In order to be eligible to receive a grant under this section, a State shall— limit the amount of food waste that may be disposed of in landfills in the State; enter into a written agreement with a hunger-serving organization providing for the State and the organization to work together to ensure that apparently wholesome food (as defined in section 170(e)(3)(C)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) provided to the State for the project is redistributed to the organization for provision to people in need of food; and have in place a written end-product recycling plan, which shall provide for the disposal of the material resulting from the project, in accordance with guidelines which the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall establish, that ensures that the disposal does not create an environmental hazard.
