Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant for: The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma plans to construct a 50 foot x 90 foot metal building on a concrete slab that will be utilized as a storage area for materials to be recycled, two offices, a restroom, and a small storage closet. The facility will be constructed on a current gravel parking lot located behind the Choctaw Transportation Building, and no new ground disturbance will be required. The facility will be connected to existing facilities. Materials will be collected, sorted, and packaged for shipment to an off-site facility that will do further processing of the materials. In addition to construction of the facility, funds will be used to hire a recycling coordinator and other recycling collection staff; purchasing necessary equipment (compactor/bailers, forklift tractor, and scales); conduct a review and analysis of materials generated by Phase I facilities/activities; develop an initial recycling program to process Phase I materials; and after Phase I materials are processed, begin planning to expand the Choctaw Recycling Program to other facilities, Choctaw Tribal members, and the general southeastern Oklahoma community.
