Approval of the State Fiscal Year 2012 Clean Water State Revolving Fund
Intended Use Plan
Issue: Approval of the State Fiscal Year 2012 Clean Water State Revolving Fund
(CWSRF) Intended Use Plan (IUP)
Background: The draft State Fiscal Year 2012 CWSRF IUP was presented to you in a
hearing at your March meeting. Comments were solicited for revisions to the final IUP.
As indicated during the hearing, the Fundable Project List has been revised to reflect the
current readiness to proceed status of several projects.
The available funds for State Fiscal Year 2012 total $199,539,280. Projects that meet the
readiness to proceed criteria exceed the available funds. Therefore, a Fundable
Contingency List was created. Projects are shown in priority point order and will be
funded as funds become available.
Recommended Action: The Program recommends that the Commission approve the
State Fiscal Year 2012 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan as revised.
Suggested Motion Language: "I move that the Clean Water Commission approve the
State Fiscal Year 2012 Clean Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan as
presented today."

STATE FISCAL YEAR 2012
CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND
INTENDED USE PLAN
Introduction
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Water Protection Program (WPP) is the
delegated authority for the administration of federal funds made available to the state under the
provisions of the Clean Water Act by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The
funds are for financing a variety of eligible projects and are to be used in perpetuity for low
interest loans made from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).
References throughout this document to the "Commission" and the "department" refer to the
Missouri Clean Water Commission and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources,
respectively.
The department is given authority by the state legislature to administer several related state -
funded grant and loan programs.
This document contains the Intended Use Plan (IUP) and priority fists for the CWSRF program
and a listing of the CWSRF program applicants. In November 2007, $50 million in State Water
Pollution Control Bonds were sold to fund the State Grant and Loan Programs. These funds
have been committed to projects. It is not known at this time when additional State Grant and
Loan Program funding may become available.
Operation and management of the CWSRF program are directed by regulations 10 CSR 20-
4.010 through 10 CSR 20-4.020 and 10 CSR 20-4.040 through 10 CSR 20-4.050.
Intended Use Plan
This I U P contains information regarding the development and management of the CWSRF
priority lists and assurances mandated by federal rules. The IUP details the proposed
distribution of Missouri's anticipated CWSRF Capitalization Grants, the repayments of
previously awarded SRF loans, and the interest earnings from the repayment account deposits
for the upcoming fiscal year.
CWSRF Applications and Project Priority
The department solicits applications for the State's Revolving Fund program throughout each
year. Applications for assistance are prioritized in accordance with the Construction Grant and
Loan Priority System, 10 CSR 20-4.010. State Regulation establishes November 15th as the
annual submittal deadline for applications to participate in the programs during any fiscal year.
However, applications will be accepted and processed at any time. Potential Applicants are
strongly encouraged to contact the department prior to submitting an application.
Except for projects funded solely through the CWSRF, all applicants anticipating the use of
other state/federal funds must complete a Missouri Water and Wastewater Review Committee
(MWWRC) project proposal. The applicant should contact the MWWRC for a complete project
proposal package. The MWWRC agencies include:

State regulation 10 CSR 20-4.040 establishes that applications are valid for two IUP cycles or
"years". Those projects not meeting program criteria within the allotted two-year cycle will have
their allocated funds released and reallocated to other projects. Re -application to the program
is possible at the end of the two-year cycle, but a project's position on a fundable, contingency,
or planning lists may change with each subsequent application.
Project applications listed in this IUP are separated into two groups, carryover and new.
Projects that were listed as "Fundable New Projects" in the previous IUP are placed on the
"Fundable Carryover Projects" list for SFY 2012. All remaining projects are evaluated and
priority points are assigned in accordance with 10 CSR 20-4.010. Projects are placed on the
fundable, fundable contingency, contingency or planning lists based upon their priority paints,
their progress towards meeting funding eligibility criteria, and availability of adequate monies.
Staff will closely monitor each applicant's progress towards funding eligibility and may shift
projects between the lists.
Bypassing Projects
As funds become depleted, staff will present recommendations to the commission to fund or
bypass an applicant's project. Projects failing to progress towards fundable status are subject
to funding "bypass". A project with fewer priority points may bypass a project with a higher
priority point ranking that is failing to make sufficient advancement towards funding eligibility.
Recommendations to the Commission to fund or bypass a project may be made at any
commission meeting throughout the fiscal year. Applicants whose projects are recommended
for bypass or funding will be notified prior to the commission meeting when their projects appear
on the agenda and will be allowed time to present their points of view regarding the proposed
change in project status.
Readiness to Proceed
A CWSRF project's readiness to proceed is based upon two criteria; acceptable debt instrument
and the submittal of a complete facility plan. A facility plan submittal checklist is included with
the CWSRF application form. Potential CWSRF applicants are strongly encouraged to obtain a
water quality review sheet/anti-degradation report from the department before initiating facility
planning activities. Facility plans that are submitted to the department without the appropriate
2

water quality review sheet/anti-degradation report and the Facility Plan Submittal Checklist will
be deemed incomplete. Incomplete facility plans will delay proposed projects and, ultimately,
project funding.
A summary of each program, beginning on page 19, is included with its fundable, contingency
and planning lists.

CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND
SFY 2012 INTENDED USE PLAN
I. Background
Each year as required by Title VI of the Clean Water Act, Missouri prepares an IUP that
identifies the projected uses of and serves as a basis for distribution of the monies available in
its CWSRF.
During SFY 2012 the State of Missouri expects to be awarded the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY)
2011 capitalization grant for the CWSRF program. The anticipated grant amount is
$18,500,000. The federal funds will be matched with 20% state funds from the proceeds of
state Environmental Improvement and Energy Resources Authority (EIERA) bond sales.
Applications for assistance are considered based upon the priority ranking criteria contained in
10 CSR 20-4.010. When applications exceed the funds available, projects are listed in priority
point order. In order to recognize the efforts of CWSRF applicants to complete their proposed
wastewater infrastructure projects, the funding lists consider an applicant's readiness to
proceed, in addition to their priority paint ranking.
Project Lists
• Fundable Carryover Projects List — The commission shall maintain a carryover list identifying
unfunded projects approved for funding in the prior SFY. These projects shall maintain their
funding eligibility in the current SFY.
• Fundable Projects List — The fundable list identifies those projects that the commission
intends to fund during a given SFY. The commission will not consider placing a proposed
project on the fundable list unless the Facility Plan Submittal Checklist is submitted with the
facility plan and items one through four on the list are completed. Prior to completion and
submittal of a facility plan, the applicant is strongly encouraged to obtain a water quality
review from the department. An entity seeking to have a project placed on the Fundable List
must have submitted a complete facility plan and information indicating that the public entity
has an appropriate debt instrument in place. A debt instrument includes, but is not limited to
general obligation bonds and revenue bonds.
• Fundable Contingency Projects List — Identifies projects meeting all programmatic criteria to
receive funds. This list is created due to insufficient available funds. Projects will be listed in
priority point order regardless of the date which all programmatic criteria are met.
• Contingency Projects List — The contingency project list identifies those projects which may
be considered for funding during a given fiscal year if unanticipated or uncommitted funds
become available. Projects will not be considered for the contingency list unless a facility
plan/engineering report has been submitted for review.
• Planning List -- The planning list identifies all potential loan projects not contained on a
fundable priority list. Planning list projects may advance to the contingency or fundable lists,
with Commission approval, and the successful completion of the listing criteria: voter
passage of bond issues or approval of alternate debt instruments, and submission of a
complete facility plan.
