Wisconsin Administrative Code › Department of Natural Resources › NR 100-199 - Environmental Protection General › Chapter NR 193 - Surface Water Grant Program › Subchapter I - General Provisions › Section NR 193.07 - Grantee match

Current through June 24, 2024
(1) The grantee shall pay the grantee match
				  for a grant awarded under this chapter using funds not provided by the
				  department. The minimum grantee match shall amount to the percentage of the
				  total project cost that is specified in Table 1 under s. NR 193.05. The grantee
				  shall confer with the department if the grantee match includes federal funds or
				  other state funds to determine applicability as grantee match.
(2)
(a)
				  Eligible sources of grantee match may be cash or in-kind contributions. Cash
				  match may include cash from the grantee; funds generated by local,
				  non-department state or federal governments; and grants or contributions from
				  foundations, businesses, private individuals or nonprofit organizations.
				  In-kind contributions shall otherwise be eligible expenses under the awarded
				  grant subprogram and shall conform to the requirements of expense eligibility
				  for that particular subprogram, except as indicated under subd. 6. In-kind
				  contributions may include any of the following:
1. Labor from grantee staff established by
				  grantee time sheets including salary, hourly wages, fringe benefits, and other
				  costs determined by the department to be appropriate for the direct
				  implementation and administration of the project.
2. Donated labor from volunteers, the maximum
				  value of which is established by the department and included in the Surface
				  Water Grant Program Guidance available on the Surface Water Grant Program
				  website. Volunteers shall be at least 14 years of age in order for their time
				  to be eligible as match.
Note:
For a county conducting a project
					 requiring compliance with U.S. department of agriculture natural resources
					 conservation service standards, the value of donated labor rate in that county
					 may be established by the U.S. department of agriculture farm service
					 agency.
3. Donated
				  professional services with the value determined in writing by the donor on
				  donor letterhead.
4. Donated
				  supplies or construction materials, with the value determined in writing by the
				  donor.
5. Donated equipment, with
				  the equipment purchase and rental value determined by the WisDOT's Classified
				  Equipment Rates Standard and Special Rated Units for highway equipment. If the
				  item donated does not appear on the WisDOT's Classified Equipment Rates
				  Standard and Special Rated Units document, the applicant shall determine the
				  value of donations using one of the following methods:
a. By choosing the closest equipment
				  equivalent from WisDOT's Classified Equipment Rates Standard and Special Rated
				  Units for highway equipment. Where the WisDOT's Classified Equipment Rates
				  Standard and Special Rated Units for highway equipment lists "rate set
				  locally," the department may determine a rate as published in the Surface Water
				  Grant Program Guidance.
b. By
				  determining the current market value using at least 3 estimates for purchase of
				  equipment from vendors within the vicinity of the project. The lowest estimate
				  will be used to establish the value of donated equipment. The applicant shall
				  submit copies of all estimates with the grant application and the grantee shall
				  maintain copies of estimates in the grantee's project file.
c. By determining the daily market rental
				  rate at the time of application. The applicant shall establish the daily market
				  rental rate using at least 3 estimates for the daily rental rate of equipment
				  from vendors within the vicinity of the project. The lowest estimate will be
				  used to establish the value of donated equipment use, prorated to reflect the
				  number of hours of actual use.
Example:
Presume the daily market rate for
					 renting a trailer is $60 every 8 hours, and the project requires 2 hours of
					 use. The donated value for the trailer rental would amount to $15.

Note:
An applicant shall use the version of
					 the WisDOT's Classified Equipment Rates Standard and Special Rated Units for
					 highway equipment in effect in the year in which the equipment usage occurred.
					 The rates for equipment may be obtained from the Wisconsin department of
					 transportation. See the department's Surface Water Grant Program website for
					 the current Wisconsin department of transportation's Classified Equipment Rates
					 published in the State Highway Maintenance Manual.
6. Eligible costs associated with a
				  watercraft inspection project as outlined in s. NR 193.63 if the costs are used
				  as grantee match for Education grants and Lake, River and AIS Planning grants.
				  Watercraft inspection costs funded in part with state dollars are not eligible
				  sources of grantee match.
7. Other
				  costs determined by the department to be necessary to carry out a successful
				  project.
