January 2015 Drinking Water State Revolving Funds

The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) is pleased to announce several opportunities for funding drinking water infrastructure. All applications may be submitted year round; however, VDH will conduct one round of evaluations for requests submitted by the deadlines listed below. Applications postmarked/received after the due date will be considered for funding in the following round. Funding is made possible by our Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Program and the Water Supply Assistance Grant Fund (WSAG) Program (if funds are available). The FY 2016 DWSRF Intended Use Plan will be developed using input on these issues:

1. Public Comments and Set-Aside Suggestions Invited (Submission deadline April 1, 2015). To identify ways to improve our program, VDH seeks meaningful input from the public, the waterworks industry, or other interested party. Anyone may make comments or recommendations to support or revise the program. Anyone has the opportunity to suggest new or continuing set-aside (nonconstruction) activities. Set-aside funds help VDH assist waterworks owners to prepare for future drinking water challenges and assure the sustainability of safe drinking water. VDH will consider all comments and suggestions submitted by April 1, 2015.

2. Construction and Refinance Fund Requests (Application deadline April 1, 2015). Owners of community waterworks and nonprofit noncommunity waterworks are eligible to apply for construction funds. VDH makes selections based on criteria described in the DWSRF Program Design Manual, such as existing public health problems, noncompliance, affordability, regionalization, and the availability of matching funds. Readiness to proceed with construction is a key element. A preliminary engineering report, or waiver, must be submitted as required by VDH. An instruction packet and construction project schedule are included. VDH anticipates a funding level of $24 million.

3. 1452(k) Source Water Protection Initiatives (Application deadline April 1, 2015). This provision allows VDH to loan money for activities to protect important drinking water resources. Loan funds are available to: (1) community and nonprofit noncommunity waterworks to acquire land/conservation easements and (2) community waterworks, only to establish local voluntary incentive-based protection measures.

4. Planning and Design Grants (Application deadlines April 1, 2015 and Sept. 1, 2015). Private and public owners of community waterworks are eligible to apply for these grant funds.  Grants can be up to $50,000 per project for small, financially stressed, community waterworks serving fewer than 10,000 persons. Eligible projects may include preliminary engineering planning, design of plans and specifications, performance of source water quality and quantity studies, drilling test wells to determine source feasibility, or other similar technical assistance projects. These funds could assist the waterworks owner in future submittals for construction funds. There are two application deadlines for planning grant application submittals: April 1, 2015, and September 1, 2015. VDH intends to conduct two rounds of evaluations and offers.

The VDH's DWSRF Program Design Manual describes the features of the above opportunities for funding. After receiving public input, VDH will develop a draft intended use plan (IUP) for public review and comment. When developed the draft IUP will describe specific details for use of the funds. A public meeting is planned and written comments will be accepted before submittal of a final version to the USEPA for approval.

Applications, set-aside suggestion forms, Program Design Manuals and information materials are available on our website: http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/odw/financial/
