This notice is given to fulfill the public information requirements of Idaho's rules for administration of drinking water and wastewater construction grant and loan programs.
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has scheduled a comment period and one public hearing concerning the following documents:
1. The Draft Fiscal Year 2005 State Drinking Water Loan Intended Use Plan (IUP), which contains the Loan Project Priority List.
2. The Draft Fiscal Year 2005 State Water Quality Loan Intended Use Plan (IUP), which contains the Loan Project Priority List.
3. The Draft Fiscal Year 2005 State Wastewater Planning Grant Project Priority List.
4. The Draft Fiscal Year 2005 State Drinking Water Planning Grant Project Priority List.
DEQ will award grants and loans from these four lists in priority order, highest ranked projects having first access to the funds. Awards will be made until available funding resources are exhausted.
The purpose of the comment period and hearing are to give interested parties an opportunity to comment on the grant and loan lists. During the scheduled Hearing (May 12, 2004), DEQ will explain how and why the four priority lists are prepared and describe the relationship between each loan list and its associated Intended Use Plan (IUP). An opportunity will be provided at the hearing for public comment on the lists and the IUPs.
