The objective of this program is to disperse all available loan and grant funds in a timely manner to achieve the public health protection benefits resulting from the projects identified in the FFY-2022 EC IUP, and to ensure compliance with loan agreements, as required by state and federal laws and regulations.
By implementing the FFY-2024 EC IUP and funding projects shown on the FFY-2022 EC Priority List (Section VII), the Board will have the means to plan for and fund projects that will address the most serious public health risks facing the public water supply systems in the state. Funding of the system projects will be determined by the amount of funding to be received for FFY-2022 BIL EC Cap Grant.
The success of the DWSIRLF Program will be defined by the ability of the MSDH to successfully meet commitments in the FFY-2022 EC IUP and Set-Aside Work Plan.
Additionally, the majority of the projects as proposed should have minimal impact on the environment due to the nature of their design. Where necessary, appropriate environmental reviews will occur and proper permitting through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality will be required to ensure minimal impact on the environment.
