Description
Water Quality Improvement Fund disbursements. Allows new or expanding publicly owned treatment works that are not defined as significant dischargers, but are subject to the State Water Control Board's new nutrient control requirements and will have to install nutrient removal technology, similar to the significant dischargers, to apply for matching grant moneys from the Water Quality Improvement Fund. Currently, only those plants that are defined as significant dischargers are eligible to receive grants from the Fund. The bill also authorizes the Department of Environmental Quality to utilize the Fund for design and installation of nutrient removal technologies. Currently, grants to sewage treatment facilities are allocated for two uses, with the larger portion used for biological nutrient removal facilities and other appropriate nutrient removal technologies, and the smaller portion being used for only state-of-the-art facilities. The bill would remove this state-of-the-art restriction on the smaller portion. Read the Bill »
