NR 162.04(1)(a)33.b.b. Installing new or replacing existing storm sewers or BMPs for controlling on-site runoff at treatment facilities, lift stations, septage receiving facilities and other treatment works facilities and properties.

NR 162.04 NoteNote: Storm water control sewers or BMPs described in subd. 33. are considered wastewater treatment projects as they are designed for purposes of controlling storm water around wastewater treatment works facilities, and projects for these sewers or BMPs would be funded under subch. II rather than under subch. III for storm water projects.

NR 162.04(1)(a)34.34. ‘Street restoration.’ Restoring streets and rights-of-way, and repairing items damaged during construction of the scored project, such as pavement, sidewalks, water mains, and storm sewers. Eligibility of costs may be prorated based on participation by one or more other funding sources, or on the percent of the project attributable to CWFP-eligible activities.

NR 162.04 NoteNote: Other funding sources that tend to participate in the types of projects that involve street restoration include the department of transportation, the community development block grant program, and the U.S. department of agriculture rural development community programs. Proration of costs can be due to the other funding source covering a portion of costs that would otherwise be eligible for CWFP funding or because some of the project costs are not eligible, such as watermain costs being ineligible when the project purpose is to replace both watermains and sanitary sewers.

NR 162.04(1)(a)35.35. ‘Watermains.’ Relocating watermains if necessary for construction, and, if breakage due to construction of a scored project occurs, replacing watermains of the same size or required minimum size.

NR 162.04(1)(b)(b) Eligible at market rate. Costs eligible for market interest rate financing of a scored project include any of the following:

NR 162.04(1)(b)1.1. The cost of reserve capacity for sewage collection system, interceptor, or individual system projects in unsewered municipalities necessary to serve projected flows beyond the initial flows expected at the project completion date.

NR 162.04(1)(b)2.2. The cost of reserve capacity for wastewater projects necessary to treat projected flows beyond 10 years from the project completion date.

NR 162.04(1)(b)3.3. The cost of capacity for present and future flows from industrial wastewater users or from industrial areas regulated under ch. NR 216.

NR 162.04(1)(b)4.4. The cost for the flow from state and federal facilities if the flow from these facilities exceeds 5 percent of the total flow to the treatment works.

NR 162.04(1)(b)5.5. The cost of any portion of a project to correct violations of effluent limitations contained in a permit issued under ch. 283, Stats.

NR 162.04(1)(b)6.6. Costs for providing sewers in a previously unsewered area in accordance with s. 281.58 (8) (c), Stats.

NR 162.04 NoteNote: A scored project in an unsewered area is eligible for below-market-rate financing if the department finds that at least two-thirds of the initial flow will be wastewater originating from residences in existence at least 20 years prior to submittal of the financial assistance application. If an unsewered project does not meet the two-thirds rule, s. 281.58 (8) (c), Stats., allows the CWFP to fund the project at market rate only.

NR 162.04(1)(b)7.7. The amount of project costs determined appropriate for a sanction under s. NR 162.08 (4) (b) for noncompliance with DBE good faith effort requirements established in s. NR 162.08 (4) (a).

NR 162.04(1)(c)1.1. The amount of the costs described in par. (b) 1. to 4. is determined using a parallel cost percentage that is calculated as follows:

NR 162.04(1)(c)1.b.b. Calculate a reduced capacity condition by subtracting the flows and loadings associated with par. (b) 1. to 4. from the total design capacity.
