Dear Waterworks Owner and Other Interested Parties:
Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, Congress authorizes capitalization grants to the states through the Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund Program (DWSRF). As part of the annual DWSRF grant application process, Virginia seeks meaningful public involvement through input, review and comments. The Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water (ODW) prepared a draft Intended Use Plan (IUP) that explains the goals of the program, funding priorities, how ODW intends to use the grant funds and other important information submitted from the funding requests and set-aside suggestions.
The Virginia Department of Health (VDH) received several funding requests and set-aside suggestions following the January 2022 DWSRF funding solicitation announcement. The draft IUP and draft project lists were open for review and comment by the public for a period of 30 days and it was available on the ODW website.
The VDH posted this Intended Use Plan under the Financial & Construction Assistance Programs at http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/drinking–water/ and under the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall at https://townhall.virginia.gov/L/ViewNotice.cfm?gnid=2452 for a 30-day public comment period beginning August 18, 2022. The amended IUP and amended PPL were posted in the same locations for a public comment period.
Due to continuing COVID-19 restrictions, VDH did not hold a public meeting, but
Recommendations and comments regarding this IUP were mailed to Kelly Ward, DWSRF Program Director, contact information below:
