On October 14, 2014, Eastern Shore Solar LLC (Eastern Shore Solar) submitted a notice of intent (NOI) to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for a small solar energy project. In accordance with 9VAC15-60-30 A 1 of the Small Renewable Energy Projects (Solar) Permit by Rule regulation, a NOI is to be submitted to DEQ and is to be published in the Virginia Register as notification that Eastern Shore Solar intends to submit the necessary documentation for a permit by rule for a small renewable solar energy project pursuant to 9VAC15-60.

Proposed Project: Eastern Shore Solar is proposing a small solar energy project consisting of four subprojects. Each subproject will have a maximum capacity of 20 megawatts alternating current (AC), for a total combined maximum capacity of 80 megawatts (MW) AC.

Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund - FY2015 Priority List

Introduction: Section 606(c) of the Water Quality Act of 1987 requires the Commonwealth to develop an annual plan that identifies the intended uses of its Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund and to prepare a list of projects targeted for financial assistance with those funds. Following public comment and final board action, the list of targeted projects for financial assistance becomes the Commonwealth's yearly Clean Water Revolving Loan Fund Project Priority List.

Funds Available: The federal appropriation for the nation's Clean Water State Revolving Funds for FY 2015 has not been approved yet but Virginia's share is expected to be in the range of $20 million. State matching appropriations, along with the accumulation of moneys through loan repayments and prepayments, interest earnings, and de-allocations from leverage accounts should make an additional $70 million available for funding new projects. These funds, in accumulation, will result in at least $90 million becoming available during the 2015 funding cycle.

FY 2015 Program Development: On May 30, 2014, the staff solicited applications from the Commonwealth's localities and wastewater authorities as well as potential land conservation applicants and Brownfield remediation clientele. July 18, 2014, was established as the deadline for receiving applications. Based on this solicitation, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received 15 wastewater improvement applications requesting $60,901,278; eight applications for land conservation projects (totaling $21,869,300); and one stormwater management application for an additional $1,195,000, bringing the total amount requested to $83,965,578.

All 15 wastewater applications were evaluated in accordance with the program's funding distribution criteria. In keeping with the program objectives and funding prioritization criteria, the staff reviewed project type and impact on state waters, the locality's compliance history and fiscal stress, and the project's readiness-to-proceed. The eight land conservation applications were reviewed using the board's land conservation loan funding prioritization criteria and the staff also received input from the Department of Conservation and Recreation in accordance with the board's guidelines and state law. The one stormwater application was reviewed in accordance with the board's priority ranking criteria for stormwater projects. The list of applications is shown below by project type in priority funding order based on the board's prioritization criteria. All applications are considered to be of good quality and should provide significant water quality and environmental improvement.

Based on these considerations, on September 29, 2014, the board approved the staff recommendation to authorize funding for $83,965,578 for all 24 projects as shown below.

Public Participation: The board is presenting its draft list of targeted FY 2015 loan recipients for public review and comment. A public meeting will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12, 2014, in the Department of Environmental Quality's 2nd Floor Conference Room, 629 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219. The public review and comment period will end immediately following the public meeting. Comments or questions should be directed to the following contact: Walter Gills, Department of Environmental Quality, Clean Water Financing and Assistance Program, 629 East Main Street, P.O. Box 1105, Richmond, VA 23218, telephone [phone], or email [e-mail]. Written comments should include the name, address, and telephone number of the presenter.
