WATER RECYCLING FACILITIES PLANNING GRANT PROGRAM, APPROVAL OF TIME EXTENSION FOR GRANT FOR FACILITIES PLANNING STUDY FOR CITY OF CORONA (CITY), RECYCLED WATER MASTER PLAN
The Safe, Clean, Reliable Water Supply Act (1996 Bond Law) established the Water Recycling Subaccount and provided $60 million for low-interest loans for design and construction of water recycling projects and for grants for facilities planning of recycling projects.
On April 17, 1997, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) approved the Water Recycling Funding Guidelines (WRF Guidelines) governing the Water Recycling Loan Program and the Water Recycling Facilities Planning Grant Program (FPGP). Planning grants are authorized to cover 50 percent of eligible costs up to a maximum grant of $75,000.
The City has applied for an FPGP grant for the City’s Recycled Water Master Plan facilities planning study. This grant was approved by the SWRCB by Resolution No. 99-055 on June 17, 1999. The estimated eligible cost of the study is $228,000 and the grant requested and approved was $75,000.
The due date for the submittal of final facilities planning report specified in the SWRCB approval was December 17, 1999. As provided under the WRF Guidelines, at the request of the City, the Office of Water Recycling approved an extension until May 17, 2000. While the study has been proceeding, it has encountered unexpected delays. Therefore the City has requested another time extension until December 1, 2000. In accordance with the WRF Guidelines, a second time extension must be brought before the SWRCB for approval.
Should the SWRCB approve a time extension for the FPGP grant for the City‘s Recycled Water Master Plan facilities planning study?
Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board.
There is no fiscal impact from a time extension for this grant.
That the SWRCB adopt a resolution approving a time extension for the FPGP grant to the City for the subject study.
