the “fund”) is established as a special account in the Department of Environmental
Protection. The fund shall be administered by the department, and shall be the depository of
all monies appropriated to the fund by the Legislature pursuant to section 9 of this
act or any subsequent act for the purpose of making State grants or loans to local
government units to defray costs of increases in landfill disposal tipping fees specifically
required for closure and to finance the closure of sanitary landfill facilities. Monies in the fund are specifically dedicated to making grants or loans to local
government units for eligible closure projects as provided in section 5 of this act, 1 and shall not be expended except in accordance with appropriations from the fund

or projects to be funded, and shall specify the terms and conditions of each grant
or loan. b. Project grants shall be for the local government unit's portion of the closure
costs, and grants shall be made only for projects which meet the eligibility requirements

exceed 50% of the average interest rate of the Bond Buyer Municipal Bond Index for
bonds available for purchase during the last 26 weeks preceding the date of the approval
of the loan by the department. All principal and interest payments on loans made from the fund shall be repaid
by the local government units into the fund and shall be deposited into the fund in
accordance with the terms of a written loan agreement. The terms of the loan agreement shall be approved by the State Treasurer. d. When a federal agency pays part of the cost of a project, the cost of the project
