Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Projects; Public Hearing on Federal FY 2000 and 2001 Project Priority List and FY 2000 Intended Use Plan
[29 Pa.B. 4638] The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have prepared a combined Federal fiscal year 2000 and 2001 drinking water program Project Priority List and the fiscal year 2000 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 2000 funds approved by Congress to capitalize the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program.
The FY 2000/2001 DWSRF Project Priority List was developed in conformance with the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1996 (Act) and Federal guidance. The Act stipulates that States must maintain a Project Priority List of drinking water projects from which to develop the annual DWSRF IUP list of projects to be funded.
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 Act. Accordingly, the projects included in the DWSRF IUP are expected to meet the requirements applicable to use of the DWSRF loan funds. Projects listed on the FY 2000 DWSRF IUP 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.
The DWSRF will be capitalized with approximately $24.4 million of Federal FY 2000 funds from the Environmental Protection Agency and approximately $4.9 million of state funds. Up to $7.6 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 and previous fiscal years' set-aside funds will be used. The FY 2000 IUP has 14 drinking water projects listed with a total dollar value of approximately $16.8 million.
A public hearing will be held, as described below. After the public hearing and assessment of the comments received, the final FY 2000 DWSRF IUP will be completed; potentially, it may include other projects from the DWSRF Project Priority List. A project must appear on the approved DWSRF 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, although projects are generally funded in priority order.
Federal guidance on development of the DWSRF Project Priority List, Intended Use Plan and set-aside workplan direct that they be subject to public comment and review before being submitted to EPA.
DEP has scheduled a public hearing for 10 a.m., October 14, 1999, in the Auditorium of the Rachel Carson State Office Building, located at 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA. The hearing is scheduled for the purpose of receiving comments from the public regarding the fiscal year 2000/2001 DWSRF Project Priority List and the FY 2000 DWSRF IUP, including set-aside activities. Interested persons are invited to express their views at the public hearing. 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@dep.state.pa.us) by 4 p.m., October 13, 1999. Where written statements are prepared and will be submitted at the hearing, 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 hearing.
It is not necessary to appear at the public hearing to present comments. Interested persons may submit written comments to DEP at the address shown above. Written comments will be considered equivalent to oral statements presented at the hearing. To be considered by DEP and PENNVEST, the written comments must be received by the Administrative Services Section on or before the date of the hearing.
Persons in need of accommodations as provided for in the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 should contact Tony Maisano at the address noted above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how DEP may accommodate their needs.
The FY 2000/2001 DWSRF Project Priority List and FY 2000 DWSRF IUP list of projects follow this notice. Copies of these lists, as well as the narrative portion of the DWSRF Intended Use Plan, 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.
