85.6 	446A.072 WASTEWATER WATER INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING 
85.7 	PROGRAM.
85.8 		Subdivision 1.Establishment of program. The authority will establish a 
85.9 	wastewater water infrastructure funding program to provide supplemental assistance to 
85.10 	governmental units receiving funding through the clean water revolving fund program, the 
85.11 	drinking water revolving fund program, or the United States Department of Agriculture 
85.12 	Rural Economic and Community Development's (USDA/RECD) Water and Waste 
85.13 	Disposal Loans and Grants program for the predesign, design, and construction of 
85.14 	municipal wastewater treatment and drinking water systems, including purchase of land 
85.15 	and easements. The purpose of the program is to assist governmental units demonstrating 
85.16 	financial need to build cost-effective projects to address existing environmental or public 
85.17 	health problems. To implement the program, the authority shall establish a wastewater 
85.18 	water infrastructure fund to provide grants and loans for the purposes authorized under 
85.19 	title VI of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and the federal Safe Drinking Water 
85.20 	Act. The fund shall be credited with all investment income from the fund and all 
85.21 	repayments of loans, grants, and penalties.
85.22 		Subd. 3.Program administration. (a) The authority shall provide supplemental 
85.23 	assistance, as provided in subdivision 5a to governmental units:
85.24 	(1) whose projects are listed on the Pollution Control Agency's project priority list or 
85.25 	the commissioner of health's project priority list;
85.26 	(2) that demonstrate their projects are a cost-effective solution to an existing 
85.27 	environmental or public health problem; and
85.28 	(3) whose projects are approved by the USDA/RECD or certified by the 
85.29 	commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency or the commissioner of health.
85.30 	(b) For a governmental unit receiving grant funding from the USDA/RECD, 
85.31 	applications must be made to the USDA/RECD with additional information submitted to 
85.32 	the authority as required by the authority. Eligible project costs and affordability criteria 
85.33 	shall be determined by the USDA/RECD.
85.34 	(c) For a governmental unit not receiving grant funding from the USDA/RECD, 
85.35 	application must be made to the authority on forms prescribed by the authority for the 
86.1 	clean water revolving fund program or the drinking water revolving fund program with 
86.2 	additional information as required by the authority. In accordance with section 116.182, 
86.3 	the Pollution Control Agency or the commissioner of health shall:
86.4 	(1) calculate the essential project component percentage based on the portion of 
86.5 	project costs necessary to convey or treat the existing wastewater flows and loadings or, 
86.6 	for drinking water projects, to provide safe drinking water to meet existing needs, which 
86.7 	must be multiplied by the total project cost to determine the eligible project cost for the 
86.8 	program under this section; and
86.9 	(2) review and certify approved projects to the authority.
86.10 	(d) Each fiscal year the authority shall make funds available for projects based on 
86.11 	their ranking on the Pollution Control Agency's project priority list or the commissioner 
86.12 	of health's project priority list. The authority shall reserve funds for a project when 
86.13 	the applicant receives a funding commitment from the United States Department of 
86.14 	Agriculture Rural Development (USDA/RECD) or submits plans and specifications to
86.15 	the project is certified by the Pollution Control Agency or the commissioner of health. 
86.16 	Funds must be reserved in an amount based on the project cost estimate submitted to the 
86.17 	authority prior to the appropriation of the funds and awarded based on the lesser of that 
86.18 	amount or the as-bid cost when the project is certified or the as-bid cost, whichever is less.
86.19 		Subd. 5a.Type and amount of assistance. (a) For a governmental unit receiving 
86.20 	grant funding from the USDA/RECD, the authority may provide assistance in the form 
86.21 	of a grant of up to 65 percent of the eligible grant need determined by USDA/RECD. A 
86.22 	governmental unit may not receive a grant under this paragraph for more than $4,000,000 
86.23 	$5,000,000 per project or $15,000 $20,000 per existing connection, whichever is less, 
86.24 	unless specifically approved by law.
86.25 	(b) For a governmental unit receiving a loan from the clean water revolving fund 
86.26 	under section 446A.07, the authority may provide assistance under this section in the form 
86.27 	of a grant if the average annual residential wastewater system cost after completion of the 
86.28 	project would otherwise exceed 1.4 percent of the median household income of the project 
86.29 	service area. In determining whether the average annual residential wastewater system 
86.30 	cost would exceed 1.4 percent, the authority must consider the total costs associated with 
86.31 	building, operating, and maintaining the wastewater system, including existing wastewater 
86.32 	debt service, debt service on the eligible project cost, and operation and maintenance 
86.33 	costs. Debt service costs for the proposed project are calculated based on the maximum 
86.34 	loan term permitted for the clean water revolving fund loan under section 446A.07, 
86.35 	subdivision 7. The amount of the grant is equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to 
86.36 	reduce the average annual residential wastewater system cost to 1.4 percent of median 
87.1 	household income in the project service area, to a maximum of $4,000,000 $5,000,000 per 
87.2 	project or $15,000 $20,000 per existing connection, whichever is less, unless specifically 
87.3 	approved by law. The eligible project cost is determined by multiplying the total project 
87.4 	costs minus any other grants by the essential project component percentage calculated 
87.5 	under subdivision 3, paragraph (c), clause (1). In no case may the amount of the grant 
87.6 	exceed 80 percent of the eligible project cost.
87.7 	(c) For a governmental unit receiving a loan from the drinking water revolving 
87.8 	fund under section 446A.081, the authority may provide assistance under this section in 
87.9 	the form of a grant if the average annual residential drinking water system cost after 
87.10 	completion of the project would otherwise exceed 1.2 percent of the median household 
87.11 	income of the project service area. In determining whether the average annual residential 
87.12 	drinking water system cost would exceed 1.2 percent, the authority must consider the total 
87.13 	costs associated with building, operating, and maintaining the drinking water system, 
87.14 	including existing drinking water debt service, debt service on the eligible project cost, 
87.15 	and operation and maintenance costs. Debt service costs for the proposed project are 
87.16 	calculated based on the maximum loan term permitted for the drinking water revolving 
87.17 	fund loan under section 446A.081, subdivision 8, paragraph (c). The amount of the grant 
87.18 	is equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to reduce the average annual residential 
87.19 	drinking water system cost to 1.2 percent of median household income in the project 
87.20 	service area, to a maximum of $5,000,000 per project or $20,000 per existing connection, 
87.21 	whichever is less, unless specifically approved by law. The eligible project cost is 
87.22 	determined by multiplying the total project costs minus any other grants by the essential 
87.23 	project component percentage calculated under subdivision 3, paragraph (c), clause (1). In 
87.24 	no case may the amount of the grant exceed 80 percent of the eligible project cost.
87.25 	(c) (d) Notwithstanding the limits in paragraphs (a) and, (b), and (c), for a 
87.26 	governmental unit receiving supplemental assistance under this section after January 1, 
87.27 	2002, if the authority determines that the governmental unit's construction and installation 
87.28 	costs are significantly increased due to geological conditions of crystalline bedrock or karst 
87.29 	areas and discharge limits that are more stringent than secondary treatment, the maximum 
87.30 	award under this section shall not be more than $25,000 per existing connection.
87.31 		Subd. 5b.Special assessment deferral. A governmental unit receiving a loan 
87.32 	under subdivision 5a that levies special assessments to repay the loan under subdivision 
87.33 	5a or section 446A.07 may defer payment of such assessments under the provisions of 
87.34 	sections 435.193 to 435.195.
87.35 		Subd. 6.Disbursements. Disbursements of grants or loans awarded under this 
87.36 	section by the authority to recipients must be made for eligible project costs as incurred by 
88.1 	the recipients, and must be made by the authority in accordance with the project financing 
88.2 	agreement and applicable state and federal laws and rules governing the payments.
88.3 		Subd. 7.Loan repayments. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in section 
88.4 	475.54, subdivision 1, this subdivision shall govern the maturities and mandatory sinking 
88.5 	fund redemptions of the loans under this section. A governmental unit receiving a loan 
88.6 	under this section shall repay the loan in semiannual payment amounts determined by 
88.7 	the authority. The payment amount must be based on the average payments on the 
88.8 	governmental unit's clean water revolving fund loan or, if greater, the minimum amount 
88.9 	required to fully repay the loan by the maturity date. Payments must begin within one year 
88.10 	of the date of the governmental unit's final payment on the clean water revolving fund 
88.11 	loan. The final maturity date of the loan under this section must be no later than 20 years 
88.12 	from the date of the first payment on the loan under this section and no later than 40 years 
88.13 	from the date of the first payment on the clean water revolving fund loan.
88.14 		Subd. 8.Eligibility. A governmental unit is eligible for assistance under this section 
88.15 	only after applying for grant funding from other sources and funding has been obtained, 
88.16 	rejected, or the authority has determined that the potential funding is unlikely.
88.17 		Subd. 9.Funding limitation. Supplemental assistance may not be used to reduce 
88.18 	the sewer service charges of a significant wastewater contributor industrial user that has a 
88.19 	separate service charge agreement with the recipient, or a single user that has caused the 
88.20 	need for the project or whose current or projected flow and load exceed usage exceeds 
88.21 	one-half of the current wastewater treatment plant's or drinking water system capacity.
88.22 		Subd. 11.Report on needs. By February 1 of each even-numbered year, the 
88.23 	authority, in conjunction with the Pollution Control Agency and the commissioner of 
88.24 	health, shall prepare a report to the Finance Division of the senate Environment and 
88.25 	Natural Resources Committee and the house of representatives Environment and Natural 
88.26 	Resources Finance Committee on wastewater and drinking water funding assistance needs 
88.27 	of governmental units under this section.
88.28 		Subd. 12.System replacement fund. Each governmental unit receiving a loan or 
88.29 	grant under this section shall establish a system replacement fund and shall annually 
88.30 	deposit a minimum of $.50 per 1,000 gallons of flow for major rehabilitation or, expansion, 
88.31 	or replacement of the treatment wastewater or drinking water system, or replacement of 
88.32 	the treatment system at the end of its useful life. Money must remain in the account for the 
88.33 	life of the corresponding project loan from the authority or USDA/RECD, unless use of 
88.34 	the fund is approved in writing by the authority for major rehabilitation, expansion, or 
88.35 	replacement of the treatment wastewater or drinking water system. By March 1 each year 
88.36 	during the life of the loan, each recipient shall submit a report to the authority regarding 
89.1 	the amount deposited and the fund balance for the prior calendar year. A recipient is not 
89.2 	required to maintain a fund balance greater than the amount of the grant received. Failure 
89.3 	to comply with the requirements of this subdivision shall result in the authority assessing a 
89.4 	penalty fee to the recipient equal to one percent of the supplemental assistance amount for 
89.5 	each year of noncompliance. Failure to make the required deposit or pay the penalty fee as 
89.6 	required constitutes a default on the loan.
89.7 		Subd. 14.Consistency with land use plans. A governmental unit applying for a 
89.8 	project in an unsewered area shall include in its application to the authority a certification 
89.9 	from the county in which the project is located that:
89.10 	(1) the project is consistent with the county comprehensive land use plan, if the
