- Mississippi applied for the entire FFY-2016 Cap Grant (All
				  Cap Grant Funds were awarded).
During the 2015 Regular Legislative Session, the State
				  Legislature (House Bill No. 1555) authorized $1,200,000 in direct funding for
				  the DWSRF program; however, in July 2015 due to a shortfall in State funds the
				  authorized $1,200,000 was reduced by $99,520.00 to $1,100,479.80. In January
				  2016, due to a continuing shortfall in State revenue the Governor mandated an
				  additional $18,000 be reduced from the State match funds authorized by the 2015
				  Legislature, this reduced the authorized State match to $1,082,479.80. In March
				  2016, $35,509.77 was returned to the State match funds; in April 2016 an
				  additional $5,180.00 was removed from the State match funds; then in May 2016
				  $64,010.43 was returned to the State match funds. With all the removals and
				  returns the final amount provided by the 2015 State Legislature was
				  $1,176,820.00.
In September 2015, EPA reduced the amount of the FFY-2015
				  Federal Cap Grant to $9,099,000 at the award of the FFY-2015 Cap Grant to
				  comply with Federal debt reduction requirements; therefore, a 2015 State match
				  of only $1,819,800 was needed for the FFY-2015 Cap Grant. The difference
				  between the required 2015 State Match and the available 2015 State Match is
				  $642,980.
To provide the remainder of the required 2015 State Match
				  for the FFY-2015 Cap Grant, the following amounts were available or transferred
				  in 2015 from the Drinking Water Systems Emergency Loan (DWSELF) Fund;
* $2,709 remaining from a DWSELF transfer for the FFY-2014
				  Cap Grant match.
* $728,611.20 transferred from the DWSELF Fund in August
				  2015 for the original FFY-2015 Cap Grant amount match.
* $6,000 transferred from the DWSELF Fund in February 2016
				  after the second reduction in the FFY-2015 Cap Grant match by the State.
The transfers from the Drinking Water Systems Emergency Loan
				  Fund (DWSELF) in 2015 provided an amount of $737,320.20; only $642,980.00 is
				  required, therefore, an amount of $94,340.20 remains to be used as match for
				  the FFY-2016 Capitalization Grant.
During the 2016 Regular Legislative Session, the State
				  Legislature (House Bill No. 1651 Amended) authorized $1,220,000 in direct
				  funding for the DWSRF program. The FFY-2016 EPA Cap Grant amount is $8,607,000;
				  the required State match amount is $1,721,400. In
September 2016 due to a continuing shortfall in State
				  revenue the Governor mandated that the funds authorized by the 2016 Legislature
				  be reduced by $19,834 to $1,200,166. In January 2017 due to the continuing
				  shortfall in State revenue the Governor mandated a second reduction in the
				  amount of $17,746; this reduced the available State funds to $1,182,420. In
				  February 2017 due to the continuing shortfall in State revenue the Governor
				  mandated a third reduction in the amount of $17,727; this reduced the available
				  State funds to $1,164,693. In March 2017 due to the continuing shortfall in
				  State revenue the Governor mandated a fourth reduction in the amount of $5,569;
				  this reduced the available State funds to $1,159,124. With $94,340.20 remaining
				  from the match funds for the FFY-2015 EPA Cap Grant, an additional $467,935.80
				  will be needed as State match for the FFY-2016 Capitalization Grant. In January
				  2017 the Board authorized the use of an additional $500,000 from DWSELF as the
				  State match; an amount of $32,064.20 will remain to be used as match for the
				  FFY-2017 Capitalization Grant.
In 2017 the State Legislature did not provide a direct
				  appropriation for the 20% State match ($1,706,800) for the FFY-2017 EPA
				  Capitalization Grant ($8,534,000); therefore, the Board will be requested to
				  authorized the use of additional funds from DWSELF and/or other sources as the
				  State match. With the $32,064.20 remaining from 2017, an additional
				  $1,674,735.80 will be required as match for the FFY-2017 Capitalization
				  Grant.
