N.M. Admin. Code § 19.25.10.9 - WATER PROJECT PROPOSAL, PROCEDURES AND APPROVAL PROCESS
A. The authority
will administer an outreach program to notify qualifying entities that water
project proposals are being accepted to identify water projects for review by
the project review committee and the board for recommendation for funding to
the state legislature as qualifying water projects.
B. The authority will provide forms and
guidelines for water project proposals and financial applications.
C. The authority staff will forward all
completed water project proposals from qualified applicants for qualified water
projects to the project review committee. The project review committee will
consider the water project and may confer with outside parties, including any
local interdisciplinary teams familiar with the water project, as necessary to
obtain more information on the feasibility, merit, and cost of the water
project. The project review committee will make a recommendation to the board
on each water project proposal.
D.
Upon the recommendation of the project review committee, the board will
evaluate the qualifying water projects for recommendation to the
legislature.
E. After completion of
the review process by the project review committee and the board and receipt of
a favorable recommendation on the water project proposal, the water project
will be recommended by the board for approval by the state legislature, which
recommendation and approval are required by Sections
72-4A-5 and
72-4A-9 NMSA 1978.
F. No later than January of each year, the
board will recommend to the legislature a list of projects recommended for
funding. After the legislature authorizes qualifying water projects, the
project review committee will review evaluations of financial applications and
water project proposals prepared by staff and recommend to the board a final
list of projects to be authorized by the board for funding by the authority.
The authority will provide financial assistance for qualifying projects as
authorized by the legislature under policies jointly established by the board
and authority.
