Introduced
by
To give priority in awarding grants from the state water pollution control revolving fund to sewage treatment projects to upgrade existing infrastructure to meet capacity needs or comply with federal water pollution control standards, or projects to replace septic systems that are adversely affecting the quality of a body of water. The revolving fund will be the means by which $1 billion in proceeds from a sewer infrastructure bond proposed by House Bill 4625 will be distributed.
Referred to the Committee on Commerce
Substitute offered
To add two new factors to those upon which priority is assigned in granting state sewer bond proceeds. The new factors are having developed a plan to deal with sewage issues that minimizes environmental impacts, and projects designed to upgrade failing septic systems around waterways.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the House 98 to 0 (details)
To require the Department of Environmental Quality to develop a priority list for projects funded by the Strategic Water Quality Initiatives Fund proposed by House Bill 5892. This would add two new factors to those upon which priority is determined for awarding grants to communities from the state water pollution control revolving fund. These would advantage communities which have developed a plan to deal with sewage issues that minimizes environmental impacts, and projects designed to upgrade failing septic systems around waterways. The Strategic Water Quality Initiatives Fund will receive ten-percent of the $1 billion in proceeds from a sewer infrastructure bond proposed by House Bill 4625.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with a version recommended by the committee which reported it. The substitute adds language which gives an advantage in the distribution of money from the Strategic Water Quality Initiatives Fund proposed by the bill to communities which have developed a plan to deal with sewage issues that minimizes environmental impacts.
