The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program is accepting comments on the proposed State Fiscal Year 2024 (SFY24) Intended Use Plans and Project Priority Lists for the Alaska Clean Water Fund and the Alaska Drinking Water Fund. In accordance with federal requirements, the Intended Use Plans demonstrate how Alaska intends to use funds made available through the federal Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). Available funds are used to issue low-interest loans for planning, designing, and constructing sanitation and drinking water facilities.
In addition to the annual base capitalization grants, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (also referred to as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law or BIL) includes new appropriations for both the CWSRF and DWSRF. The SFY24 Intended Use Plans have been prepared to include required information for each of these appropriations. The titles of the Intended Use Plans prepared for SFY24 are listed below:
- Alaska Clean Water Fund Intended Use Plan Base and BIL General Supplemental
- Alaska Clean Water Fund Intended Use Plan Emerging Contaminants
- Alaska Drinking Water Fund Intended Use Plan Base and BIL General Supplemental
- Alaska Drinking Water Fund Intended Use Plan Emerging Contaminants
- Alaska Drinking Water Fund Intended Use Plan Lead Service Line Replacement
Comments received by June 12, 2023 will be considered in developing the final documents. Upon adoption, the Intended Use Plans will become official policy of the Department and will serve to determine the award of loans for drinking water and water pollution control projects during State Fiscal Year 2024.
