Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Projects; Public Meeting on Federal FY 2001 Intended Use Plan

[30 Pa.B. 4785]

   The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) have prepared the Federal fiscal year (FY) 2001 drinking water program Intended Use Plan (IUP) which includes a 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 2001 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 in the FY 2001 IUP are on Pennsylvania's approved FY 2000/2001 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. A copy of the FY 2000/2001 Project Priority List will be available for review in the offices listed below after November 1, 2000.

   The FY 2001 IUP has 28 drinking water projects listed with a total dollar value of approximately $30.8 million. The DWSRF will be capitalized with approximately $24.6 million of Federal FY 2001 funds from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and approximately $13.9 million of State funds. Some $6.6 million of available FY 2000 Federal funds and $7.6 million of available FY 2001 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 below. After the public meeting and assessment of the comments received, the Final FY 2001 IUP will be completed, and potentially, it may include other projects from the Project Priority List. A project must appear on the PENNVEST 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 EPA.

   The Department has scheduled a public meeting for 10 a.m., October 11, 2000, 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 FY 2001 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@dep.state.pa.us) by 4 p.m., October 10, 2000. 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. Written comments will be considered equivalent to oral statements presented at the meeting. To be considered by the Department and PENNVEST, 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 Mr. Maisano or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

   The FY 2001 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 and are accessible electronically through the Department's website, as follows:
