Replacement Project, which was first designed in 2019. The City must submit the complete
application to TWDB by August 26,2025.
Budget Impact:
The project is eligible for $16,500,520 TWDB funding. The project has been identified as
eligible for principal forgiveness.However,principal forgiveness is subject to the availability of
funds. The loan portion of the financial assistance must include the 2%loan origination fee. The
funding appropriation will be required upon award.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve PR No. 24459, authorizing the City Manager
to submit the application for grant funding as discussed and/or outlined above.

Please note that TWDB records indicate that one or more issues of debt covenant
noncompliance presently exist with your organization and could affect the ability to
successfully apply for and receive funding from TWDB. Noncompliance with existing TWDB
debt covenants may result in special conditions being added to future debt covenants for
financial assistance received from the TWDB. In some cases, applications for financial
assistance may be rejected if noncompliance is not appropriately addressed. Prior to any
new applications being considered for review, either compliance with existing TWDB debt
covenants must be restored, or a corrective action plan must be adopted which is
acceptable to the TWDB Executive Administrator. Please contact our Financial Compliance
staff by email at fmfinancetwdb.texas.gov with any questions regarding the resolution of
your organization's noncompliance items.
Emergency Preparedness Funding Option
For SFY 2022, $75,000 per project is available as principal forgiveness for the
preparation of an emergency preparedness evaluation/audit plan that determines future
needs to ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory standards of emergency
operations that directly affect operation of a water system during an extended power
outage caused by severe weather that impacts the system. You are encouraged to
include funds for these activities in your application if interested, even if they were not
reflected in the project costs at the time the Project Information Form (PIF) was
submitted.
Asset Management Funding Option
If you indicated in your PIF that you will be preparing an asset management plan as part
of your project, you may be eligible for up to $100,000 in loan funding with an interest
rate of 0% to prepare the plan under the DWSRF Program. Please include the asset
management plan in your project scope and ensure funds for these activities are specified
in your application budget.

highly encourage you to engage these consultants prior to submitting the
application and follow the DBE requirements (equivalency only) if you seek to
fund their work using SRF monies.
• Be sure any changes to the project amount are reflected in both the Intent to
Apply Form and the application budget.
• For bond purposes only, TWDB SRF loan amounts must be rounded up to the
nearest $5,000. Please round up any loan numbers in the application budget and
confirm the dollar amounts with your TWDB project team before passing
resolutions to minimize adjustment during the review period.
We look forward to working with the City of Port Arthur on its SRF project and are
committed to providing excellent customer service and prompt responses to any
questions as you complete your application. Should you have any questions or
concerns, please contact Heather O'Keefe, Team Lead SRF General Activities, by

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 4
I. Overview
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) assists communities by providing below
market-rate financing and various levels of principal forgiveness for a wide range of projects
that facilitate compliance with primary drinking water standards or otherwise significantly
further the health protection objectives of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The
program provides year-round funding of water projects after they have been included in the
Intended Use Plan.
For State Fiscal Year(SFY) 2022, at least $150 million is available under the DWSRF for all
financing options including $30 million in principal forgiveness. Of the total amount available,
at least$120 million will be offered at subsidized interest rates or at zero percent for special
funding categories. These savings directly lower the overall cost of providing safe,
affordable water to every customer.
The $150,000,000 level for SFY 2022 will be allocated to the following funding options:
Funding Option Allocation
Disadvantaged Community—as Principal Forgiveness $16,000,000
Disadvantaged Community—for Small / Rural only—as $2,000,000
Principal Forgiveness
Subsidized Green (incl. Water Conservation) —as Principal $2,000,000
Forgiveness
Very Small Systems—as Principal Forgiveness $2,000,000
Very Small Systems—"Securing Safe Water Initiative—as $1,000,000
Principal Forgiveness
Emergency Preparedness- for Severe Weather— as
Principal Forgiveness $3,000,000
Urgent Need —"Securing Safe Water" Initiative/Contaminants $2,000,000
(Lead, Radionuclides, Arsenic) —as Principal Forgiveness
Urgent Need —Other than Contaminants (Disasters, etc.) —as $2,000,000
Principal Forgiveness
Bonds/Loans $120,000,000
Total $150,000,000
II. Purpose
In 1996 Congress passed federal amendments to the SDWA that established the DWSRF
program. The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) is authorized by state law to
administer this program for Texas.
The TWDB is the financing agency for the DWSRF and has a contractual relationship with
the state's primacy agency, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), to
perform DWSRF activities. TCEQ performs DWSRF activities that include rating proposed
projects, state program management, small systems technical assistance, assessments for
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 5
ground water sources, source water technical assistance, sanitary surveys, complaint
investigations, enforcement activities, disaster assistance, and implementation of the State
of Texas approved Capacity Development Strategy.
Annually, the State must prepare an Intended Use Plan (IUP) that describes how it intends
to use DWSRF program funds to support the overall goals of the program. The IUP must
contain a number of elements required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
covering the operation of the DWSRF and is a central component of the TWDB's application
to EPA for the capitalization grant.
The IUP contains the state's priority list of projects to receive funding under the DWSRF.
This list is subdivided further into an Initial Invited Projects List (Appendix K), which
represents the projects that will be invited to submit applications after Board approval of the
IUP. Applications for funding under this SFY 2022 IUP will be accepted based on invitation
only until the program reaches funding capacity or the SFY 2023 IUP is approved.
Ill. Projects to Fund
A. Eligible Applicants
Applicants eligible to apply for assistance are:
• Existing community Public Water Systems (PWSs) including political subdivisions,
nonprofit water supply corporations and privately-owned community water systems
• Non-profit, non-community public water systems
• State agencies
B. Eligible and Ineligible Use of Funds
1. Examples of eligible project costs include planning, acquisition, design, and
construction of projects to:
• Correct water system deficiencies including water quality, capacity, pressure, and
water loss
• Upgrade or replace water systems
• Provide new or existing water service to other water systems through
consolidation projects
• Purchase capacity in water systems
• Purchase water systems
• Implement green projects (pursuant to EPA guidance)
• Implement source water protection projects

All projects funded through the DWSRF must be consistent with the most
recently adopted TWDB State Water Plan.
2. Examples of ineligible project costs include:
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 6
• Projects primarily intended to facilitate growth
• Water rights, unless owned by a system being purchased through consolidation
• Construction of reservoirs
• Dams or rehabilitation of dams
• Projects for systems in significant noncompliance, unless funding will ensure
compliance
• Projects for systems that lack adequate financial, managerial, and/or technical
(FMT) capability, unless assistance will ensure compliance
• Routine laboratory fees or ongoing operational expenses
• Fire protection projects (unless incidental to the main project scope)
IV. Significant Program Changes
Significant program changes from the previous year's IUP are highlighted below.
1. As mentioned in the published SFY 2022 Project Information Form (PIF) Guidance,
establishment of a new interest rate reduction methodology. The interest rate will be
a percentage reduction from the Thomson Reuters Municipal Market Data (MMD)
rate adjusted for yield to maturity that is applicable to the entity's rating, with non-
rated entities using the Baa rate, as follows:
(a) Equivalency projects: 35% reduction
(b) Non-Equivalency projects: 30% reduction (Sections V and X).
2. Emergency Preparedness—for Severe Weather—allocation of$3,000,000 in
principal forgiveness for the preparation of an emergency preparedness
evaluation/audit plan. Entities could receive funding to determine compliance with
statutory and regulatory standards of emergency operations that directly affect
operation of a public water system during an extended power outage from severe
weather that impacts the system. The maximum amount available for a public water
system is $75,000. The evaluation/audit must be submitted to TWDB (Section VI).
V. Amount Available
1. Allocations
Texas is eligible for a federal capitalization grant from funds appropriated by Congress
for Federal Fiscal Year(FFY) 2021. The TWDB will use the grant, along with other
available sources of funds, to offer up to $150,000,000 for projects in this SFY 2022 IUP.
The sources of funds include the FFY 2021 capitalization grant, state match, principal
and interest repayments from financial assistance, investment earnings, additional cash
resources, and if demand warrants, the net proceeds from bond issues.
The DWSRF program offers subsidized interest rates and additional subsidization in the
form of principal forgiveness. Principal forgiveness funds are not considered "grant"
funds under Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 nor the Texas Grant
Management Standards found at Texas Government Code Title 17 Chapter 783. The
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 7
principal forgiveness is offered to eligible disadvantaged communities, very small
systems, urgent need projects, and green projects. Throughout the IUP, this principal
forgiveness may be referred to as Additional Subsidization, Disadvantaged Community
funding, including Disadvantaged Community funding for Small/ Rural only, Subsidized
Green funding, Very Small Systems funding, Emergency Preparedness or Urgent Need
funding.

3. Interest rate reduction methodology:
The interest rate will be a percentage reduction from the Thomson Reuters Municipal Market
Data (MMD) rate adjusted for yield to maturity that is applicable to the entity's rating, with
non-rated entities using the Baa rate, as follows:
(a) Equivalency projects: 35% reduction
(b) Non-Equivalency projects: 30% reduction
Exclusions from the interest rate reduction methodology- the interest rate reduction
methodology does not apply to any portion of financing that is offered at zero percent. The
full benefit of the zero percent financing under the respective special funding option will be
incorporated into the total of the maturities for bonds or the total loan payments for loans.

VI. Funding Options and Terms
The DWSRF has two tiers of funding: Equivalency projects and Non-Equivalency projects.
Equivalency projects (Federal Requirements) -A portion of the DWSRF funded projects
must follow all federal requirements commonly known as"cross-cutters". This type of
financial assistance is referred to broadly as"Equivalency". A portion of the available
Equivalency funds may be reserved for projects receiving Additional Subsidization. More
information on the federal cross-cutters may be found in Appendix E.
Non-Equivalency projects (State Requirements) - Non-Equivalency projects are not
subject to federal cross-cutter requirements, with the exception of the federal anti-
discrimination laws, also known as the "super cross-cutters".
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 10
1. Funding Options Available:
Entities listed on the Initial Invited Projects List (IIPL) and subsequent Project Priority
Lists (PPLs) may be invited to apply for one or more of the funding options.
a. Disadvantaged Community Funding (Equivalency only)
For an entity to qualify as a disadvantaged community, the community must meet the
DWSRF's affordability criteria based on income, unemployment rates, and
population trends. In summary, the Annual Median Household Income (AMHI) of the
entity's area to be served must be less than or equal to 75 percent of the State's
AMHI and the Household Cost Factor that considers income, unemployment rates,
and population trends must be greater than or equal to 1 percent if only water or
sewer service is provided or greater than or equal to 2 percent if both water and
sewer service are provided. The percent of principal forgiveness is based on the
difference between the calculated and minimum required household cost factors.
The maximum principal forgiveness as a percentage of DWSRF-funded project costs
remaining after subtracting other DWSRF principal forgiveness is provided in the
following table:
Principal Forgiveness as a % of
Household Cost Factor Difference DWSRF-funded project costs
remaining after subtracting other
DWSRF principal forgiveness
>_ 0% and < 1.5% 30%
>_ 1.5% and < 3% 50%
3% 70%
This funding option offers a financial assistance component with the interest rate
subsidy and 30 percent, 50 percent, or 70 percent of the DWSRF-funded project cost
in principal forgiveness. TWDB will calculate the Disadvantaged Communities
principal forgiveness amount based on the amount of State Revolving Fund (SRF)-
funded project costs remaining after subtracting all other DWSRF principal
forgiveness funding being provided in SFY 2022 to the proposed project. (As an
option at TWDB's discretion, if the DWSRF loan portion would be less than
$100,000, the entity may reduce the amount of DWSRF funds requested by the
amount of the loan portion and the Disadvantaged Communities percentage
calculation will be based on the amount of DWSRF-funded costs before other
DWSRF program principal forgiveness amounts are subtracted from the total
requested. Similarly, at TWDB's discretion for projects receiving Urgent Need funds
and determined necessary to enhance feasibility and other considerations, the
Disadvantaged Communities percentage calculation will be based on the amount of
DWSRF-funded costs before other DWSRF program principal forgiveness amounts
are subtracted from the total requested.) The maximum repayment period is 30
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 11
years. The origination fee will not be applied to project costs that are funded with
principal forgiveness. Additional information may be found in Appendix D.
Maximum Allocation to Any Entity in SFY 2022
Not more than 25 percent of the total regular Disadvantaged Community allocation,
or $4,000,000, may be provided to any particular entity for their projects in the SFY
2022 IUP, with one exception. If the Household Cost Factor in excess of the base
(i.e., the HCF difference) for an entity's project is greater than 5 percent, the
maximum amount provided would be not more than 33 percent of the total regular
Disadvantaged Community allocation, or $5,280,000.
The Household Cost Factor will be established based on the PIF, and associated
Disadvantaged Community worksheets and income information, submitted by the
PIF deadline for inclusion in the IUP.
b. Disadvantaged Community Funding —Small / Rural only (Equivalency only)
An entity qualified as a disadvantaged community and that additionally meets the
definition of either a small community or a rural project may receive funding under
this option. The entity must submit to TWDB acceptable evidence that it meets the
qualification criteria to be eligible for this funding option.
Small Community—an entity serving a population of not more than 10,000.
Rural project— a project that fits any of the following:
i. An entity that provides services predominately in a rural area. Using the U.S.
Bureau of the Census definitions of a rural area, not more than 20 percent of the
residential service connections are in urbanized areas and not more than 50
percent are in urban clusters according to the most recent data available to
TWDB. The calculation will be based on the utility service(s) associated with the
proposed project;
ii. A project from a political subdivision with a population of 10,000 or less and
located outside the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a city with a population of
500,000 or greater; or
iii. A project in a county in which no urban political subdivision exceeds 50,000 in
population based upon the most current data available from the U.S. Bureau of
the Census or TWDB-approved projections.
Amount of Funding available as Principal Forgiveness and a 0% Loan
Entities may be eligible to receive 100 percent of the total project cost in principal
forgiveness up to the amount specified in the chart below. The maximum amount of
principal forgiveness that an entity may receive per project is based on eligibility for
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 12
Disadvantaged Community funding as described in Appendix D.
If eligible project costs that would have qualified for this option exceed the maximum
principal forgiveness allowable or available for the project, the entity may receive
funding with an interest rate of zero percent up to the limits established in the chart
below.
Disadvantaged Maximum Amount of Maximum Amount of 0% Loan
Community- Principal Principal Forgiveness per per Project/ Entity (excluding
Forgiveness Eligibility Project/Entity additional funds for rounded
Percentage Level bond increment and the
associated fee financed at 0%)
30% $300,000 $1,000,000
50% $400,000 $2,000,000
70% $500,000 $3,000,000
The definition of a "project" includes the planning, acquisition, design and
construction phases. In addition, a particular recipient may only receive the
maximum eligible amounts in principal forgiveness or 0% loans under this funding
option in a program year for all of its projects.
Amount of funding available in SFY 2022 with an Interest Rate of Zero Percent
To ensure the long-term viability of the program, the amount of funding with an
interest rate of zero percent made available during SFY 2022 is $9 million. The
TWDB Executive Administrator may establish a higher amount consistent with
maintaining the DWSRF in perpetuity and any other appropriate factors. Any
unallocated zero interest rate funding may be allocated to another funding option
offering zero percent funding.
An entity may receive funds that are a combination of rates. For example, a portion
of the funding may be available at an interest rate of zero percent and the remainder
required for the project may be available at the standard reduced interest rate.
An entity allocated program funding in SFY 2022 under the regular Disadvantaged
Community Funding option that is less than the eligible project costs specified in the
IUP and meets either the small community or rural definition is eligible to receive
principal forgiveness and a 0% loan under this option up to the maximum amounts
established in the chart above. The maximum principal forgiveness amount is based
on the sum of the amount received under the regular Disadvantaged Community
Funding option and the remaining allowable amount received this option.
This means that an entity/project that qualifies as a small or rural disadvantaged
community and is allocated the maximum of principal forgiveness under the regular
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 13
Disadvantaged Community funding option (i.e., $4,000,000 or $5,280,000 as
applicable) may not receive an additional allocation of principal forgiveness under
this funding option. Similarly, an entity/project that is allocated from the regular
Disadvantaged Community funds an amount greater than the amount in the chart
above, such as $1,000,000, may not receive an additional allocation of principal
forgiveness under this funding option. However, an entity/project that received less
than $300,000 to $500,000 in regular Disadvantaged Community funding, as
applicable based on their disadvantaged level in the chart above, may receive the
shortfall under this funding option. For example, if the small or rural disadvantaged
community was allocated only $125,000 of principal forgiveness under the regular
Disadvantaged Community option yet is eligible to receive $500,000 based on the
chart above, it would be eligible to receive the remainder of$375,000 in principal
forgiveness from this funding option.
Funds not allocated by March 1, 2022 for entities and projects that qualify for this
option may be reallocated to other funding options.
c. Subsidized Green Funding (Equivalency or Non-Equivalency)
Entities may be eligible to receive Subsidized Green principal forgiveness if their
project has elements that are considered green and the cost of the green portion of
their project is 30 percent or greater than the total project cost. This funding option
offers principal forgiveness for up to 15 percent of the total DWSRF-funded eligible
green component costs.
Maximum allocation —A maximum of$1,000,000 of subsidized green funding may
be provided to any project. The definition of a "project" for SFY 2022 includes the
planning, acquisition, design and construction phases. Subsidized green funding
received by the project prior to SFY 2019 IUP funding will not count against this limit.
Additional information may be found in Appendix E.
d. Very Small Systems Funding (Equivalency or Non-Equivalency)
The TWDB recognizes the difficulty for very small systems to secure financial
assistance. In an effort to extend resources to address critical issues with these
public water systems, the TWDB will allocate up to $3,000,000 in Additional
Subsidization to target systems with populations of 1,000 or fewer for projects
addressing public health, compliance, or water quantity issues, of which $1,000,000
will be allocated to the Securing Safe Water initiative through the first round of
funding.
To be eligible to receive Very Small Systems funding the AMHI for the project must
not exceed 150 percent of the state's AMHI. To lessen the need for the applicant to
conduct income surveys, the TWDB will consider on a case by case basis making
the presumption that the average (mean) of the AMHI of all U.S. Census Bureau
Block Groups containing any portion of the project service area is the AMHI for the
project. The applicant has the option of proving otherwise by submitting more
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 14
information on the number of customers in each Block Group or conducting an
income survey. Applicants must provide a detailed map of the proposed service area
to be considered for this option and the TWDB will determine the associated Block
Groups. The Executive Administrator will then determine whether this option would
result in a reasonable estimate of the AMHI for the project service area and may be
used for the AMHI threshold calculation. (The income data used in the calculation
will be the same data source as described in "Affordability Criteria to Determine
Disadvantaged Community Eligibility, found in Appendix D.)
Entities may be eligible to receive 100 percent of the total project cost in principal
forgiveness up to a total of$300,000 per project. A particular public water system
may only receive a total of$300,000 in principal forgiveness of Very Small Systems
funds in a program year. The definition of a "project" for SFY 2022 includes the
planning, acquisition, design and construction phases. In the event funding does not
fully cover total project costs, the entity will need to secure additional financial
assistance to complete the proposed project.
e. Emergency Preparedness for Severe weather- Evaluation/Audit(Non-
Equivalency)
Emergency Preparedness principal forgiveness may be available for the preparation
of an emergency preparedness evaluation/audit plan. It would determine future
needs to ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory standards of emergency
operations that directly affect operation of a public water system during an extended
power outage from severe weather that impacts the system. The maximum amount
available for a public water system is$75,000. The evaluation/audit must be
submitted to TWDB.
Entities that submitted a Project Information Form by March 10, 2021 may amend
their project to incorporate the evaluation/audit and these projects would receive
priority based on ranking in allocating the available principal forgiveness, subject to
the Disadvantaged / Small / Rural Set-aside.
Disadvantaged /Small/ Rural Set-aside
A portion of the total amount available under the Emergency Preparedness funding
will be reserved for entities and projects that qualify for the
Disadvantaged/Small/Rural set-aside. Entities that qualify for two out of the three
criteria will be eligible for this set-aside funding. A total of 50 percent of the principal
forgiveness made available for Emergency Preparedness funding will be reserved for
this set-aside.
Set-aside criteria:
a. Disadvantaged Community—a entity/project eligible as described in Appendix D.
b. Small Community—an entity serving a population of not more than 10,000.
c. Rural project—a project that fits any of the following:
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 15
i. An entity that provides services predominately in a rural area. Using the U.S.
Bureau of the Census definitions of a rural area, not more than 20 percent of the
residential service connections are in urbanized areas and not more than 50
percent are in urban clusters according to the most recent data available to
TWDB. The calculation will be based on the utility service(s) associated with the
proposed project;
ii. A project from a political subdivision with a population of 10,000 or less and
located outside the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a city with a population of 500,000
or greater; or
iii. A project in a county in which no urban political subdivision exceeds 50,000 in
population based upon the most current data available from the U.S. Bureau of
the Census or TWDB-approved projections.
Reserved funds not fully allocated may be reallocated to other projects on the PPL.
f. Urgent Need (Non-Equivalency)
Urgent Need projects must address situations that require immediate attention to
protect public health and safety. They may result from (1) an unanticipated reduction
in the adequate supply of water due to prolonged drought that will result in the loss of
water service to customers within the next 180 days; (2) a catastrophic natural event
or accident resulting in the loss of over 20 percent of the water service connections
or 20 percent of the total water provided to customers; (3) situations that require
immediate attention to address a substantial, imminent public health issue affecting
at least 20 percent of the water provided to customers, such as contamination in
excess of water quality standards; (4) situations that require immediate attention to
address a substantial, imminent public health issue affecting at least 20 percent of
the water provided to customers from severe flood damage that occurred during a
Governor or Presidential-declared natural disaster; and (5) other situations as
established by TWDB guidelines.
Urgent Need projects submitted after the March 10, 2021 project information form
submission deadline may be invited in the first round of invitations for SFY 2022
funding. To recover from a disaster, an entity may change the scope of an existing
project in the IUP by simply providing the proposed new scope and budget to the
TWDB without the need to submit a new Project Information Form. The Executive
Administrator may bypass projects to provide funding to Urgent Need projects. An
Urgent Need project may qualify and receive funding concurrently as a
Disadvantaged Community, Very Small System, and Subsidized Green project,
provided funding is available. The proposed project must not be for replacement of
facilities that have failed because they exceeded their useful life or failed due to lack
of adequate maintenance. The TWDB may request the applicant provide a sealed
response from a licensed professional engineer to assist the TWDB in making its
determination. For projects addressing contamination levels in excess of water
quality standards, the system must currently be in noncompliance with TCEQ
requirements and the proposed project must be designed to bring the system into
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 16
compliance to the extent financially practical. Funds will not be provided for
acquisition or construction in a Special Flood Hazard Area in a community that the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) considers a sanctioned
jurisdiction or area.
Amount of Urgent Need Funding available as Principal Forgiveness
Entities may be eligible to receive 100 percent of the total project cost in principal
forgiveness up to the amount specified in the chart below. The maximum amount of
principal forgiveness that an entity may receive per project is based on eligibility for
Disadvantaged Community funding as described in Appendix D.
Maximum Amount
of Principal Disadvantaged Community - Principal
Forgiveness per Forgiveness Eligibility Percentage Level
Project/ Entity
$500,000 0% - Project Not Eligible Under
Disadvantaged Community Criteria.
$600,000 30%
$700,000 50%
$800,000 70%
In addition, a particular recipient may only receive the maximum eligible amount in
principal forgiveness under Urgent Need in a program year for all of its projects.
Entities that previously received principal forgiveness under the Urgent Need funding
option for a particular project may not receive additional principal forgiveness for that
project if the total amount of principal forgiveness provided under the Urgent Need
funding option would exceed the amount specified in the chart above. The definition
of a "project" includes the planning, acquisition, design and construction phases.
If eligible project costs that would have qualified for Urgent Need exceed the
maximum principal forgiveness allowable or available for the project, the entity may
receive funding for the remainder with an interest rate of zero percent for the term of
the financing. For disaster recovery, special terms and conditions on loan/bond
financing, including the repayment terms, may be available that are not offered under
other funding options.
Any commitment receiving Urgent Need funds will be considered non-equivalency
funds, even if the project concurrently receives Disadvantaged Community funds.
Amount of Urgent Need funding available with an Interest Rate of Zero Percent
To ensure the long-term viability of the program, the amount of funding made
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 17
available for Urgent Need projects with an interest rate of zero percent for SFY 2022
is $4 million, or such other higher amount as the TWDB Executive Administrator may
establish consistent with maintaining the DWSRF in perpetuity and any other
appropriate factors. The funds will be obligated only as the TWDB Board makes
commitments. Any unallocated zero interest rate funding may be allocated to
another funding option offering zero percent funding.
Urgent Need Principal Forgiveness Set-asides
The TWDB will set aside $2,000,000 of principal forgiveness to address
contaminants such as lead, radionuclides and arsenic and its Securing Safe Water
initiative as described in Section XII. The TWDB will set aside $2,000,000 out of the
$4,000,000 of Urgent Need of principal forgiveness allocation for SFY 2022 for
addressing purposes other than addressing contamination in excess of water quality
standards, such as addressing drought or disaster recovery. Reserved funds not
allocated by March 1, 2022 for entities and projects that qualify for this set-aside may
be reallocated to projects that address contamination or the Securing Safe Water
initiative.
Disadvantaged /Small / Rural Set-aside
A portion of the total amount available under the Urgent Need funding will be
reserved for entities and projects that qualify for the Disadvantaged/Small/Rural set-
aside. Entities that qualify for two out of the three criteria will be eligible for this set-
aside funding. A total of 50 percent of the principal forgiveness and 20 percent of the
funds with an interest rate of zero percent made available for Urgent Need funding
will be reserved for this set-aside.
Set-aside criteria:
a. Disadvantaged Community— a entity/project eligible as described in Appendix D.
b. Small Community—an entity serving a population of not more than 10,000.
c. Rural project—a project that fits any of the following:
i. An entity that provides services predominately in a rural area. Using the U.S.
Bureau of the Census definitions of a rural area, not more than 20 percent of the
residential service connections are in urbanized areas and not more than 50
percent are in urban clusters according to the most recent data available to
TWDB. The calculation will be based on the utility service(s) associated with the
proposed project;
ii. A project from a political subdivision with a population of 10,000 or less and
located outside the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a city with a population of 500,000
or greater; or
iii. A project in a county in which no urban political subdivision exceeds 50,000 in
population based upon the most current data available from the U.S. Bureau of
the Census or TWDB-approved projections.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 18
Reserved funds not allocated by July 1, 2022 for entities and projects that qualify for
this set-aside may be reallocated to other projects that met the Urgent Need funding
criteria.
Mitigation
Facilities being replaced or repaired for an Urgent Need disaster recovery project
must be built to mitigate future damage and destruction, to the extent it is practical
based on the nature of the project activities.
Co-fundinq
DWSRF funds may only be used for project costs that are reasonable and necessary
and must not result in the entity receiving a duplication of benefits from other
sources, including the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Community
Development Block Grant(CDBG) Disaster Recovery or FEMA grant funds. A
duplication of benefits occurs when an entity receives and permanently retains
funding to cover the same cost from more than one entity or source. Reimbursement
of interim financing is not a duplication of benefits. Entities that anticipate being
reimbursed for a portion of their project with a federal source such as the Federal
Emergency Management Agency's Public Assistance funding must follow the federal
procurement rules found in 2 CFR Part 200 and other federal requirements.
g. Asset Management(Preparation of Asset Management tools)— Bonds/Loans
(Equivalency or Non-Equivalency)
An eligible entity, not just small system, may be eligible for up to $100,000 with an
interest rate of zero percent to prepare all of the Asset Management/ Financial
Planning tools required in the current Asset Management Program for Small
Systems (AMPSS) initiative's Scope of Work and deliverables as described in
Section XII. The AMPSS initiative's scope of work has been revised in SFY 2022 to
require a section on emergency preparedness, weatherization, and resiliency. The
entity's asset management program may include enhancements or tools that extend
beyond the minimum requirements of the AMPSS program's Scope of Work. Any
zero percent funding would be blended with any other repayable SRF financial
assistance to create one interest rate on the bond or loan. The maximum amount
available for this option and the zero percent funds for implementing AMPSS-like
tools in SFY 2022 is $2,000,000 (excluding the additional funds for the rounded bond
increment and associated fee that may also be financed at zero percent). Allocation
of any available funding at an interest rate of zero percent for this option would occur
concurrently with the allocation of any other funding for the project. Any unallocated
zero interest rate funding may be allocated to another funding option offering zero
percent funding.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 19
h. Asset Management—(Implementation of Asset Management Plans)—
Bonds/Loans (Equivalency or Non-Equivalency)
A small system eligible under AMPSS may receive up to $500,000 at zero percent
(0%) for a portion of the total TWDB funding for a project if it has implemented
substantially all of the Asset Management/ Financial Planning tools required in the
current AMPSS initiative's Scope of Work and deliverables as described in Section
XII and the proposed project is included in its current plan. The AMPSS initiative's
scope of work has been revised in SFY 2022 to require a section on emergency
preparedness, weatherization, and resiliency. The small system's asset management
program may include enhancements or tools that extend beyond the minimum
requirements of the AMPSS initiative's Scope of Work. The total amount of funding
available in SFY 2022 at zero percent for implementation of asset management tools
is included in the total of$2,000,000 for asset management incentives. Any
unallocated zero interest rate funding may be allocated to another funding option
offering zero percent funding.
i. Bond/Loan Funding (Equivalency or Non-Equivalency)
All entities listed on a PPL that are invited to submit applications are eligible to
receive funding through the TWDB's purchase of the entity's bonds or through a loan
agreement as allowed under the entity's governing law.
An origination fee of 2.0 percent is assessed at closing on the portion of a
commitment that requires repayment. The origination fee does not apply to any
principal forgiveness amounts. The financial assistance recipient has the option of
financing the origination fee or paying this fee up front at closing.
An entity may receive Disadvantaged Community, Disadvantaged Community—
Small/Rural only, Green, Very Small System, Emergency Preparedness and Urgent
Need principal forgiveness, concurrently with a bond or loan. The entity may also be
eligible for a maximum repayment period of 30 years provided the extended term
reserve has not been met.
An amount equal to the principal forgiveness and zero interest loan funding from any
category that was not allocated may be used for regular bond/loan funding.
2. Terms of Financial Assistance
Loans may be offered for a term of up to 30 years for the planning, acquisition, design,
and/or construction phases. For the purchase of bonds, up to 75 percent of available
funds according to TWDB determined guidelines and in accordance with the SDWA
may be offered with a term of up to 30 years. The remainder of available bonds
purchased may be offered for a term up to 20 years. The term of financial assistance
offered may not exceed the expected design life of an eligible project. The TWDB may
allow principal and interest payments on a bond or loan to commence not later than
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 20
18 months after completion of the project, if considered appropriate as determined by
the Executive Administrator.
3. Federal Requirements on Available Funds
Funds are subject to federal requirements such as Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wages
and American Iron and Steel provisions. DWSRF-funded projects must follow all
federal "cross-cutter" requirements and EPA's signage requirements. These
requirements are outlined in Appendix E.
A portion of the DWSRF funds, in an amount at least equal to the federal
capitalization grant, must follow all federal cross-cutters. These DWSRF-funded
projects are referred to as Equivalency projects. The federal cross cutters that apply
to Equivalency projects include compliance with EPA's Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise program administered by TWDB. Equivalency projects receive an
additional interest rate reduction over the reduction for non-equivalency projects.
(see Appendix E for details of Federal Requirements)
VII. Goals
The primary goal of the Texas DWSRF program is to improve public health protection. In
addition, the overall goals of the Texas DWSRF program are to identify and provide funding
for maintaining and/or bringing Texas' PWSs into compliance with the SDWA; to support
affordable drinking water and sustainability; and to maintain the long-term financial health of
the DWSRF program fund. Specific goals to achieve those ends are listed below.
A. Short-Term Goals
1. Finance priority projects that enhance emergency preparedness, weatherization, and
resiliency of public water systems during severe weather events.
2. Encourage the use of green infrastructure and technologies by offering principal
forgiveness for green infrastructure, energy efficiency, water efficiency, or
environmentally innovative portions of projects and allocating an equivalent of 10
percent of the capitalization grant to approved green project costs.
3. Offer terms of up to 30 years for the planning, acquisition, design, and/or
construction for up to 75 percent of available funds in accordance with TWDB
determined guidelines and the SDWA.
4. Increase the amount of DWSRF program funding available by leveraging the
program as necessary to meet the demand for funding additional drinking water
projects.
5. Continue to enhance the DWSRF by cross-collateralizing the program with the Clean
Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program in accordance with state and federal
law.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 21
6. Enhance our current level of outreach on the SRF programs by hosting virtual or in
person regional financial assistance workshops in conjunction with the continued use
of social media.
7. Assist water systems with urgent needs through financial assistance in the form of
principal forgiveness and loans with an additional interest rate subsidy from the
Urgent Need reserve.
8. Provide outreach, technical assistance and special allocations of funding to reduce
the number of public water systems with unresolved health issues as part of the
Securing Safe Water initiative.
9. Continue to implement the TWDB's AMPSS and CFO to Go initiatives.
B. Long-Term Goals
1. Maintain the fiscal integrity of the DWSRF in perpetuity.
2. Employ the resources in the DWSRF in the most effective and efficient manner to
protect public health and assist communities in maintaining compliance with SDWA
requirements and maintain a strong financial assistance program that is responsive
to changes in the state's priorities and needs.
3. Assist borrowers in complying with the requirements of the SDWA by meeting the
demands for funding eligible water projects by providing financial assistance with
interest rates below current market levels and with Additional Subsidization in the
form of principal forgiveness.
4. Support the development of drinking water systems that employ effective utility
management practices to build and maintain the level of financial, managerial and
technical (FMT) capacity necessary to ensure long-term sustainability.

A. Updating Projects from the Prior Intended Use Plan
For SFY 2022, a potential applicant must update, at a minimum, the readiness to
proceed information, and if seeking disadvantaged community eligibility, the
socioeconomic economic census data and utility rate information. The requirement to
update the readiness to proceed information will apply to an entity that previously
received a commitment for Planning, Acquisition and/or Design only and desires to be
considered for the construction portion of the project.
B. Evaluation of the Project Information Received and Priority Rating System
All PIFs received an initial review by TWDB staff. The TWDB evaluated submissions
requesting eligibility for disadvantaged community status using the affordability criteria,
which is described in detail in Appendix D. The TWDB rated projects based on effective
management criteria presented in Appendix C. The scores are based on information
received by any established PIF deadline. Throughout the evaluation process, entities
were contacted by staff if additional information was needed for clarifying their eligibility
for disadvantaged status or effective management points.
Concurrent with TWDB's rating process for disadvantaged community status, effective
management, and Planning, Acquisition, and Design (PAD) projects, TCEQ performed
the priority rating for water system projects. The general rating criteria for projects are
briefly described below, with details provided in Appendices C and D. For information on
scoring for specific projects, a report detailing the scoring for each project will be posted
on the TWDB's website.
1. Rating Criteria for Water System Projects
• Health and Compliance—factors regarding public health concerns/issues or
violations of Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) pursuant to 40 Code of
Federal Regulations Part 141 (see Appendix C)
• Secondary Compliance—factors regarding secondary chemicals and/or
physical deficiencies (see Appendix C)
• Effective Management—factors relating to the implementation of effective
management practices (see Appendix C)
• Affordability/ PAD—factor applied to an entity that qualifies as a disadvantaged
community or had TWDB PAD financing for the project (see Appendix D)
2. Rating Criteria for Source Water Protection Projects
• Groundwater System Vulnerability—factor relating to vulnerability of
groundwater systems (see Appendix C)
• Surface Water System Vulnerability—factor relating to vulnerability of surface
water systems (see Appendix C)
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 24
• Effective Management—factors relating to the implementation of effective
management practices (see Appendix C)
• Affordability/ PAD—factor applied to an entity that qualifies as a disadvantaged
community or had TWDB PAD financing for the project (see Appendix D)
C. Ranking and Creation of the Project Priority List and Initial Invited Projects List
Each project submitted by the initial deadline and determined to be eligible is ranked
from highest to lowest by the combined rating factors and included on the PPL. In the
event of ties in the rating, priority is given to the project serving the smaller total
population. Project information submitted after the March 10th deadline was not
considered for rating purposes prior to adoption of the initial PPL. Following approval of
the IUP, changes to a ranked project that result in a project no longer addressing the
issues for which it was rated will require the project to be re-rated and re-ranked.
Changes in the project that do not trigger re-rating and re-raking are:
1. The applicant for a proposed project changes but the project does not change;
2. The number of participants in a consolidation project changes and the change does
not result in a change to the combined rating factor; and
3. The fundable amount of a proposed project does not increase by more than 10
percent of the amount listed in the approved IUP. The Executive Administrator may
waive the 10 percent limit to incorporate additional elements to the project; however,
any Additional Subsidization awarded may not exceed the original IUP amount's
allocation.
The IIPL presented in the IUP (Appendix K) refers to a subset of projects from the PPL
and includes only the projects to be invited to apply for funding during the initial invitation
round following the Board's approval of the IUP. The IIPL includes the type and amount
of funding necessary to meet requirements and goals of the DWSRF, such as Additional
Subsidization and Reserve requirements. Based on a review of readiness to proceed to
construction, the TWDB determined which phases would be eligible to receive funding
during SFY 2022. The phases indicated on the IIPL represent the phases deemed
eligible based on that review.
An entity that previously received a commitment for Planning, Acquisition and/or Design
only and desires to be considered for the construction portion of the project must update,
at a minimum, the readiness to proceed information. It will then be added to the PPL for
construction phase funding based on the same number of points, or higher, they
received in the year they were rated. Any invitation for construction phase funding is
contingent upon the project having met the required ready to proceed milestones.
A project submitted for the SFY 2022 IUP that received a commitment for all requested
phases from TWDB prior to creation of the initial PPL has not been included on the initial
PPL. Those projects that already received the commitment are shown as being
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 25
ineligible for funding in SFY 2022. A project that previously received a commitment from
TWDB for only the initial phase of the project, such as planning, acquisition, and/or
design, and also provided an update of the project's readiness to proceed to the
construction phase, has been listed on the initial PPL.
For SFY 2022, the IIPL represents projects with costs exceeding the available amount of
funds allocated for Equivalency projects. Once the amount of funds allocated to
Equivalency projects has been reached, funds will be allocated to Non-Equivalency
projects.
E. Bypassing Projects
The TWDB's Executive Administrator may decide to bypass, or skip, higher ranked
projects in favor of lower ranked projects to ensure that funds available are utilized in a
timely manner and that statutory and capitalization grant requirements are met, including
federal additional subsidization requirements. In addition, if an entity is offered funding
for any project that has an interrelated project ranked lower on the list, the Executive
Administrator has discretion to also offer funding for the interrelated project. Reasons for
bypassing projects are discussed in Appendix F.
F. Phases for Invited Projects
1. Pre-Design Funding Option (or Planning, Acquisition, Design and Construction
Funding)
The pre-design funding option allows an applicant to receive a single commitment for
all phases of a project. The construction portion of the project must be deemed
ready to proceed before funds for the construction phase will be released.
2. Construction Funding Only
All projects that were determined to be ready to proceed to construction based on
the current status of their planning, acquisition, and design activities were included
on the IIPL and will receive an invitation to fund the construction portion of the
project.
3. Planning, Acquisition, and Design
A project that was not deemed ready to proceed to construction may receive an
invitation to fund only the Planning, Acquisition, and/or Design portion of the project.
4. Viability and Feasibility of Projects
A project must demonstrate to the TWDB that it is viable, feasible, and sustainable
prior to being invited to submit an application and prior to receiving a commitment for
any funding option, including principal forgiveness, for the acquisition, design or
construction phases of the project. A project may receive funds for the planning
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 26
phase to assess the viability and feasibility of a project, including funds to prepare an
asset management plan.
G. Invitations and Application Submissions
Entities with projects on the IIPL will be informed of the opportunity to submit an
application for the project phases shown on the list using the available funding options.
An entity on the list may not submit an application until it receives an invitation from
TWDB. TWDB will consider the need to meet the minimum federal additional
subsidization requirements when deciding whether it needs to bypass projects on the
IIPL.
Intent to Apply
As part of the invitation process the TWDB may require the applicant to submit an intent
to apply form or information by a specified deadline showing the applicant's intent to
request up to the eligible amount of funding in the IUP. Failure to submit the requested
intent to apply information by the established deadline will result in TWDB bypassing the
project on the IUP list.
Prior to submitting an application, entities are required to participate in a pre-application
meeting to discuss the application process and project requirements. Invited
applications from projects on the IIPL that are received during the initial invitation round
after Board approval of the IUP will be allotted available Additional Subsidization
(principal forgiveness) based on rank order. All projects must be determined
administratively complete as submitted or within 14 days from the date the applicant
receives a notice to correct deficiencies or any Additional Subsidization may be
reallotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Each application received by the TWDB will be reviewed to ensure that the required
milestones have been met to allow funding of the phase(s) being requested. If the
application review determines that a project is not ready to proceed for funding for the
phase(s) being requested, the project may be bypassed for any additional subsidy
amounts or receive limited phases of funding.
Projects may be bypassed if an applicant fails to timely submit a complete application or
additional requested information.
Deadline for Receipt of Invitation
The TWDB will establish a deadline for receipt of the application. If the application is not
received by the established deadline, the project will be bypassed.
Subsequent Invitations
After the initial invitation period, if any funds remain unallocated then other projects on
the PPL will be invited in rank order. Applicants may submit a PIF at any time for a
project to be considered for inclusion on the amended PPL. The new projects will be
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 27
considered after those on the original PPL list have been invited. Amendments to the
project lists will undergo a 14-day public review period that will be advertised on the
agency website. Projects requesting Urgent Need funding may undergo a 7-day public
review period if the TWDB determines it is necessary to protect public health and safety.
H. Addressing Any Water Loss Mitigation within the Application
If an applicant that is a retail public utility providing potable water has a water loss that
meets or exceeds the threshold for that utility in accordance with §358.6 of Title 31, Part
10, Texas Administrative Code, the retail public utility must use a portion of any financial
assistance received from the DWSRF, or any additional financial assistance provided by
the TWDB, to mitigate the utility's water loss. However, at the request of a retail public
utility, the TWDB may waive this requirement if the TWDB finds that the utility is
satisfactorily addressing the utility's system water loss. Mitigation, if necessary, will be in
a manner determined by the retail public utility and the TWDB's Executive Administrator
in conjunction with the project proposed by the utility and funded by TWDB.
I. Self-Certification for Certain Systems Serving 500 or Fewer Persons
The Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (Public Law 114-322) requires
DWSRF assistance recipients serving 500 or fewer persons to consider publicly-owned
wells (individual, shared or community) as an option for their drinking water supply. Any
applicable project involving the construction, replacement or rehabilitation of a drinking
water system which is not already using a publicly-owned well for the source are required
to self-certify. If the community already uses a publicly-owned well (including a privately-
owned well for a public water system)and the project does not involve a new water source,
then the self-certification is not needed. The self-certification is only for projects which do
not involve a publicly-owned well source to ensure that this was one of the water supply
options considered but not selected as the best alternative.
J. Commitment Timeframes for Projects with Principal Forgiveness Component(s)
Due to the high demand and limited availability of subsidized funding, it is imperative that
applicants offered these funds proceed in a timely manner. Therefore, the TWDB has
established commitment timeframes for projects that qualify and have been designated
to receive Additional Subsidization in the form of principal forgiveness. If an applicant
does not submit an application by the established deadline and then proceed through
the application process and obtain a funding commitment within the timeframes listed
below, the Additional Subsidization may be reallocated to another eligible project. In
extenuating circumstances, if the application was received by the established deadline
then TWDB may grant an extension of time for obtaining a commitment if an applicant
demonstrates sufficient reason for a delay.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 28
Principal Forgiveness Type Commitment
Deadline
Disadvantaged Community/Disadvantaged Community— 4 months
Small/Rural only
Very Small Systems 4 months
Green Subsidy 4 months
Emergency Preparedness 4 months
Urgent Need 3 months
K. Closing Deadlines
The deadline to close a commitment is dependent on whether the commitment includes
Additional Subsidization in the form of principal forgiveness. Commitments that include
only principal forgiveness must close within four months from the date of commitment.
All commitments that include principal forgiveness funding concurrently with bonds/loan
funding must close within six months from the date of the commitment. All commitments
for bonds/loan funding without any principal forgiveness funding must close within one
year from the date of commitment. In extenuating circumstances, the Board may grant
extensions of time to close if an applicant demonstrates sufficient reason for a delay.
The TWDB may extend these closing deadlines if necessary to confirm to the closing
schedule for concurrent financing for the project from another TWDB financing program.
Type of Financial Assistance Closing Deadline
Commitments that include only principal forgiveness 4 months
All commitments that include principal forgiveness and 6 months
bonds/loan
All commitments for bonds/loan without any principal 12 months
forgiveness
L. Limits
1. Proportionate Share/Capacity
The TWDB may limit the amount of funding available to an individual entity or project
based on a proportionate share of total funds available. Initially, the maximum
loan/bond commitment amount a project may receive under the SFY 2022 IUP is $24
million; however, after all projects on the PPL as of March 31, 2022 have received an
invitation and the last application deadline has occurred, if funds remain available
then the TWDB may increase the maximum as the Executive Administrator
determines is appropriate to fully allocate funds. Allocation of remaining funds will
consider first those projects on the initial IUP PPL in rank order and then any projects
that were subsequently added in order of receipt of a fully completed PIF. The
TWDB may elect to provide financing in excess of the capacity level if the Board
approves the increase consistent with maintaining the DWSRF in perpetuity and after
consideration of other relevant factors.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 29
2. Equivalency funding limits
For SFY 2022, the maximum initial amount of equivalency funds made available is
$100 million , with no more than $24 million of equivalency funds being available to
one entity or project in a single year, unless it is a Disadvantaged Community. There
may be an exception for those projects receiving a loan/bond commitment in excess
of$24 million as described under"Proportionate Share/Capacity." The TWDB may
elect to provide financing in excess of these initial capacity levels if the Board
approves the increase consistent with maintaining the DWSRF in perpetuity and after
consideration of other relevant factors.
3. Additional Project Funding Before Closing
The total project costs may be increased if the entity shows that additional funds are
necessary to implement the project. If the project includes Additional Subsidization,
the total amount of Additional Subsidization in the form of principal forgiveness
allocated to the project may not increase from the amount listed in the IUP unless
Additional Subsidization funding is available. The amount of Additional Subsidization
may increase at TWDB's discretion for projects receiving Urgent Need funds and
determined necessary to enhance feasibility and other considerations as described
in Section VI(1)(a).
4. Cost Overruns After Closing
In the event of cost overruns on projects funded from a previous commitment,
additional funding may be considered on a case by case basis.
5. Reduction in Closing Amount
For commitments that consist of both principal forgiveness and loans/bonds, if the
closing amount is reduced from the commitment amount, then the principal
forgiveness amount for the closing will be reduced on a pro rata basis. Any
remaining principal forgiveness may be applied to subsequent closings of the
remaining commitment amount, subject to the closing requirements of paragraph K
of this section.
M. Leveraging to Provide Additional Funding
The TWDB may leverage the DWSRF program as necessary to meet the demand for
funding additional drinking water projects.
N. Funds from Prior Years
Additional funds that may become available through unobligated previous grant funds, or
deobligation or closure of previous commitments will be available for eligible projects.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 30
O. Transfer of Funds
1. Reserving Transfer Authority for Future Use
Section 302 of the SDWA Amendments of 1996 provides states the authority to reserve
and transfer funds between the DWSRF and the CWSRF programs. In accordance with
Section 302, the TWDB hereby reserves the authority to transfer an amount up to thirty-
three percent(33 percent) of the DWSRF program capitalization grant(s) to the CWSRF
program or an equivalent amount from the CWSRF program to the DWSRF program.
2. Ongoing cash flow transfer mechanism
The TWDB may transfer in accordance with the authority in Section 302 of the SDWA up
to $200,000,000 of funds derived from repayments between the CWSRF and DWSRF.
No grant funds would be transferred under this standing transfer mechanism. Funds
derived from repayments from each SRF may flow from one SRF to the other SRF in
both directions throughout the year. This mechanism will use surplus funds in one SRF
to temporarily meet loan demand in the other SRF. It will achieve savings by eliminating
issuance costs from bond sales that would otherwise be necessary to meet cash flow
demands in a particular SRF. The actual amount TWDB transfers at any time
throughout the year will be based on the cash flows needs of the each SRF program.
TWDB will track the transfers on an absolute basis for reporting purposes and also a net
basis to ensure the net amount of transfer does not exceed the limit under law of thirty-
three percent of the respective program's capitalization grants. This will result in a
positive impact on funds being available to finance projects in both SRFs. The SRF that
receives the funds will be able to fund projects more efficiently and rapidly. The
transferred funds will be returned to the originating SRF so it will be able to meet its
project funding needs. In addition, because both SRFs are leveraged they may borrow
funds to finance projects if necessary. The long-term impact on both SRFs is positive
because of the improved operational efficiencies and ability to achieve program savings.
The TWDB will include any amount that was transferred in SFY 2022 in the DWSRF
program's SFY 2022 Annual Report. (See Appendix E for the calculation demonstrating
that$200,000,000 may be transferred in accordance with Section 302 of the SDWA
Amendments of 1996.)
P. Updates to the Intended Use Plan
Substantive changes to the IUP may be made through an amendment after a 14-day
public review and comment period. Non-substantive changes may be made by the
TWDB without public notification.
IX. Set-Asides
Federal regulations allow states to set aside up to 31 percent of the capitalization grant
funds for purposes other than financing construction projects for water systems. The set
asides for SFY 2022 will be allocated as follows: 4 percent for the TWDB for
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 31
administration/technical assistance, 10 percent for TCEQ for State Program Management, 2
percent for TCEQ for Small Systems Technical Assistance, and $1,800,000 (approximately
2 percent) for TCEQ for Local Assistance and Other State Programs. Set-asides from the
reallotted FFY 2019 funds from another state totaling $813,000 are included as well.
A. Texas Water Development Board Administration and Technical Assistance
Activities
The SDWA allows a state to set aside funds to cover the reasonable costs of
administering the DWSRF and to provide technical assistance to public water systems.
The amount that may be taken for these purposes is the amount of any fees collected by
the State, regardless of the source; and the greatest of(1) $400,000, (2) one-fifth of one
percent of the current valuation of the DWSRF (both loan and set-asides), and (3) an
amount equal to four percent of all grant awards to the DWSRF for the particular fiscal
year.
The TWDB will draw administrative and technical assistance set-asides from the FFY
2021 Capitalization Grant in the amount of$3,448,080. An additional $32,520 of
administrative and technical assistance set-aside will be taken from the FFY 2019
reallotted funds. This amount is based on the option of using four percent of the FFY
2021 capitalization grant. These funds will be used for allowable expenses such as
reporting activities, payment processing, application assistance, project development
and monitoring, and technical assistance to public water systems. In addition, the TWDB
assesses fees for the purpose of recovering administrative costs. These fees are placed
in a separate account for future administrative expenses. The fees are generated by an
assessment of 2.0 percent of the portion of the DWSRF financial assistance that is
repaid and is assessed at closing. Fees collected will be deposited into the
Administrative Cost Recovery Fund.
Federal regulations governing the DWSRF program permit a state to reserve its
authority to take an amount equal to 4 percent of the current year's grant from a future
grant to defray the cost of administering the program. The TWDB, as it has done since
SFY 1998, is reserving that authority.
B. Texas Commission on Environmental Quality Activities
Funds for TCEQ Set-Aside activities from the FFY 2021 capitalization grant totaling
$12,144,240 may be used in SFY 2022. Remaining funds from the previous DWSRF
grant, except for funds for Local Assistance and Other State Programs, may also be
used in SFY 2022.
State Program Management Set Aside from FFY 2021 grant $8,620,200
Small Systems Technical Assistance Set Aside from FFY 2021 grant $1,724,040
Local Assistance and Other State Programs Set Aside from FFY 2021 $1,800,000
grant
Total TCEQ Set-Aside amount from FFY 2021 grant $12,144,240
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 32
FFY 2019 reallotted funds from another state may be used in SFY 2022 as follows:
State Program Management Set Aside from FFY 2019 reallotted funds $81,300
Small Systems Technical Assistance Set Aside from FFY 2019 reallotted $16,260
funds
Total TCEQ Set-Aside amount from FFY 2019 reallotted funds $97,560
A detailed description of SFY 2022 activities may be found in TCEQ's DWSRF Set-Aside
Work Plans. Activities are expected to be completed by August 31, 2022.
C. Coordination of Activities with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
The TWDB and TCEQ regularly communicate to discuss projects in need of financial
assistance through the DWSRF program. The two agencies hold periodic DWSRF
coordination meeting and TCEQ staff attend many of TWDB's pre-application meetings
and financial assistance workshops.
X. Financial Status
The total base amount of funding available for SFY 2022 is set at $150,000,000. The
amount of the FFY 2021 capitalization grant allotment for the DWSRF program is
$86,202,000, with a match of$17,240,400 to be provided by the state. As demand
warrants, the TWDB will leverage the DWSRF to provide additional financial assistance to
projects. The TWDB will comply with the requirements associated with the FFY 2021
allotment in SFY 2022. An additional $813,000 of FFY 2019 reallotted funds from another
state, with a state match of$162,600, are included in the total for SFY 2022. These
reallotted funds will carry the terms and conditions from the FFY 2019 federal
appropriations.
A. Sources of State Match
The deposit of required state match will occur in advance or at the time of the scheduled
grant payment and the source of funding for the match, which may include the proceeds
of bonds sales or state appropriations, varies based upon availability.
B. Binding Commitment Requirement
The TWDB will enter into binding commitments with entities during SFY 2022 that total
120 percent of the amount of a FFY 2021 grant payment allocated to projects within one
year after the receipt of the grant payment. A binding commitment occurs when the
TWDB's Board adopts a resolution to commit funds to a project.
C. Leveraging
The DWSRF program will be leveraged as necessary to provide funds to meet the needs
of public water systems in the state. The TWDB will leverage funds through the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 33
issuance of debt obligations in accordance with a Master Resolution and supplemental
resolutions covering the issuance of each bond series.
D. Cross-collateralization
On March 1, 2018, the TWDB has cross-collateralized the CWSRF and the DWSRF as a
source of revenue and security for the payment of the principal and interest on bonds for
the DWSRF and CWSRF programs. State authority is provided under Section 15.6042
of the Texas Water Code. The TWDB has received a certification from the state
Attorney General that state law permits the TWDB to cross-collateralize the assets of the
CWSRF and the DWSRF. Cross-collateralization of the CWSRF and DWSRF will
enhance the ability of the DWSRF to leverage its funds and increase its lending capacity
without detriment to either of the SRF programs.
1. Summary of the cross-collateralization structure:
a.The type of moneys which will be used as security— Pledged Political Subdivision
Bonds and certain other funds included in the Master Resolution (program account,
portfolio account, and revenue account) will secure the bonds.
b. How moneys will be used in the event of a default- In the cross-collateralized
scenario, Political Subdivision Bonds from the non-defaulting program will be used to
cover the debt service delinquency on the defaulting program. If, for any reason,
insufficient Political Subdivision Bonds exist in both programs, then program equity
will be utilized.
c. Whether or not moneys used for a default in the other program will be repaid; and,
if it will not be repaid, what will be the cumulative impact on the funds- While a
decision to repay or not repay would be made at the time of default, the TWDB would
either require repayment when funds are available or transfer repayment funds.
2. Proportionality—The proceeds generated by the issuance of bonds will be allocated
to the purposes of the CWSRF and the DWSRF in the same proportion as the assets
from the two funds that are used as security for the bonds.
3. State Match — In accordance with Texas Water Code §§ 17.853(c)(1) and 17.859,
the TWDB intends to provide state match through the issuance of one or more
revenue bonds in a program series that will fund the two SRF programs.
Supplemental bond resolutions for the issuance of each series will provide detail on
what specific money is pledged as security for each program (CWSRF or DWSRF)
within the series. As required, the CWSRF and DWSRF will continue to be operated
separately. The cash flows for the DWSRF program and the CWSRF program will
be accounted for separately. Repayments on loans in the CWSRF program will be
paid to the CWSRF and repayments on loans made in the DWSRF program will be
paid to the DWSRF.
Similar to other states' financing methods where state match is not provided by
appropriation and is instead generated through debt issuance, the TWDB cross-
collateralization structure allows the TWDB to retire bonds for the State Match with
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 34
interest earnings payments only, not principal, earned from each SRF in accordance
with 40 CFR § 35.3550(g)(3).
E. Inter-fund Loan / Investment
During SFY 2022, the TWDB may invest funds from the CWSRF in the DWSRF in an
amount not to exceed $150 million. If the TWDB elects this option, it will execute an
inter-fund loan agreement between the CWSRF and the DWSRF with a term that will not
exceed three years. Any CWSRF recycled funds deposited in accordance with the inter-
fund loan agreement would be used exclusively for DWSRF eligible purposes. The
TWDB would also issue a reimbursement resolution providing for repayment of funds to
the CWSRF using the proceeds of a DWSRF bond issuance once the DWSRF program
is leveraged. The TWDB received EPA approval for this option on March 8, 2017.
F. Method of Cash Draw
The method of cash draw for the FFY 2021 capitalization grant is to expend the required
state match first, and then federal funds will be drawn at a rate of 100 percent.
G. Long-Term Financial Health of the Fund
The long-term financial health of the DWSRF is monitored through ongoing cash flow
and capacity modeling. The TWDB lending rate policy has been established to preserve
the corpus of the capitalization grants and state match funds, excluding the amount of
principal forgiveness, set-aside amounts from each grant, and net transfers. The TWDB
will continue to manage the DWSRF to ensure funds will be available in perpetuity for
activities under the SDWA.
H. Interest Rate Policy
The interest rate will be a percentage reduction from the Thomson Reuters Municipal
Market Data (MMD) rate adjusted for yield to maturity that is applicable to the entity's
rating, with non-rated entities using the Baa rate, as follows:
(a) Equivalency projects: 35% reduction
(b) Non-Equivalency projects: 30% reduction
Exclusions from interest rate reduction methodology -the interest rate reduction
methodology does not apply to any portion of financing that is offered at zero percent
(0%). The full benefit of the 0% financing under the respective special funding option will
be incorporated into the total of the maturities for bonds or the total loan payments for
loans.
Rates are set five business days prior to the adoption of the political subdivision's bond
ordinance or resolution or the execution of the financial assistance agreement, but may
be based on interest rate levels determined as of an earlier date, and are in effect for
forty-five days.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 35
I. Fees
The only fee is an origination fee of 2.0 percent that is assessed at closing. Fees are not
deposited into the DWSRF. The accumulated fees may be used for any eligible activity,
including administrative costs, such as project oversight, long-term financial monitoring,
and Special Program Initiatives described in Section XII.
J. EPA Program Evaluation Report and Audit
EPA has conducted an annual program review of the DWSRF program for SFY 2020
and will send their final report to TWDB upon completion.
The Texas State Auditor's Office published the results of the SFY 2020 Single Audit of
the DWSRF on February 26, 2021 (Report 21-015). There were no findings as a result
of the review.
Xl. TWDB Special Program Initiatives
Asset Management Program for Small Systems (AMPSS) Initiative
Purpose and Overview:
Smaller water and wastewater utilities often operate reactively rather than proactively,
usually due to a lack of resources and planning tools. For some of the smaller utilities,
system components are replaced only after failure, while system expansion occurs only as
requested by users or mandated by regulatory agencies. The TWDB has developed and
implemented an initiative to assist these water and wastewater utilities in creating a plan for
managing their systems in a financially and technically sustainable manner by delivering
management tools developed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).
TWDB will contract with qualified entities to evaluate the existing system and create an
asset management plan in accordance with the guidelines created by TCEQ's Small
Business and Governmental Assistance Section. This plan will become the basis for
planning for system sustainability by identifying replacement dates and estimated costs,
developing best practices for operation and maintenance, and developing financial plans for
obtaining funding for future needs.
The system will receive the following tangible assistance:
a. Asset Management Plan.
b. Sustainability Plan.
c. System Operations and Maintenance Manual.
d. Training for system management and staff.

f. Installation of all tools that were developed on the system's computer system.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 36
Funding —Administrative Costs
The funds to cover the contracted services for these smaller systems come from origination
fees from the CWSRF and DWSRF. The TWDB considers the planned activities to be
administrative activities under the CWSRF program and administration /technical
assistance under the DWSRF program. The benefit to wastewater systems would be
covered through CWSRF origination fees while projects that benefit water systems would be
covered through DWSRF origination fees.
a. The TWDB will pay not more than $100,000 per project.
b. Match -There is no match requirement for the system; however, the system will be
required to contribute 80 hours of staff participation to the development of the plan.
(TWDB may waive the required contribution requirement if the TWDB determines it
would constitute a serious hardship on the operations of a system with only a few or no
full-time staff.)
Systems to be Assisted
The target systems are defined as (a) having 5,000 service connections or less or (b) an
entity that has a population of less than 10,000 and one that is not located within the borders
of any municipality with a population over 10,000, including its extra-territorial jurisdiction.
Selection of Contractors
The TWDB may select multiple contractors according to qualifications that are specified in a
RFQ. The procurement process will follow all state procurement laws and requirements,
including use of Historically Underutilized Businesses.
Scope of Work to be Performed by Contractors for Selected Systems
The work must meet the following requirements:
a. Asset Management—(1) Conduct a system evaluation (asset identification, location,
and date of service or approximate age), as needed, resulting in an inventory of the
system and prioritization of assets, (2) develop a comprehensive plan for managing
system assets, (3) develop a budget for managing system assets, (4) develop an
implementation plan, including a time schedule, for implementing and updating the asset
management plan, and (5) determine whether a rate study is necessary.
The resulting asset management plan must fulfill the general requirements of a Fiscal
Sustainability Plan as outlined in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.
Further, in the section of the asset management plan that discusses funding sources, it
must identify current TWDB financial assistance programs, including the CWSRF and
DWSRF programs as applicable, that may be utilized to meets the system's needs. The
asset management plan must include an analysis of whether current utility rates would
provide adequate revenue to meet future system needs but it does not have to include a
full rate study that establishes a new rate structure.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 37

b. Emergency Preparedness/Weatherization/ Resiliency —recommendations related to
emergency preparedness and operations.
c. For Water Systems: Source Assessment and Planning - Identify the utility's drinking
water source, develop any appropriate best management practices for sustaining the
source (at a minimum develop or update the system's conservation and drought
contingency plans), and, if needed, identify options for alternative sources. It will discuss
plans for water conservation and detecting and minimizing water loss.
For Wastewater Systems: Sustainable Systems- Create a plan to manage the system
more efficiently by conducting an energy assessment of the system and including
recommendations for energy-efficiency improvements, and potential public-participation
programs.
d. Operations and Maintenance - Create an operations and maintenance manual for the
utility that includes a plan for scheduling and performing preventative and general
maintenance. The plan may identify other resources available to the system such as
TCEQ's financial, managerial, and technical assistance.
e. Compliance - Train the utility's management and staff on monitoring, reporting, and
record-keeping requirements, the TCEQ's investigation and enforcement process
(including an enforcement scenario), and develop a compliance manual that includes
copies of all required reports, compliance checklists and tables for keeping track of State
and/or Federal requirements. The compliance manual may be incorporated into the
Operations and Maintenance manual.
f. Other Requirements- As part of the project, all tools that are developed, such as
spreadsheets and manuals, shall be nonproprietary and will be installed on the system's
computer system and key staff members will be trained sufficiently to implement the
plan. The TWDB-procured contractor must coordinate development activities, including
the training of key system staff members, with the utility's management. The utility's
management and the TWDB must be kept informed quarterly of the status of the project
while it is under development and be provided an opportunity to provide ample input on
the development of plans.
The project activities conducted by the TWDB-procured contractor must include at least
one presentation to the system's governing body or owner that provides an overview of
the developed plans, the benefits to the system of implementing the plans, and any
recommendations.
The TWDB-procured contractor must return to the system between 12 months and 18
months after delivery of the final plans to assess the system's implementation progress
and provide TWDB and the system's governing body or owner a written analysis of the
system's implementation of the plans.
The TWDB-procured contractor and the smaller system will negotiate and execute a
contract in a form acceptable to TWDB covering the development of the project prior to the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 38
contractor initiating any work. The contractor must complete the project within 9 months
after the date of the contract between the contractor and the system.
Initial Round:
In the Fall of 2018, a total of$225,000 was made available from the SRF for three small
systems in the initial round to address their water system The work was completed in 2020.
Reserve of Accumulated Fees:
The TWDB is reserving $500,000 of accumulated DWSRF fees for the AMPSS initiative,
along with another$500,000 of CWSRF program accumulated fees, for a total of
$1,000,000. Funds will be used to contract for services to assist small systems develop
asset management tools. Additional accumulated fees may be used by TWDB to manage
the program, oversee implementation, and promote the benefits of the asset management
tools being provided through AMPSS.
Subsequent Rounds:
The TWDB anticipates awarding additional contracts under this initiative in a total amount to
be determined during the year.
Reporting:
The TWDB will report on the amount of fees allocated, recipients assisted, and outcomes
under this initiative in its Annual Report.
CFO to Go Initiative
Similar in concept to the AMPSS program, the TWDB has developed and implemented a
pilot program called "CFO to Go" using origination fees collected under the Clean and
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund programs. Under this program, the TWDB will
contract with Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) to provide technical assistance services to
designated recipients of TWDB funding under the State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs.
The TWDB will select recipients determined to be in need of special assistance from a CPA
to maintain adequate compliance with the requirements of the SRF programs.
The contracted CPA's anticipated work activities would fall into two broad categories of
services for the designated recipients.
First, the contracted CPA would evaluate regulatory and financial assistance covenant
compliance procedures in the following areas for designated recipients:
• Activities allowed/unallowed, including compliance with financial instrument covenants,
•Allowable costs/cost principles,
• Federal funding eligibility, and/or
• Financial Reporting.
Second, the CPAs will provide professional services in areas such as the following:
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 39
•Advising recipients on the design and implementation of internal control procedures,
particularly those addressing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting in response to
control weaknesses identified in audits of Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports
and/or in Single Audit Reports and Management Letters (or the equivalent),
•Assisting recipients in the design of procedures for preparing financial statements
required by the covenants of loan and other financial commitment documents that
require compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Generally
Accepted Government Accounting Standards. This assistance will not include actually
performing the independent audit of the entity's financial statement, or
•Assisting recipients in the identification and interpretation of funding commitment
provisions and covenants and best practices related to compliance disclosure.
While these provide examples of the contracted CPA services contemplated at this time, the
TWDB may alter the scope of services under this program to reflect the needs of the agency
and the recipients.
The expenditures under the CPA contracts will be allocated to the respective SRF programs
based on the initial amount provided under existing SRF loans with the designated recipient.
The TWDB considers the planned activities to be administrative activities under the CWSRF
program and administration /technical assistance under the DWSRF program.
Reserve of Accumulated Fees - The TWDB is reserving $500,000 of accumulated DWSRF
program fees for the CFO to Go initiative, along with another$500,000 of CWSRF program
accumulated fees, for a total of$1,000,000. Funds will be used to contract for services to
provide technical assistance services to designated recipients of TWDB funding under the
SRF programs. Additional accumulated fees may be used by TWDB to manage the
program, oversee implementation, and promote the benefits of the technical assistance
being provided through CFO to Go.
The TWDB will report on the amount of fees allocated and the recipients assisted under this
initiative in its Annual Report.
Securing Safe Water—Outreach, Technical Assistance and Funding Initiative
TWDB is in the process of developing and implementing an initiative to reduce the number
of public water systems in Texas with unresolved health violations. This initiative will support
EPA's Strategic Plan's goal of significantly reducing the number of systems with health
violations. As of June 16, 2021, TCEQ reported 229 public water systems had unresolved
health violations in Texas. Below is an outline of TWDB's overall strategy.
1. Funding
In the SFY 2022 IUP, the TWDB has specifically allocated a portion of the available
principal forgiveness in the Very Small Systems and Urgent Need funding options for
this initiative. In addition to these special allocations, the TWDB will use principal
forgiveness, zero-interest loans, and regular low-cost loans from the Disadvantaged
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 40
Communities, Disadvantaged Communities—Small/ Rural and Urgent Need funding
options to support this initiative.
2. Outreach & Determining Need
a. Contacting systems—letters, telephone calls, and notifications of workshops
b. Site visits
c. Special workshops
d. Developing outreach documents or videos
3. Technical Assistance
a. Determining the appropriate first steps for the public water system.
b. Application assistance
c. Income survey assistance
d. Developing technical guidance such as pamphlets and videos
e. Partnering with others such as TCEQ
f. Facilitating the appropriate involvement of professional entities such as
engineering firms to prepare and seal the Project Information Forms and assist with
project implementation
4. Based on feedback received, assessing viable long-term options that may be
deployed in subsequent years in support of this initiative, including
a. Consider using the AMPSS and CFO to Go initiatives
b. Determine whether a fee-supported program would be beneficial to provide
engineering or other assistance
5. Tracking outcomes
a. Develop special reports to track: Outreach Contacts, Technical Assistance
provided, Type of violation, TWDB funding provided, and date removed from TCEQ's
list.
b. Report outcomes in the Annual Report.

Source Water Protection Rating Criteria and Process
This program provides financial assistance to assist communities in implementing source water
protection Best Management Practices recommended by TCEQ. The TWDB will determine
annually the amount of capitalization grant funds to be reserved for source water protection
projects and will include this information in the intended use plan, provided however that no more
than 10 percent of any DWSRF capitalization grant can be so reserved. All projects classified as
source water protection projects are subject to the requirements established in 31 Texas
Administrative Code §371.4 (relating to Other Authorized Activities: Source Water Protection and
Technical Assistance) and those set forth in this intended use plan. If funds which have been
reserved for source water protection projects are unused after all applicants have been provided
an opportunity to submit an application, such funds may be made available for other projects in the
DWSRF program.
Rating Process—To be eligible for consideration, PWS must be willing to participate in TCEQ's
Source Water Assessment and Protection program. Eligible entities that seek consideration for
source water protection funding will be rated according to the following criteria:

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 50
Appendix D. Affordability Criteria to Determine Disadvantaged Community
Eligibility
A disadvantaged community is a community that meets the DWSRF's affordability criteria based
on income, unemployment rates, and population trends. For the initial allocation round, the
determination will be based on information received by the applicable PIF deadline. An eligible
disadvantaged community consists of all of the following:
1. The service area of an eligible applicant, the service area of a community that is located
outside the entity's service area, or a portion within the entity's service area if the
proposed project is providing new service to existing residents in unserved areas; and
2. meets the following affordability criteria:
(a) Has an Annual Median Household Income (AMHI) that is no more than 75 percent of
the state median household income using an acceptable source of socioeconomic
data, and
(b)the Household Cost Factor (HCF) that considers income, unemployment rates, and
population trends must be greater than or equal to 1 percent if only water or sewer
service is provided or greater than or equal to 2 percent if both water and sewer
service are provided.
Acceptable Source of Socioeconomic Data for SFY 2022
For SFY 2022, the TWDB will utilize:
(1) U.S. Census 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates, along with
the 2011-2015 ACS 5-year estimates for determining whether there was a decline in
population, or
(2) Data from a survey approved by the Executive Administrator of a statistically acceptable
sampling of customers in the service area completed in accordance with the most current
Socioeconomic Surveys Guidelines (WRD-285) posted on the TWDB website. Any survey
being used for income determination must be conducted within five years of the date the
TWDB receives the PIF. An entity must submit documentation that substantiates the
inadequate or absent Census data that led to the need to conduct a survey. All entities
must obtain prior approval to use survey data instead of the most recently available
American Community Survey data.
Affordability Calculation and Disadvantaged Community Eligibility
Step 1. Comparison to State annual median household income.
The AMHI for the project service area (either entire or portion) must be 75 percent or less than
the state's AMHI using an acceptable source of socioeconomic data for SFY 2022.
Step 2. Determining the Household Cost Factor
The total HCF is comprised of a household cost factor based on the AMHI, plus an additional
household cost factor based on unemployment rates (if the unemployment rate for the service
area is greater than the state average) plus an additional household cost factor based on
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 51
population decline (if there has been a decline in the population of the service area over a
period of time). The HCF used in the affordability criteria takes into consideration the potential
burden that the cost of a proposed project will place on a household. The entity's total HCF,
which consists of the Income HCF (the percentage of annual household income that goes
toward water, sewer, fees/surcharges, and project financing costs) combined with the
Unemployment Rate HCF (not to exceed 0.75 percent) and the Population Decline HCF (not to
exceed 0.5 percent), must be:
• 1.0 percent or greater if the entity currently offers either water or sewer service, or
• 2.0 percent or greater if the entity currently offers both water and sewer service.
The 1.0 and 2.0 percentage levels are known as the "base" levels in determining the maximum
allocation amount.
The Unemployment Rate HCF and Population Decline HCF can only increase the total HCF, not
decrease it.
Step 3. Principal Forgiveness Eligibility and Levels
The eligible level of principal forgiveness for a project is based on the difference between the
calculated total HCF under Step 2 and the minimum HCF of 1 percent (if only water or sewer

Individual projects will be reviewed for disadvantaged community eligibility as stand-alone
projects. However, if an entity submits an application covering multiple PIFs or multiple
applications for multiple PlFs within the SFY prior to any receiving a funding commitment, the
disadvantaged community eligibility may be re-evaluated based on the combined costs of all the
projects.
In instances where the ACS data does not adequately reflect an entity's service area (e.g. an
entity serves a community outside of its Certificate of Convenience and Necessity, an entity
serves another system, the entity is a system without a Census Bureau defined boundary, etc.),
a prorated analysis of ACS block group data will be performed to calculate the AMHI. An
example of this method follows:

For entities that serve retail customers with differing rate structures, prorated rates are used, in
some instances, to calculate each entity's household cost factor in SFY 2022. The following
tables are an example of the method used. The TWDB will require use of prorated rates to
determine an entity's water and/or sewer bills when applicable.

If an entity is requesting disadvantaged community status for a portion of its service area, the
combined household cost factor is calculated in the same manner as described above with the
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 53
exception that the annual project financing cost per customer is calculated using the total
household service connections in the full service area (not the portion).
If taxes, surcharges, or other fees are used to subsidize the water and/or sewer system, the
average annual amount per household may be included in calculating the household cost factor
or the combined household cost factor.
Systems owned and operated by a public school or school district will be evaluated for their
annual median household income for their school district boundary. Since school districts
typically do not have individual user costs, a household cost factor calculation cannot be
performed. Therefore, districts with an AMHI less than or equal to 75 percent of the state's
AMHI will automatically receive Disadvantaged Community status with the lowest available level
of principal forgiveness.
If recent reliable data is unavailable for the school district to determine the AMHI, the TWDB will
use information from the Texas Education Agency's Title I, Part A program to determine income
eligibility. If more than 50 percent of the school districts campuses are eligible for the program,
the district's AMHI will be assumed to be less than or equal to 75 percent of the State's AMHI.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 54
Appendix E. Federal Requirements and Assurances
A. Federal Requirements
1. Davis-Bacon Wage Rate Requirements
A subrecipient must comply with the requirements of section 1452(a)(5) of the Safe Drinking
Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300j-12(a)(5)) in all procurement contracts and must require
contractors to include compliance with section 1452(a)(5) of the Safe Drinking Water Act in
all subcontracts and other lower tiered transactions. All contracts and subcontracts for the
construction project must contain in full in any contract in excess of$2,000 the wage rate
requirements contract clauses prescribed by TWDB. Section 1452(a)(5) requires
compliance with 40 U.S. Code Sections 3141 to 3144, 3146, and 3147 covering wage rate
requirements. TWDB guidance is available at
http://www.twdb.texas.gov/financial/instructions/doc/DB-0156.pdf.
2. American Iron and Steel (AIS)
The TWDB and all DWSRF financial assistance recipients will comply with the American
Iron and Steel (AIS) requirement in applicable federal law, including federal appropriation
acts. Federal law requires DWSRF assistance recipients to use iron and steel products that
are produced in the United States for projects for the construction, alteration, maintenance,
or repair of a public water system or treatment works.
The term "iron and steel products" means the following products made primarily of iron or
steel:
• lined or unlined pipes and fittings
• manhole covers and other municipal castings
• hydrants
• tanks
• flanges, pipe clamps and restraints
• valves
• structural steel
• reinforced precast concrete
• construction materials
EPA may waive the AIS requirement under certain circumstances.
Furthermore, if the original financial assistance agreement for the planning and/or design of
a project closed prior to January 17, 2014, then the AIS provision would not apply to the
construction phase of the same project. TWDB guidance is available at
http://www.twdb.texas.gov/financial/instructions/doc/TWDB-1106.docx.
3. Environmental Reviews
Environmental review requirements are specified in Texas Administrative Code, Title 31,
Part 10, Chapter 371.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 55
4. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Assistance recipients must maintain project accounts according to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles as issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board,
including standards relating to the reporting of infrastructure assets.
5. Compliance with Cross-cutting Authorities
There are a number of federal laws, executive orders, and federal policies that apply to
projects and activities receiving federal financial assistance, regardless of whether the
federal laws authorizing the assistance make them applicable. These federal authorities are
referred to as cross-cutting authorities or cross-cutters. All cross-cutters apply to
Equivalency projects and only federal anti-discrimination laws, also known as the super
cross-cutters, apply to Non-Equivalency projects.
The cross-cutters can be divided into three groups: environmental; social policies; and,
economic and miscellaneous authorities.
• Environmental cross-cutters include federal laws and executive orders that relate to
preservation of historical and archaeological sites, endangered species, wetlands,
agricultural land, etc. This cross-cutter requirement includes a National Environmental
Policy Act(NEPA) compliant environmental review. When conducting the NEPA-like
review the TWDB will inform EPA when consultation or coordination by EPA with other
federal agencies is necessary to resolve issues regarding compliance with applicable
federal authorities.
• Social policy cross-cutters include requirements such as minority and women's business
enterprise participation goals, equal opportunity employment goals, and
nondiscrimination laws. This cross-cutter requirement includes compliance with the
EPA's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program administered by TWDB.
• Economic cross-cutters directly regulate the expenditure of federal funds such as the
prohibition against entering into contracts with debarred or suspended firms.
The Equivalency projects that are considered federal are those entered into the Federal
Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System.
6. Financial, Managerial, and Technical (FMT) Capacity
Prior to receiving or closing a commitment, the TCEQ will conduct a review of each
applicant's FMT capacity. All applicants must receive FMT approval before closing on
financial assistance funding.
7. Additional Subsidization
In accordance with the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260), and 42
U.S.C. 300j-12(d)(2) the TWDB is required to provide 20 percent of the capitalization grant
of$86,202,000, or$17,240,400, in Additional Subsidization. In addition, of the $813,000 of
reallotted funds from FFY 2019, the TWDB will provide additional subsidization of$211,380
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 56
and another$235,770 of additional subsidization may be used for a total of$447,150. The
TWDB has allocated Additional Subsidization for SFY 2022 as follows:
Funding Option Additional Subsidy
Allocation
Disadvantaged Community $16,000,000
Disadvantaged Community-Small/Rural only $2,000,000
Subsidized Green (incl. Water Conservation) $2,000,000
Very Small Systems $2,000,000
Very Small Systems - "Securing Safe Water" $1,000,000
Initiative
Emergency Preparedness—Severe Weather $3,000,000
Urgent Need - "Securing Safe Water" Initiative/ $2,000,000
Contaminants
Urgent Need—Other(Disaster Recovery, etc.) $2,000,000
Total $30,000,000
Of the total Additional Subsidization being made available for SFY 2022, an amount equal to
$12,068,280 may only be used where such funds would be for initial financing for an eligible
recipient or to buy, refinance, or restructure the debt obligations of eligible recipients where
such debt was incurred on or after December 27, 2020. A total of$162,600 of FFY 2019
additional subsidization may only be used where such funds would be for initial financing for
an eligible recipient or to buy, refinance, or restructure the debt obligations of eligible
recipients where such debt was incurred on or after February 15, 2019. The TWDB may
increase the allocations to provide the full eligible amount to a project. The TWDB may
allocate up to the maximum of$42,686,130 as principal forgiveness in accordance with the
SDWA and the FFY 2019 and FFY 2021 capitalization grant appropriations as applicable.
TWDB may consider projects receiving principal forgiveness under the Urgent Need,
Emergency Preparedness, Very Small Systems, and Green that qualify as Disadvantaged
Communities as part of the additional subsidization authorized for Disadvantaged
Communities under the SDWA.
8. Green Project Reserve
The capitalization grant for FFY 2021 states that at the discretion of each State, the
capitalization grant may be used for projects to address green infrastructure, water or
energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally innovative activities. The TWDB
is establishing a goal to allocate an equivalent of 10 percent of the capitalization grant to
approved green project costs. The discretionary allocation is known as the Green Project
Reserve (GPR).
To encourage green infrastructure projects, a portion of the additional subsidy will be made
available for projects that include green infrastructure. In order to be eligible to receive
green subsidy, projects must have approved green project elements with costs that exceed
30 percent of the total project costs.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 57
Green components include green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements, or
other environmentally innovative activities. Eligibility for all green projects will be determined
by the TWDB.
Appendix L, "Initial Invited Green Projects", lists invited green projects with project
descriptions that detail the green category associated with the project and how much of the
project's total cost is applicable to the GPR.
TWDB information on green project eligibility may be found online at
http://www.twdb.texas.gov/financial/instructions/doc/TWDB-0163.docm.

Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SPY 2022 Intended Use Plan 60
Appendix F. Bypass Procedures
The Executive Administrator may decide to bypass, or skip, higher ranked projects in favor of
lower ranked projects to ensure that funds available are utilized in a timely manner and that
statutory and capitalization grant requirements are met. If an entity is offered funding for any
project that has an interrelated project ranked lower on the list, the TWDB Executive
Administrator will have discretion to also offer funding for the interrelated project.
Reasons for bypassing projects are listed below, but are not limited to:
1. Fulfill the Minimum Additional Subsidization Requirement
A project on the PPL or IIPL may be bypassed to fulfill the federal minimum additional
subsidization requirement.
2. Intent to Apply and Application Submission Deadlines
A project may be bypassed if the applicant did not submit any intent to apply form or
information by a specified deadline or the application is not received by the TWDB-
established submission deadline and it is not administratively complete by the
established deadline.
3. Projects Previously Funded
To fund the construction phase of a project that previously received funding for planning,
acquisition and/or design.
4. Disadvantaged Community/Disadvantaged Community-Small / Rural only
In the event that there are not enough projects with completed applications eligible to
receive Disadvantaged Community funding, the Executive Administrator may bypass
other projects to invite additional projects that are eligible for additional subsidization.
5. Green Project Reserve
In the event that there are not enough projects with completed applications eligible to
meet the Green Project Reserve goal, the Executive Administrator may bypass other
projects to invite additional projects that are eligible for review of their green components
and possible funding.
6. Very Small Systems
In the event that there are not enough projects with completed applications eligible to
receive Very Small Systems funding, the Executive Administrator may bypass other
projects to invite additional projects that are eligible for Additional Subsidization.
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund / SFY 2022 Intended Use Plan 61
7. Urgent Need
The Executive Administrator may bypass projects to provide Urgent Need funding to
replace or rehabilitate essential public water facilities that pose an imminent peril to the
public health, safety, environment, or welfare with a threat of failure in response to an
urgent condition. Projects will be rated by the TCEQ and added to the PPL as an Urgent
Need project.
8. Small Communities
A minimum of 15 percent of the capitalization grant will be made available to systems
serving populations not more than 10,000. In the event that small community projects
with completed applications do not equal 15 percent of the capitalization grant, the
Executive Administrator may bypass other projects to include additional small
community projects.
9. Readiness to Proceed
The Executive Administrator may bypass projects to include those deemed ready to
proceed to construction.
10. Past Project Performance
If the applicant has failed to close a commitment or complete a project in a timely
manner under a prior IUP, and it is determined that such failure to perform could
jeopardize the timely use of funds for a project under this IUP, the Executive
Administrator may bypass the project.
11. Financial Capacity
A project may be bypassed if the Executive Administrator determines that the applicant
will be unable to repay the SRF financial assistance for the project.

prone to leaks.The system also has physical deficiencies
such as non-functional valves and a lack of additional
isolation valves and curb stops.
Under this project,the Fabens Water District(EPCWCID#4)
proposes to abandon the existing distribution system in place
and furnish and install approximately 6,100 LF of new 6-inch
PVC C900 piping,including all related appurtenances and

system during a transient event(power outage)must be
greater than 20 psi.
A surge evaluation of the existing 1-10 booster station
indicated that the system's pressure dropped below the
minimum TCEQ required pressure of 20 psi during a power
failure event.
Per TCEQ requirements,the El Paso County Water
Improvements District#4(EPCWCID#4)requires an elevated
storage capacity of 100 gallons per connection or a pressure
tank capacity of 20 gallons per connection to meet this
requirement.
Under this project,the EPCWCID#4 proposes installing a
new 120-gallon bladder tank to meet the pressure
requirements in the event of a power failure event specified
by TCEQ.

Management
A. Asset Management
1 a. In the past 5 years, has an asset management plan been adopted by the entity's governing
body that incorporates an inventory of all assets, an assessment of the criticality and condition of
the assets, a prioritization of capital projects needed, and a budget? Note: A Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) alone does not constitute an asset management plan. N
b. If"No," is the entity planning to prepare an asset management plan as part of the proposed
project? If so, include language in the Project Description that states this. N
2. Has asset management training been administered to the entity's governing body and
employees? N

Does the proposed project address specific targets, goals, or measures in a water conservation or
drought contingency plan that has been adopted by the entity's governing body within the past five
years? Y
If"Yes," 1) list the targets, goals, or measures to be supported; 2) describe how they will be
addressed by the proposed project; Increase pressure and prevent leaking deteriorated lines
throughout the distribution system. By removing/replacing the existing deteriorated lines the
amount of gallons lost throughout the distribution system will decrease and will increase the
system's overall pressure.
C. Reclaimed Water
Does the proposed project involve the use of reclaimed water? N
D. Energy Efficiency
Does the proposed project address a specific goal(s) in a system-wide or plant-wide energy
assessment, audit, or optimization study that has been conducted within the past three years? N
E. Implementation of Water Plans
Does the proposed project implement elements contained in a state or regional water plan,
watershed protection plan, integrated water resource management plan, regional facility plan,
regionalization or consolidation plan, finalized Economically Distressed Areas Program (EDAP)
facility plan, or a total maximum daily loads (TMDL) implementation plan? N

Re: City of Port Arthur
Water Line Project
TWDB DWSRF Project No.62633
Engineering Feasibility Report Approval
Dear Mr. Matthews:
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) has reviewed and is approving the final
engineering feasibility report (EFR) for The City of Port Arthur (City) 2014 Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) project, identified as Project No. 62633.The final EFR was
received by the TWDB on July 8, 2019.The final EFR was sealed and signed on July 8, 2019,
by Joe M.Wilson,Jr., P.E.with Arceneaux Wilson& Cole, LLC. of Port Arthur, Texas.
The EFR is a basic document that describes the following proposed project to be completed
under the 2014 DWSRF funding commitment.The City is proposing to replace existing
water lines with new water lines of similar size.Approximately 114,186 linear feet (LF) of
deteriorated waterlines throughout the City have been identified for replacement. The
water line project will be prioritized based on water loss, low pressure, and a system
analysis. In addition, the project includes approximately 13,583 LF of minor extensions of
the water lines.Along with the water line replacement, the project may require isolation
valves, fire hydrants, fittings, and all necessary appurtenances, including pavement repairs.
The approval of the EFR document by the TWDB does not replace any approvals that may
be required by other local, state, or federal agencies for the work proposed within this
project.
Please be aware that any changes to the proposed project that might have environmental
impacts must be presented to Gayla Duaine,TWDB Environmental Reviewer, prior to
implementing the changes. Ms. Duaine can be reached at (512) 475-1521 or via email at
gayla.duaine@twdb.texas.gov.
