A. Administration
The SDWA-DWSRF amendments in the 2017 Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (Pub. L. 114-332) (2017 WIIN Act - EPA memorandum dated June 6, 2017) states that the Administrative Set-Asides that can be taken (the greatest of: $400,000, 1/5 percent of the current valuation of the fund, or an amount equal to 4 percent of all grant awards to the fund for the fiscal year). The State plans to use a portion of the allowable "Administrative" set-aside from the Appropriation. Preliminarily, the State would like to staff an administrative coordinator and a project manager to help facilitate this funding at an estimated cost of $750,000 over 6 years.
B. Small System Technical Assistance
The state is not authorized to take this set-aside since the City of Jackson does not meet the small system criteria.
C. State Program Management
The state does not intend to use this set-aside. Further coordination with recipient may determine the necessity of this funding at a later date.
D. Local Assistance and Other State Programs
The state does not intend to use this set-aside. Further coordination with recipient may determine the necessity of this funding at a later date.
