Facilities Engineering
Division
The Facilities Engineering Division administers grant and loan programs for municipal pollution control and water supply construction projects. The division also performs financial audit functions for these projects. Please contact Winslow Ladue, Financial Management Chief, Facilities Engineering Division, for more information at (802) 654-8953. Also, please see the Financial Management Section home page for further details. IMPORTANT: The Facilities Engineering Division is requesting applications for projects to be listed on the 2012 Priority List Amendment are due January 27, 2012 and Reminder of request for applications for State Fiscal Year 2013 Pollution Control Projects Priority List and Planning List for 2014 to 2017 List are due January 6, 2012. 2012 Priority List Amendment Funds are available for Clean Water construction projects that can meet the timeline below.
An application form for AMEMDMENT TO THE 2012 Priority List is attached. Projects will be ranked by priority and funding made available based on project rank and available funds. Projects that may be funded include: Refurbishment projects - Includes improvements and renovations that are necessary to enable the treatment facility and/or pump stations to continue to operate efficiently and meet present discharge standards for another twenty to twenty-five year design period. Combined Sewer Overflow projects - These projects address problems caused by sewers that carry both wastewater and stormwater, and become hydraulically overloaded during rainfall events. This results in overflows to surface waters that are in violation of state and federal standards. State grants may be available for 25 percent of eligible costs. Phosphorus Removal projects - State statute prohibits most discharges to the drainage basins of Lake Champlain and Lake Memphremagog that contain a phosphorus concentration in excess of standards, and requires that phosphorus effluent limits be implemented in any drainage basin where needed to meet the requirements of a total maximum load or attain compliance with water quality standards. These projects are needed to meet existing phosphorus discharge permit limits. State grants may be available for eligible costs. Dry Weather Flow projects - These are projects which abate pollution that occurs during dry weather periods, when systems are not stressed by rainfall events (see CSO discussion). Examples are the construction of a collection system and new treatment facility to eliminate direct discharges to surface waters, or the extension of a sewerage system to collect the flows from failing septic tank or leach field systems and convey them to an existing treatment facility. State grants may be available for eligible costs. Enlargement projects - Upgrades of current facilities to handle increased wastewater flows or organic loading resulting from existing or planned municipal growth. Sewer Line Replacement projects - Upgrades of existing sewer lines to address aging infrastructure and limited capacities. Sewer Line Extension projects – Construction of new sewer lines in areas previously not served by municipal sewers. Stormwater/ Green Infrastructure/ Non-Point Source projects – These projects store and/or treat stormwater flows which impair surface waters. In addition, projects using natural landscapes and/or plantings to manage wet weather flows to maintain and restore natural hydrology may be funded. Non-point source projects can address discharges to groundwater in leach fields. All projects in this type need to either be required by a draft or final NPDES permit or described in Vermont's nonpoint source management plan. Water/Energy Efficiency or Environmentally Innovative projects – These projects deliver equal or better services with less water, such as installing water meters, recycling water use, and /or addressing leaks. Energy efficiency projects reduce energy consumption at eligible water facilities or produce clean energy for these facilities. Environmentally innovative projects demonstrate new and/or innovative approaches to managing water resources in a more sustainable way. Other - Represents projects that do not neatly fit into the categories above. This amendment of the 2012 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Priority List is made due to delays of a year or more in projects previously scheduled to be funded.
Applications for 2013 Priority List due January 6, 2012 This a reminder about the October 31, 2011 request for applications for the State Fiscal Year 2013 Pollution Control Projects Priority List and Planning List for 2014 to 2017 due January 6, 2012. Municipalities are asked to fill out the attached application form to have a project listed on the State Fiscal Year 2013 Pollution Control Projects Priority List and Planning List for 2014 to 2017. The attached form is to be filled out for each existing and new project(s) requesting funding in the 2013 to 2017 time frame. Please return the filled out excel spreadsheet as your application. The SFY CWSRF 2013 to 2017 application forms are due by January 6, 2012. The Pollution Control Projects Priority List is adopted each year to identify municipal pollution control projects qualifying for available funding through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program. All projects requesting funding for construction from 7/1/2012 to 6/30/2013 cannot be funded unless they are on the Priority List. An application is needed for new loans or amendments to existing loans for construction. Types of projects that may be funded are listed above. The Pollution Control Projects Planning List is adopted each year to identify municipal pollution control projects and funding for the second to fifth year of the planning cycle. All projects requesting funding from 7/1/2013 to 6/30/2017 need to fill out an application. The Clean Water State Revolving Fund provides loans for qualifying projects. State grants may also be available for qualifying projects as noted above. The timeline for the 2013 priority list is: 10/31/2011 Application and meeting notification 12/06/2011 Reminder of Application Deadline 01/06/2012 Applications due 02/09/2012 Hearing in Essex Regional Office F&W Conference Room 2-4 pm 02/24/2012 Comments due May - June 2012 Final Priority List 07/01/2012 Start of State Fiscal Year 2013 Please let us know if you have questions.
