What’s next? Finalization of the Preferred Plan based on

feedback received Adoption of the plan by Fayette County

Planning Commission and Fayette County Commission as the official wastewater plan of the county

Secure funding for prioritized projects (availability and suitability of funding sources may affect implementation schedule)

Implementation Steps Filing of the plan with the West Virginia Infrastructure

Council as a pre-application for acceptance for technical feasibility

Formal application through IJDC for the initial, selected projects, with local recommendation of funding sources

Follow-up with the agencies recommended by IJDC Filing of individual funding applications made by

Region 4 Planning and Development Council in consultation with the Fayette County Resource Coordinator

Funding Sources

Grants Loans Increased rates Water quality protection fee

Funding Sources State Revolving Loan Fund HUD Small Cities Block Grant Appalachian Regional Commission Special appropriation request through Congress Rural Utility Service Army Corps of Engineers Funds from a private purveyor of wastewater

treatment services interested in an O&M contract on the system

Local bond issue using the Tax Increment Financing Statute or Industrial Development Bond Statute

Funding Issues

Affordability and willingness to pay must be considered

Need for rate increases for “rainy day funding” for repair/replacement

Need for wastewater fee for unsewered areas = business opportunity for PSDs/ municipalities

Business Opportunities

Sludge handling Shared equipment Consolidation of processing

Technical, management, and financial assistance/sharing of skills & resources

Septage pumping Onsite systems management Alternatives to proposed sewering

projects

Opportunities for Action Now

Enabling legislation for onsite system management

Creation of RME for new development
