%: 7:30-5:00; B«tunj*y 7:30N00n Other Thw» By Appointment /abc\ [ GROFF} NirnrHu C«n TV’ l '* TV NirnrHu Can Tniil Slave IH9O Beef 275 pounds of it was on the menu for affili ates Fulton and Lebanon Valley Farmers Bank’s annual Elizabethtown beef roast Wednesday.

The first $5O million of revenue from the fee this fiscal year will go to Growing Greener and next fiscal year and beyond all the revenue generated by the fee will be dedi cated to Growing Greener. “The financial impact of this new fee will be minor 33 cents a week, less than half the cost of a cup of coffee, for a family of four,” said Secretary Hess. “And, nearly half of the revenue will come from residents of New York and New Jersey who dispose of their waste in Pennsylvania! A good deal all the way around!” “I want to thank Gov. Schweiker for continuing his commitment to the Growing Greener Program and all the leg islators who voted for extending the program,” Secretary Hess said. “It took real courage on the part of Senate and House mem bers to provide a dedicated fund ing source for Growing Greener, but their actions will mean clean water for all Pennsylvanians.” Saluting a painful job achieved in difficult economic times. West- Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 13, 2002-A25 g Doubled 2012 era Pennsylvania Conservancy President Larry J. Schweiger also acknowledged the Pennsylvania Legislature’s continuing commit ment to conservation in the 2002-2003 budget. “I applaud the Pennsylvania Legislature and the Governor for protecting Growing Greener while trying to reach consensus on a zero-growth bud get,” said Schweiger. “The Gen eral Assembly enacted Growing Greener into law in 1999, and re mains committed to the pro- gram.” The vote for increased funding for Growing Greener was not unanimous 122 to 76 in the House and 28 to 22 in the Senate.
