Environmental Quality, Drinking Water
Rule R309-705
Financial Assistance: Federal Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) Loan Program
Five-Year Notice of Review and Statement of Continuation
DAR File No.: 39211
Filed: 03/13/2015 11:07:50 AM
NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
The federal Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 USC 300j et seq., and Title 73, Chapter 10c, authorize the Department of Environmental Quality acting through the Drinking Water Board to provide financial assistance to public drinking water systems for drinking water projects from a federal capitalization grant.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
No comments have been received either in support of or opposition to this rule.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
Through this rule the Drinking Water Board is able to provide millions of dollars in low-interest loans and principal forgiveness (grants) to public drinking water systems for construction of drinking water system infrastructure projects. Without this financial assistance many water systems could not afford to construct the drinking water system improvements that are necessary to protect public health and safety and the Drinking Water Board would not be able to continue administering the federal and Utah State Safe Drinking Water Acts. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
