Rowan County received allocated funding from the state (reference: SL 2022-74) in the amount of $1,900,000, to be administered by the NC Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Infrastructure (DEQ). The Board of Commissioners originally approved the County to accept the funding on 8/15/22, however DEQ has determined that the original proposed project is not eligible and has requested that a revised Request for Funding be submitted. Therefore, Rowan County has identified an alternate project, Lead Remediation for NE Rowan Water System.
Performance period for this appropriation is from 3/3/21-12/31/24, with past costs eligible for reimbursement as determined by DEQ. This directed grant is authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and is therefore subject to ARPA requirements.
Recommendation:
Approve the County Manager to sign and have submitted the "Revised Request for Funding SL 2022-74 Appropriated Projects."
