Notice of Intent to Develop Technical Guidance

   Title: Chapter 71 Sewage Facilities Planning Assistance Grants: Cost Eligibility of Items Estimating Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) of Existing Sewerage Facilities Background: Currently, there is no guidance on eligibility of specific elements of inflow and infiltration studies that applies Statewide with uniformity.

This guidance also provides a transition period to allow processing of grant applications already in the review process without impact from this guidance. Anticipated Effective Date: October 15, 1997 Anticipated Draft Development Date: August 15, 1997 Proposed Development and Review Process: The draft guidance will be presented to the members of the Act 537 Program Review Committee (an internal DEP group) and to the members of the Sewage Advisory Committee for comment. It will be distributed to the regional offices of DEP for comment. Notice of the availability of the draft will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and DEP's UPDATE for public comment. Final guidance will be prepared, as modified in response to comments received. Contact: John J. McHale, Jr. at (717) 787-8184.
