The Department of Environmental Protection which required the city upgrade the plant will review applications Tabak said. Any project begun after Jan. 1 2007 is eligible for funding Tabak said and construction on the plant didn’t start until that fall.

Large cities are not eligible for the program Tabak said though he could not say how competitive it is likely to be. The authority will pay MS Consultants $7100 to prepare and submit the grant application which Tabak said through hand gestures would likely be 12-inches thick. If the authority gets the grant MS engineer John Pierko said that would mean more extensive paperwork and additional fees from his firm that could possibly be paid out of the grant.
