Current through June 25, 2024
This Appendix sets forth the process for the resolution of
				  procurement protests filed with the loan recipient by an adversely affected
				  party. The Loan Recipient's protest procedures must include the requirements of
				  this Appendix.
(1) Prior to advertisement for bids, the loan recipient must
				  establish its own procedures for prompt consideration of initial protests
				  concerning solicitations or contract awards. A "protest" is a written complaint
				  concerning the loan recipient's solicitation or award of a contract. The
				  protest must be filed with the loan recipient by a party with a direct
				  financial interest adversely affected by a loan recipient's procurement action
				  and must be filed in accordance with and within the time frame established by
				  the loan recipient's protest procedures.
(2) Any party who transmits any document concerning the
				  protest during the course of a protest and protest resolution must
				  simultaneously furnish all other affected parties and the Department with a
				  copy of all documents in the transmittal.
(3) Upon receipt of a protest, the loan recipient must make
				  a determination on the protest in accordance with the loan recipient's protest
				  procedures within thirty (30) calendar days after such protest, or sooner if so
				  required by the loan recipient's procurement protest procedures.
(4) The party with a direct financial interest adversely
				  affected by a loan recipient's determination of the protest may appeal such a
				  determination only through the appropriate court of competent jurisdiction,
				  provided such appeal is initiated within seven (7) calendar days after receipt
				  of the determination.
(5) Any delay due to a protest or protest resolution will
				  not relieve the loan recipient of the requirement to meet the project schedule
				  established in the loan agreement, nor will such delays prevent the Department
				  from pursuing the remedies for default established in the loan
				  agreement.

Current through June 25, 2024
The following requirements apply to those drinking water
				  treatment facilities that have or will construct wastewater treatment
				  facilities necessary to treat waste generated by their drinking water treatment
				  facilities.
The loan recipient must insure that all current regulations
				  of the Commission on Environmental Quality and the Environmental Quality Permit
				  Board are complied with during the planning, design, and construction of any
				  wastewater treatment facilities associated with this DWSIRLF loan project.
				  These regulations include "Wastewater Permit Regulations for National Pollutant
				  Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Underground and Injection Control (UIC)
				  and State Operating Permits" and "Guidelines for Review of Siting Criteria in
				  Applications for Air and Water Pollution Control Permits". It is the loan
				  recipient's responsibility to insure that the project is in compliance with
				  these regulations and all future amendments. Also, the loan recipient must
				  comply with the following requirements:
(1) All planning documents submitted to the Department for
				  review must clearly indicate that a 150 foot buffer zone between the wastewater
				  treatment facility and the nearest adjoining property line is provided. This
				  must be shown on a plan view of the drinking water treatment facility site. If
				  it is not possible to provide a 150 foot buffer zone, the planning document
				  must indicate that a written waiver from the adjoining property owner(s) will
				  be necessary.
(2) All design plans submitted to the Department for review
				  must clearly display the 150 foot buffer zone for the wastewater treatment
				  facility. If it is not possible to provide a 150 foot buffer zone, a written
				  waiver from the adjoining property owner(s) must also accompany the design
				  plans. When a waiver is necessary, it is strongly suggested that this be
				  obtained prior to substantial work on the treatment facility design.
An NPDES permit application must accompany all design plans
				  for wastewater treatment facilities, if a permit or permit modification is
				  required.
(3) All appraisals, negotiations, purchase agreements, and
				  site certificates must include the required buffer zones, unless a waiver was
				  previously submitted along with the design plans.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 3 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-3-II - Goals of Mississippi's Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund (DWSIRLF) Program

Current through June 25, 2024
The Board has established certain goals for the DWSIRLF Program
				with the objective of improving the Program on an ongoing basis. The goals have
				been classified into three categories that include basic, long-term, and
				short-term. These goals were developed to address the necessary requirements of
				federal and state regulations, as well as the state's need and desire to
				maintain and enhance the Program. Congress and the State of Mississippi have
				placed particular emphasis on assisting smaller drinking water systems under
				the DWSIRLF to ensure that these systems have adequate technical, managerial,
				and financial resources to achieve or maintain compliance and provide safe
				drinking water.
A.
Basic
			 Goals
1. Maintain a financially sound
			 DWSIRLF in perpetuity; meet a portion of the drinking water needs in the state
			 within a reasonable period of time; and fund projects in order of public health
			 importance. Attaining these basic goals will help ensure that Mississippi's
			 drinking water supplies remain safe and affordable, and that those public water
			 systems that receive funding will be properly operated and
			 maintained.
2. Determine the
			 DWSIRLF's yearly interest rate, taking into consideration that it must be
			 competitive with the private sector, as well as with other available funding
			 sources within the state. This will ensure the timely use of available funds,
			 as well as ensure sufficient income is generated to provide for the perpetuity
			 of the Fund. Further details of loan terms and priority ranking are outlined in
			 Sections IV and VI of this IUP.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 3 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-3-III - Structure of the Mississippi DWSIRLF

Current through June 25, 2024
The Mississippi DWSIRLF is structured around three separate
				funds that sustain the Program and help it achieve the basic, short-term, and
				long-term goals. The funds are broken down further into designated accounts,
				each having a specific function.
A.
DWSIRLF Loan/Operations Fund
Monies in the Fund support a majority of the functions of the
				DWSIRLF. These functions include: program administration, set-aside operations,
				and most importantly, provide disbursements to public water systems for
				eligible projects. The DWSIRLF is a reimbursement program, meaning that after
				the loan is awarded, costs associated with planning, designing and constructing
				the project are reimbursed to the recipient. Cap grants from EPA, loan
				repayments and interest earnings are deposited into this Fund.
1. Types of Eligible Projects:
Many types of projects are eligible for funding by the Program.
				For a more detailed explanation of eligible costs for projects, please
				reference Appendix A of the DWSIRLF Regulations.
2. Set-aside Accounts:
The set-aside accounts reside under the umbrella of the Fund
				and are distinctly designated by reporting categories. A listing of the
				set-asides taken by Mississippi includes the following:
a. Administrative Set-aside: Provides
			 financial support to administer the loan Program and other non-project-related
			 activities.
b. Small System
			 Technical Assistance Set-aside: Provides technical assistance to small water
			 systems through the current contractual services of the Community Resources
			 Group (CRG), Mississippi State University Extension Service (MSU-ES) and the
			 Mississippi Rural Water Association (MsRWA)
c. State Program Management Set-aside:
			 Provides additional financial support to MSDH Bureau of Public Water Supply for
			 Public Water System Supervision Program.
d. Local Assistance and Other State Programs:
			 Provides funding for the implementation of a wellhead protection
			 program.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 3 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-3-VIII - Expected Public Health Outcomes & Performance Measures

Current through June 25, 2024
The objective of this program is to disperse all available loan
				and grant funds in a timely manner in order to achieve the public health
				protection benefits resulting from the projects identified in the FFY-2014 IUP,
				and to ensure compliance with loan agreements, as required by state and federal
				laws and regulations.
By implementing the FFY-2014 IUP and funding projects shown on
				the FFY-2014 Priority List (Section VII), the Board will have the means to plan
				for and fund projects that will address the most serious public health risks
				facing the public water supply systems in the state. Funding of the system
				projects will be determined by the amount of funding to be received for
				FFY-2014. If the full Cap grant occurs, the public health protection outcomes
				resulting from the funding of these projects on the priority list will be:
1) one system will become compliant
			 with primary drinking water standards;
2) one system will receive an additional
			 water source;
3) two systems will
			 make improvements to improve pressures;
4) three water systems seeking funding for
			 four different projects will construct distribution to serve previously
			 un-served areas;
5) twelve systems
			 will construct back-up water supplies;
6) eight systems will upgrade or rehabilitate
			 existing facilities;
7) one system
			 will add fluoridation to their existing system; and
8) one system will replace aging water meters
			 with modern radio read meters. The success of the DWSIRLF Program will be
			 defined by the ability of the MSDH to successfully meet commitments in the
			 FFY-2014 DWSRF Work Plan.
Additionally, the majority of the projects as proposed should
				have minimal impact on the environment due to the nature of their design. Where
				necessary, appropriate environmental reviews will occur and proper permitting
				through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality will be required to
				ensure minimal impact on the environment.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 3 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Appendices › Appendix 33-3-J - Drinking Water Systems Emergency Loan Fund Program

Current through June 25, 2024
Section
				  41-3-16,
				  Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, created the Drinking Water Systems
				  Emergency Loan Fund Program (DWSELF). This program provides loans to counties,
				  municipalities, districts, or other (tax exempt) water organizations for
				  emergency construction, repair, or replacement of drinking water facilities.
				  This entirely state-funded loan program provides a ready funding source for
				  such emergency projects without the federal cross-cutter requirements required
				  in the Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund (DWSIRLF)
				  Program, thereby saving valuable time and expense. This Program eliminates the
				  need to address emergency loans in the DWSIRLF. The Board encourages eligible
				  water organizations throughout the state to utilize this program whenever
				  emergency drinking water projects are needed.
The basic provisions of this program are:
1) a current interest rate of 2.0%;
2) a maximum single loan amount as
				determined by the Board;
3) a
				maximum repayment period of five (5) years; and
4) the project must meet the definition of an
				emergency as established in the program regulations. It is also important to
				note that loan recipients do not pay interest during the original construction
				period (capitalized interest), and that loan repayments do not begin until
				after project completion.
Allowable costs for the project may not be incurred prior to
				  the budget period established in the loan agreement, which may not begin more
				  than 30 days prior to receipt of the loan application.
Costs for the project will be paid on a reimbursement basis,
				  based upon the actual allowable expenditures of the loan
				  recipient.

Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 4 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-4-III - Structure of the Mississippi DWSIRLF

Current through June 25, 2024
The Mississippi DWSIRLF is structured around three separate
				funds that sustain the Program and help it achieve the basic, short-term, and
				long-term goals. The funds are broken down further into designated accounts,
				each having a specific function.
A.
DWSIRLF Loan/Operations Fund
Monies in the Fund support a majority of the functions of the
				DWSIRLF. These functions include: program administration, set-aside operations,
				and most importantly, provide disbursements to public water systems for
				eligible projects. The DWSIRLF is a reimbursement program, meaning that after
				the loan is awarded, costs associated with planning, designing and constructing
				the project are reimbursed to the recipient. Cap grants from EPA, loan
				repayments and interest earnings are deposited into this Fund.
1. Types of Eligible Projects:
Many types of projects are eligible for funding by the Program.
				For a more detailed explanation of eligible costs for projects, please
				reference Appendix A of the DWSIRLF Regulations.
2. Set-aside Accounts:
The set-aside accounts reside under the umbrella of the Fund
				and are distinctly designated by reporting categories. A listing of the
				set-asides taken by Mississippi includes the following:
a. Administrative Set-aside: Provides
			 financial support to administer the loan Program and other non-project-related
			 activities.
b. Small System
			 Technical Assistance Set-aside: Provides technical assistance to small water
			 systems through the current contractual services of the
Community
			 Resources Group
(CRG), Mississippi State University - Extension
			 Service (MSU-ES) and the Mississippi Rural Water Association (MsRWA).
c. State Program Management Set-aside:
			 Provides additional financial support to MSDH - Bureau of Public Water Supply
			 for Public Water System Supervision Program.
d. Local Assistance and Other State Programs:
			 Provides funding for the implementation of a wellhead protection program
			 through current contractual services with the Mississippi Rural Water
			 Association (MsRWA) and Mid-South Water, LLC.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 4 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-4-VIII - Expected Public Health Outcomes & Performance Measures

Current through June 25, 2024
The objective of this program is to disperse all available loan
				and grant funds in a timely manner in order to achieve the public health
				protection benefits resulting from the projects identified in the FFY-2015 IUP,
				and to ensure compliance with loan agreements, as required by state and federal
				laws and regulations.
By implementing the FFY-2015 IUP and funding projects shown on
				the FFY-2015 Priority List (Section VII), the Board will have the means to plan
				for and fund projects that will address the most serious public health risks
				facing the public water supply systems in the state. Funding of the system
				projects will be determined by the amount of funding to be received for
				FFY-2015. If the full Cap grant occurs, the public health protection outcomes
				resulting from the funding of the projects on the priority list will be:
1) two systems will continual projects
			 to upgrade or rehabilitate existing facilities;
2) three systems will become compliant with
			 primary drinking water standards;
3) one system will receive an additional
			 water source;
4) one system will
			 make improvements to improve pressures;
5) five water systems will construct
			 distribution to serve previously un-served areas;
6) two systems will construct back-up water
			 supplies; and
7) one system will
			 replace aging water meters with modern radio read meters.
The success of the DWSIRLF Program will be defined by the
				ability of the MSDH to successfully meet commitments in the FFY-2015 DWSRF Work
				Plan.
Additionally, the majority of the projects as proposed should
				have minimal impact on the environment due to the nature of their design. Where
				necessary, appropriate environmental reviews will occur and proper permitting
				through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality will be required to
				ensure minimal impact on the environment.

Mississippi requests $915,900 of its FFY-2015 DWSRF
				  Capitalization Grant be set-aside for State Program Management (SPM) to support
				  Public Water Supply Supervision (PWSS) activities. To comply with the
				  additional 1:1 match requirement for SPM set-asides, $915,900 in additional
				  state funds will be required. The state will provide an estimated $2,348,727
				  above the state's PWSS match requirement in FFY-2015. This contribution is
				  provided through the collection of Water Quality Analysis Fees by the MSDH
				  Bureau of Public Water Supply. In accordance with Section 1452(g)(2) of the
				  SDWA of 1996, the state claims $915,900 from its FFY-2015 PWSS overmatch as
				  credit to satisfy the $915,900 additional state match required to set-aside
				  $915,900 of its FFY-2015 Capitalization Grant for SPM
				  activities.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 4 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Appendices › Appendix 33-4-J - Drinking Water Systems Emergency Loan Fund Program

Current through June 25, 2024
Section
				  41-3-16,
				  Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended, created the Drinking Water Systems
				  Emergency Loan Fund Program (DWSELF). This program provides loans to counties,
				  municipalities, districts, or other (tax exempt) water organizations for
				  emergency construction, repair, or replacement of drinking water facilities.
				  This entirely state-funded loan program provides a ready funding source for
				  such emergency projects without the federal cross-cutter requirements required
				  in the Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund (DWSIRLF)
				  Program, thereby saving valuable time and expense. This Program eliminates the
				  need to address emergency loans in the DWSIRLF. The Board encourages eligible
				  water organizations throughout the state to utilize this program whenever
				  emergency drinking water projects are needed.
The basic provisions of this program are: 1) a current
				  interest rate of 2.0%; 2) a maximum single loan amount as determined by the
				  Board; 3) a maximum repayment period of five (5) years; and 4) the project must
				  meet the definition of an emergency as established in the program regulations.
				  It is also important to note that loan recipients do not pay interest during
				  the original construction period (capitalized interest), and that loan
				  repayments do not begin until after project completion.
Allowable costs for the project
may
				  not
be incurred prior to the budget period established in the loan
				  agreement, which
may not
begin more than 30 days prior
				  to receipt of the loan application.
Costs for the project will be paid on a reimbursement basis,
				  based upon the actual allowable expenditures of the loan
				  recipient.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 5 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-5-II - Goals of Mississippi's Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund (DWSIRLF) Program

Current through June 25, 2024
The Board has established certain goals for the DWSIRLF
				Program with the objective of improving the Program on an ongoing basis. The
				goals have been classified into three categories that include basic, long-term,
				and short-term. These goals were developed to address the necessary
				requirements of federal and state regulations, as well as the state's need and
				desire to maintain and enhance the Program. Congress and the State of
				Mississippi have placed particular emphasis on assisting smaller drinking water
				systems under the DWSIRLF to ensure that these systems have adequate technical,
				managerial, and financial resources to achieve or maintain compliance and
				provide safe drinking water.
A.
Basic Goals
1. Maintain a
			 financially sound DWSIRLF in perpetuity; meet a portion of the drinking water
			 needs in the state within a reasonable period of time; and fund projects in
			 order of public health importance. Attaining these basic goals will help ensure
			 that Mississippi's drinking water supplies remain safe and affordable, and that
			 those public water systems that receive funding will be properly operated and
			 maintained.
2. Determine the
			 DWSIRLF's yearly interest rate, taking into consideration that it must be
			 competitive with the private sector, as well as with other available funding
			 sources within the state. This will ensure the timely use of available funds,
			 as well as ensure sufficient income is generated to provide for the perpetuity
			 of the Fund. Further details of loan terms and priority ranking are outlined in
			 Sections IV and VI of this IUP.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 5 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-5-III - Structure of the Mississippi DWSIRLF

Current through June 25, 2024
The Mississippi DWSIRLF is structured around three separate
				funds that sustain the Program and help it achieve the basic, short-term, and
				long-term goals. The funds are broken down further into designated accounts,
				each having a specific function.
A.
DWSIRLF Loan/Operations Fund
Monies in the Fund support a majority of the functions of the
				DWSIRLF. These functions include: program administration, set-aside operations,
				and most importantly, provide disbursements to public water systems for
				eligible projects. The DWSIRLF is a reimbursement program, meaning that after
				the loan is awarded, costs associated with planning, designing and constructing
				the project are reimbursed to the recipient. Cap grants from EPA, loan
				repayments and interest earnings are deposited into this Fund.
1. Types of Eligible Projects:
Many types of projects are eligible for funding by the
				Program. For a more detailed explanation of eligible costs for projects, please
				reference Appendix A of the DWSIRLF Regulations.
2. Set-aside Accounts:
The set-aside accounts reside under the umbrella of the Fund
				and are distinctly designated by reporting categories. A listing of the
				set-asides taken by Mississippi includes the following:
a. Administrative Set-aside: Provides
			 financial support to administer the loan Program and other non-project-related
			 activities.
b. Small System
			 Technical Assistance Set-aside: Provides technical assistance to small water
			 systems through the current contractual services with
Communities
			 Unlimited, Inc.,
Mississippi State University - Extension Service
			 (MSU-ES) and the Mississippi Rural Water Association (MsRWA).
c. State Program Management Set-aside:
			 Provides additional financial support to MSDH - Bureau of Public Water Supply
			 for Public Water System Supervision Program.
d. Local Assistance and Other State Programs:
			 Provides funding for the implementation of a wellhead protection program
			 through current contractual services with the Mississippi Rural Water
			 Association (MsRWA) and Mid-South Water, LLC.
Mississippi Administrative Code › Title 33 - Public Health - Local Governments And Rural Water Systems Improvements Board › Part 5 - Drinking Water Systems Improvements Revolving Loan Fund Program Regulations › Section 33-5-VIII - Expected Public Health Outcomes & Performance Measures

Current through June 25, 2024
The objective of this program is to disperse all available
				loan and grant funds in a timely manner in order to achieve the public health
				protection benefits resulting from the projects identified in the FFY-2015 IUP,
				and to ensure compliance with loan agreements, as required by state and federal
				laws and regulations.
By implementing the FFY-2015 IUP and funding projects shown on
				the FFY-2015 Priority List (Section VII), the Board will have the means to plan
				for and fund projects that will address the most serious public health risks
				facing the public water supply systems in the state. Funding of the system
				projects will be determined by the amount of funding to be received for
				FFY-2015. If the full Cap grant occurs, the public health protection outcomes
				resulting from the funding of the projects on the priority list will be:
1) two systems will continual projects to
			 upgrade or rehabilitate existing facilities;
2) three systems will become compliant with primary drinking water
			 standards;
3) one system will
			 receive an additional water source;
4) one system will make improvements to

5) five water
			 systems will construct distribution to serve previously un-served
			 areas;
6) two systems will
			 construct back-up water supplies; and
7) one system will replace aging water meters
			 with modern radio read meters.
The success of the DWSIRLF Program will be defined by the
				ability of the MSDH to successfully meet commitments in the FFY-2015 DWSRF Work
				Plan.
Additionally, the majority of the projects as proposed should
				have minimal impact on the environment due to the nature of their design. Where
				necessary, appropriate environmental reviews will occur and proper permitting
				through the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality will be required to
				ensure minimal impact on the environment.
