New York State Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan

Draft Amendment #2 to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan issued September 30, 2008 was published in the January 14, 2009 issue of the Environmental Notice Bulletin. The comment period for the Draft Amendment #2 closed on January 29, 2009. The New York State Department of Health received no public comments pertaining to this amendment. Therefore, the amendment to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan is final as shown below:

"The New York State Department of Health (DOH) and the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) amended the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Final Intended Use Plan (IUP) dated September 30, 2008 to adjust the estimated project cost for one DWSRF project listed on the Project Readiness List. The explanation of the reason for the cost revision is included in the table below:

Borrower County Project Description DWSRF # Current IUP Cost Proposed IUP Cost Explanation
(V) Sherburne Chenango New Ground Water Source, New Transmission, Upgrade Storage, Upgrade Distribution System, System Consolidation 15237 $0 $313,000 The cost increase is the result of actual construction costs exceeding the original project cost estimates.

The Department has determined that the revised project cost increase is necessary, reasonable and consistent with the original project concept. In addition, the scope of the project has not changed, nor have we altered the project priority rankings in any way. The project cost increase will not adversely affect any other project on the IUP Project Readiness List above the funding line. Except for the above-noted change, there are no other changes to projects listed on the Project Readiness List or to the project priority rankings."

The revised Project Readiness List may be obtained by calling DOH's toll free information line at 1-800-458-1158, extension 27676 (within New York State only) or (518) 402-7676.
