"Rubberized Pavement Grant Program" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Rubberized Pavement Grant Program is sponsored by Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. The purpose of the grant is to promote markets for Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) products with crumb rubber derived from only California-generated waste tires to resurface roads using RAC Hot-Mix or Chip Seal applications. The program is designed to encourage first-time users of rubberized pavement.
Parking lots and alleys are eligible. However, it is not recommended for these applications due to the resilient nature of the material. An application may include rubberized pavement (hot-mix and chip seal) projects for roadways, Class 1 bikeways [as defined in Streets and Highways Code section 890.
4(a)], greenways, and disability access at parks. A greenway is a travel corridor for pedestrians, bicycles, non-motorized vehicle transportation, recreation, or a combination thereof, located along natural landscape features, such as an urban watercourse. State agencies are eligible only for projects for Class 1 bikeways, greenways, and disability access at parks.
All projects are subject to the following requirements: · The grantee will construct one or more Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Hot-Mix or Rubberized Chip Seal project(s) at the location(s) specified in the approved grant application, unless otherwise approved by the Grant Manager. · Only California-generated waste tires that are processed in California shall be used in the crumb rubber portion of the project(s).
Recycled end-of-life crumb rubber that meets all specifications and standards can be used, as appropriate with prior written permission from the Grant Manager. · The project(s) must be located in California. · Projects must be owned and maintained by the applicant and accessible to the general public.
· Reimbursement will not exceed the amount stated on the Grant Agreement Cover Sheet (CalRecycle 110). · Construction of the RAC portion of any project must commence on or after the date indicated in the Notice to Proceed and be completed by April 1, 2029. · The binder material must contain a minimum of 300 pounds (equivalent to 15 percent by weight) of the tire-derived crumb rubber per ton of rubberized binder.
The binder may be either asphalt rubber/field blend or terminal blend.

Rubberized Pavement Grant Program - CalRecycle Home Page Rubberized Pavement Grant Program CalRecycle provides the Rubberized Pavement (Pavement) Grant Program, formerly called the Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC) Grant Program, to promote markets for recycled-content surfacing products made from waste tires generated in California.
The goal is to decrease the adverse environmental impacts created by unlawful disposal and stockpiling of waste tires. RAC is a proven road paving material used in California since the 1970s. Blending ground tire rubber with asphalt binder Then, mixing the blended materials with conventional materials.
Roads made with RAC last 50% longer than roads made only with conventional materials. Within the Pavement Grant Program, the Targeted RAC Incentive Grant and RAC Chip Seal Grant were consolidated into one grant with two project types – RAC and Chip Seal projects. See all CalRecycle lists and previous messages.

This variable rate doubles for Tribal Applications. For Regional Applications, the grant award is based on a $15 or $30 per ton of RAC hot-mix, regardless of grant category.
Chip Seal Projects must use a minimum of 40,000 square yards of chipseal material (20,000 square yards for Tribal Entities). Grant awards are based on a flat rate of $. 50 cents ($1 for Tribal Entities) or $1 ($2 for Tribal Entities) per square yard of chip seal material proposed, regardless of whether the applicant is an Individual or a Regional Application.
This rate doubles for Tribal Applications. Eligible costs include expenditures incurred and paid for eligible paving material delivered and installed during the Grant Term. For more information about the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program, contact TireGrants@calrecycle.

Illegal Disposal Site Abatement Grant Program is sponsored by Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. This program provides financial assistance in the form of reimbursement grants up to $500,000 to help public entities accelerate the pace of cleanup, restore sites, and turn today’s problems into tomorrow’s opportunities. Widespread illegal dumping of solid waste adversely impacts Californians in many ways. Properties on which illegal dumping occurs lose economic value; create public health and safety and environmental problems; and degrade the enjoyment and pride in the affected communities. Abandoned, idled, or underutilized properties due to unauthorized dumping impact what were once the sources of economic benefits to a community. Many such properties have been abandoned or have owners who are unable or unwilling to pay the costs of cleanup.
On August 20, 2026 the Energy Department named seven selections across the Battery Materials Processing and Battery Manufacturing and Recycling programs. Three of the seven are recycling or reprocessing. Two awards hit the $100 million ceiling. The round is 83% smaller than Round 2, and the composition tells you exactly what DOE will fund next.
Read articleDE-FOA-0003627 closes September 8, 2026, with $150 million across four topic areas and roughly 10 expected awards. Three topics fund enhanced recovery and fracture diagnostics; one funds produced water treatment — the smallest pot at $24 million, and the one with the least crowded applicant field. Here is the full topic breakdown, the TRL 5-to-7 bar that disqualifies most lab-stage teams, the 20 percent cost share math, and why a companion $65.5 million NOFO closing September 22 changes how you should sequence two applications.
Read articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
