Ariz. Admin. Code § R18-15-204 - Clean Water Revolving Fund Project Priority List Ranking
A. The Authority shall rank each project on
the Clean Water Revolving Fund Project Priority List based on the total points
of each project. The Authority shall consider the following categories to
determine the total points of each project:
1.
The Authority shall evaluate the current conditions of the project, including
existing environmental, structural, and regulatory integrity and the degree to
which the project is consistent with the Clean Water Act,
33 U.S.C.
1251 to
1387.
2. The Authority shall evaluate the degree to
which the project improves or protects water quality.
3. The Authority shall evaluate the degree to
which the project addresses water or energy efficiency or environmentally
innovative approaches.
4. The
Authority shall evaluate the degree to which the project promotes any of the
following:
a. Consolidation of facilities,
operations, and ownership;
b.
Extending service to existing areas currently served by another facility;
or
c. A regional approach to
operations, management, or new facilities.
5. The Authority shall determine whether the
project received assistance from the Authority in a previous funding
cycle.
6. The Authority shall
evaluate the applicant's local fiscal capacity.
B. Two or more projects may receive the same
total points. If sufficient clean water revolving loan funds are not available
to fund the projects, the Authority shall give priority to the project with the
highest current condition score under subsection (A)(1). If projects remain
tied, priority will be given to the project with the highest water quality
improvement score under subsection (A)(2). If projects remain tied, this
process shall continue through the categories under subsections (A)(3) through
(6), sequentially. If projects continue to have the same total points, the
Board shall determine the priority of the tied projects.
C. The Authority shall determine the subsidy
for each project on the Clean Water Revolving Fund Project Priority List based
on the applicant's local fiscal capacity score under subsection (A)(6) and the
total points of the project. The Authority shall incorporate the subsidy in the
financial assistance agreement.
