A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA CLEAN WATER REVOLVING LOAN AND GRANT FUND.
Whereas, the General Assembly established the North Carolina Clean Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund in 1987 to receive available federal wastewater assistance funds and appropriated State funds; and
Whereas, federal law requires a 20% State match for the $34,000,000 in federal wastewater funds expected to be available to North Carolina in fiscal year 1993-94; and
Whereas, many communities have benefitted from low-interest loans and supplemental grants for essential water and wastewater improvement projects, but the statewide needs far outstrip the available funding assistance; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources the sum of six million eight hundred thousand dollars ($6,800,000) for the 1993-94 fiscal year for the North Carolina Clean Water Revolving Loan and Grant Fund.
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 1993.
