SUBJECT

CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND STATE FISCAL YEAR (SFY) 1999/2000 INTENDED USE PLAN (IUP) AND FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR (FFY) 2000 FEDERAL CAPITALIZATION GRANT APPLICATION AND ACCEPTANCE

DISCUSSION

Federal regulations (40 CFR 35.3150) require the State to submit an annual IUP to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The Division of Clean Water Programs (Division) has prepared a proposed SFY 1999/2000 IUP consistent with federal rules which describes the intended uses of State Revolving Fund (SRF) monies for SFY 1999/2000.A copy of the SFY 1999/2000 IUP based on a California share of FFY 2000 federal appropriation of $96,314,427 is contained in Exhibit A.

The Division proposes that the Executive Director be authorized to apply for and accept the FFY 2000 Capitalization Grant in the amount of about $96,314,427.

The federal appropriation requires a 20 percent state match. The match money ($19,262,885) for the FFY 2000 Capitalization Grant will be provided from by any uncommitted funds remaining in the Safe, Clean, Reliable Water Supply Act passed by the voters on November 5, 1996, by the local match contribution from local agencies participating in the local match program, by transfer of any unobligated funds from the Water Quality Control Fund, or from match monies made available should Proposition 13 pass on March 7, 2000.

POLICY ISSUES

Should the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB); 1) approve the SFY 1999/2000 IUP; and 2) authorize the Executive Director to apply for and accept the FFY 2000 SRF Capitalization Grant

FISCAL IMPACT

The State match of $19,262,885 for the FFY 2000 Capitalization Grant will be provided from the $23.5 million in general obligation bonds made available by Proposition 13, if it passes on March 7, 2000.If Proposition 13 fails, the match will be provided from a combination of unencumbered funds from previous bond issues, the Water Quality Control Fund, and/or by using monies made available by the local match program.
