The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), in cooperation with the New York State Departments of State and Agriculture and Markets, has issued State Fiscal Year 2000/01 (SFY 2000/01) application materials for use by municipalities and Soil and Water Conservation Districts in applying for state assistance payments toward the cost of Water Quality Improvement Projects under the Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act of 1996 and Nonagricultural Nonpoint Source Projects under Title 14 of Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL). Pursuant to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, the Department has determined that this action will not result in any significant adverse environmental impacts.
The Bond Act authorizes a total of $420 million in state assistance payments to municipalities and Soil and Water Conservation Districts toward the cost of the following types of Water Quality Improvement Projects: (1) wastewater treatment improvement projects; (2) agricultural and nonagricultural nonpoint source abatement and control projects; (3) aquatic habitat restoration projects; and (4) pollution prevention projects. Title 14 of Article 17 of the ECL authorizes payments to municipalities and Soil and Water Conservation Districts for nonagricultural nonpoint source abatement and control implementation projects.
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets announces the availability of funds from the Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act and the Environmental Protection Fund for farmland protection activities. Pursuant to the State Agricultural and Farmland Protection Implementation Program as set forth in Article 25-AAA of the Agriculture and Markets Law, county agricultural and farmland protection boards in counties with a farmland protection plan approved by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets, or other municipalities which have in place a local farmland protection plan, may apply for State assistance payments for the implementation of projects and activities identified in the plans. Priority will be given to projects intended to preserve viable agricultural land; that are in areas facing significant development pressure; and that serve as a buffer for a significant natural public resource containing important ecosystem or habitat characteristics. State funds awarded to any applicant shall not exceed 75% of the total project cost.
