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

Beef 275 pounds of it was on the menu for affili
ates Fulton and Lebanon Valley Farmers Bank’s annual
Elizabethtown beef roast Wednesday. This year 450 peo
ple were expected to attend. The beef roast is the largest
of their customer appreciation events, according to Mi
chael Firestine, senior vice president of agriculture lend
ing at Fulton Bank. Above is pictured, from left, Rick
Ashby, chairman, president, and CEO of Fulton Bank;
Curt Myers, senior vice president of Fulton Bank, com
mercial lending; and Michael Firestine. Other events
sponsored by the banks include a beef roast in Ephrata
and Quarryville each year. Along with a new branch open
ing and a remodeling celebration, these events will add
up to a ton of beef served to customers this year, said
Firestine. Bank representatives also served 600 ears of
corn. Photo by Michelle Kunjappu
disposed at Pennsylvania’s mu
nicipal waste landfills. 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.”

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.
