Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Projects; Public Meeting on Federal FY 1999 Intended Use Plan

   The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PIIA) and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) have prepared the Federal fiscal year 1999 drinking water program Intended Use Plan (IUP) list of drinking water projects to be considered for a design and engineering or construction loan from funds Pennsylvania expects to receive from fiscal year 1999 funds approved by Congress to capitalize the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program.

   The projects to be considered for a loan from the DWSRF must meet the Federal requirements for funding in accordance with section 1452 of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (act). Accordingly, the projects included in the IUP are expected to meet the requirements applicable to use of the DWSRF loan funds. Projects listed on the FY 1999 IUP are on Pennsylvania's approved FY 98/99 Project Priority List and are expected to proceed with design and engineering or to construction in the near future. Other projects on the DWSRF Project Priority List are projects that are in development or will be developed for future loan consideration. Any project removed from an IUP is maintained on the Project Priority List unless otherwise completed.

   In addition, the Department and the PIIA anticipate adding approximately 36 new drinking water projects to the approved FY 98/99 Project Priority List. Any person wishing to provide comments on the addition of new projects to the priority list may send those comments to the Department at the Market Street address listed within this notice. A copy of the list of projects proposed to be added to the FY 98/99 Project Priority List is available upon request from any of the offices listed within this notice. A copy of the revised Project Priority List will be available for review in the offices listed within this notice after November 1, 1998.

   The FY 1999 IUP has 22 drinking water projects listed with a total dollar value of approximately $21.4 million. The DWSRF will be capitalized with approximately $24.0 million of Federal FY 1999 funds from the Environmental Protection Agency and approximately $4.8 million of State funds. Some $7.4 million of available Federal funds will be set-aside for program administration costs, technical assistance to small systems, operator training and certification and source water assessment and protection, as authorized under section 1452 of the act. The IUP also includes a narrative workplan further describing how these set-aside funds will be used.

   A public meeting will be held, as described within this notice. After the public meeting and assessment of the comments received, the Final FY 1999 IUP will be completed, and potentially, it may include other projects from the Project Priority List. A project must appear on the PIIA approved IUP before it can receive a loan from the DWSRF. A project's readiness to proceed and the reasonable availability of alternative funds also have a bearing on project selection for the IUP. Consequently, the rank ordered list of projects on the Project Priority List does not dictate the order in which projects will be chosen for inclusion in the IUP.

   Federal guidance on development of the IUP requires that it be subject to public review and comment before being submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

   The Department has scheduled a public meeting for 10 a.m., October 14, 1998, in the Auditorium of the Rachel Carson State Office Building, located at 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA. The meeting is scheduled for the purpose of receiving comments from the public regarding the fiscal year 1999 IUP. Interested persons are invited to express their views on the narrative portion of the IUP, the set-aside workplan or the priority rating or ranking of projects on the IUP at the public meeting. Persons wishing to offer comments should contact the Administrative Services Section, Division of Municipal Financial Assistance, Bureau of Water Supply Management, 11th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8466, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8466, (717) 787-6744, or by Internet E-Mail (Maisano.Tony@a1.dep.state.pa.us) by 4 p.m., October 13, 1998. Where written statements are prepared and will be submitted at the meeting, speakers will be asked to restrict the oral portion of the statement to a summary of the written comments. Speakers will be called to present their comments generally in the order of receipt of the notice of intent to appear at the meeting.

   It is not necessary to appear at the public meeting to present comments on the narrative portion of the IUP, the set-aside workplan or the IUP list of projects. Interested persons may submit written comments to the Department at the address shown above. The written comments will be considered equivalent to oral statements presented at the meeting. To be considered by the Department and PIIA, the written comments must be received by the Administrative Services Section on or before the date of the meeting.

   Persons in need of accommodations as provided for in the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact Tony Maisano as noted above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   The FY 1999 DWSRF IUP list of projects follows this notice. A copy of the list, as well as the narrative portion of the IUP and set-aside workplan, are available for public review in the offices listed at the end of this notice. In addition, based on new or additional information related to project ratings or other relevant factors, prior fiscal year IUP lists have been revised and are available by contacting these same offices.
