Summary
Funding for upgrades of wastewater treatment plants. Provides for a direct appropriation to the Water Quality Improvement Fund (WQIA) of no more than $500 million for grants to upgrade wastewater treatment plants and provides three methods for the payment of that sum: (i) current funding in the Water Quality Improvement Fund; (ii) future deposits to the Water Quality Improvement Fund; and, (iii) the use of Virginia Public Building Authority bonds. The bill provides for the payment of these grants to 89 publicly-owned wastewater treatment plants according to the methodology specified in in the Water Quality Improvment Act, with a minimum grant amount of 35 percent of the costs for the design and installation of nutrient removal technology. Should any grant be prorated, the bill prioritizes the use of any year-end revenue surplus or unappropriated general fund balances deposited to the WQIF be used to offset any proration.
