SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Each year, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) solicits “Letters of Interest” (LOIs) from entities providing drinking water and wastewater services, to establish a
statewide priority list for planning grants and State Revolving Fund construction loans. Planning grants provide up to 50% of the cost of developing a facility plan and environmental
information document in preparation for project design and construction for wastewater or drinking water systems.
The McCall Sewer Department wishes to undertake a winter storage pond groundwater study, and to apply for an IDEQ planning grant to help fund the project. SPF Water Engineering has
provided a scope of work to include site visits, monitoring of existing wells, winter storage pond and groundwater monitoring, groundwater investigation report, develop potential pond
seepage management options,design monitoring well network improvements, and prepare an Environmental Information Document for the potential improvements.
LOI applications are due January 3, 2014 and announcement of funding is expected by June, 2014. The project would take place in FY15 and matching funds from the Sewer Department would
be programmed in the FY15 budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a FY15 Letter of Interest application to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality for a wastewater planning grant and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary
documents.
