BASIS AND PURPOSE
The FY98 State Sewage Construction Grant Priority List has been approved by the Water Quality Control Commission. Regulation # 53 provides for projects to be listed in a priority basis for funding dependent upon appropriations from the State Legislature.
The Division has received $3 million for funding in FY96-97 and $3 million for FY97-98. The Division will be utilizing up to 5% of each grant for administration of the program.
The Commission received comments from the Denver Regional Council of Governments Water Resource Management Advisory Committee. There appear to be three concerns by DRCOG, that are addressed as follows.
The Division has always in the past and will continue in the future (by means of the site approval process and Commission policy established in the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund Rules) ensure that projects are identified in the appropriate water quality planning documents prior to the award of funds to construct the project. The Division has committed to aggressively involve DRCOG as well as other water quality management agencies with the WPCRF Intended Use Plan and the State Construction Grant List as they are developed.
The Clear Creek/Arapahoe MHP and the Clear Creek/Herman Area are two distinct projects.
The Box Elder Water and Sanitation District is a community of approximately 40 homes near the Tomahawk Truck Stop in Adams County; however, the address listed with Special Districts to send correspondence is in the City of Englewood. The Division is willing to include both the location of the District and the address where they send correspondence.
