These Policies and Procedures govern the provision of financial assistance to local governmental units, persons or corporations (collectively "Borrowers") to finance costs of approved water pollution abatement projects in the form of loans with below market interest rates or interest rate subsidies which reduce the cost of financing these projects by at least 33%. Financially distressed Borrowers may receive financial assistance greater than 33% as long as these loans do not have an adverse effect on other participants in the loan programs of the Bank; bond holders; other creditors of the Bank; or the finances of the Bank. In determining those Borrowers that qualify as "financially distressed" the Bank may consider the criteria set forth in R.I. Gen. Laws §§ 45-13-12(b)(1) through (4) as amended.
