Wastewater and Stormwater Treatment Financial Assistance Rulemaking — Proposed Changes

The MPCA is committed to a rulemaking effort to amend the state rules governing Wastewater and Stormwater Treatment Financial Assistance (Minn. R. 7077.0105 to 7077.0292). Rules governing the State Revolving Fund (SRF) for wastewater and stormwater were adopted in 2007 that included the provisions of Minn. Stat 116.182 Subd 5 that provide up to twenty additional points for qualifying stormwater projects being ranked for funding assistance. This provision is set to expire on June 30, 2012. The MPCA would like to continue providing up to twenty additional points for qualifying stormwater projects and is proposing changes to Minnesota Rule Chapter 7077 that are intended to enhance stormwater projects’ (especially prevention projects’) ability to qualify for financial assistance by bringing them within the range of fundable projects. In addition, the MPCA is considering other changes that may enhance stormwater projects’ ability to qualify for financial assistance and other minor changes that impact both stormwater and wastewater.
