I. Introduction
Hawaiʻi’s Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund (commonly referred to as the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund or CWSRF) provides low-interest loans to Hawaiʻi’s four (4) counties to construct high-
priority wastewater, stormwater, and non-point source projects. Since its establishment in 1988, the
program has issued over $1.416 billion in low-interest loans, providing significant savings in interest
costs to the counties.
Each year, the CWSRF Program is required to prepare an Intended Use Plan (IUP) as part of its request to
the EPA for an annual capitalization grant. The IUP sets program goals, identifies the intended use of
federal and state funds to be provided during the year, and describes how the program will meet the
requirements of the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2026 Appropriations Act.
On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (P.L. 117-58), also
known as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021. The BIL appropriates funds to be
administered through the existing CWSRF program from FFY 2022 through 2026 and to be utilized from
SFY 2023 through 2027. There are two (2) appropriations per year for the CWSRF (i.e., BIL CWSRF
General Supplemental appropriation and BIL CWSRF Emerging Contaminants (EC) Supplemental
appropriation).
II. FFY 2026 Project Funding Requirements and Project Selection
Hawaiʻi is expected to receive a federal capitalization grant of $5,532,000.00 under the FFY 2026 Base
CWSRF Appropriations Act and $20,726,000.00 under the FFY 2026 BIL CWSRF Appropriations Act (i.e.,
$19,079,000.00 for BIL CWSRF General Supplemental and $1,647,000.00 BIL CWSRF EC Supplemental).
The following requirements apply:
1. American Iron and Steel (AIS): Funds made available from the CWSRF may not be used for a
project for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of treatment works unless all the
iron and steel products used in the project are produced in the United States. EPA provides AIS
national waivers, including the use of a De Minimis waiver for projects.
2. Fiscal Sustainability Plan (FSP): For applicable CWSRF projects involving repair, replacement, or
expansion of publicly owned treatment works, the recipient of a loan shall develop and
implement an FSP or certify that the recipient has developed and implemented an FSP that
includes:
• an introduction indicating whom the document is prepared for and stating the purpose of
the document;
• an asset inventory of critical assets that are a part of the treatment works, which includes,
but is not limited to:
i. type of asset;
ii. installation date;
iii. asset condition;
iv. estimated useful remaining life;
v. service history;
DRAFT
4
• an evaluation of the condition and performance of inventoried assets or asset groupings;
• a certification that the recipient has evaluated and will be implementing water and energy
conservation efforts as part of the plan; and
• a fiscal plan for maintaining, repairing, and, as necessary, replacing the treatment works and
a plan for funding such activities.
3. Cost and Effectiveness Analysis: For applicable CWSRF projects, the recipient of a loan shall
certify that the recipient:
• has studied and evaluated the cost and effectiveness of the processes, materials,
techniques, and technologies for carrying out the proposed project or activity for which
assistance is sought under this title; and
• has selected, to the maximum extent practicable, a project or activity that maximizes the
potential for efficient water use, reuse, recapture, and conservation, and energy
conservation, taking into account:
i. the cost of constructing the project or activity;
ii. the cost of operating and maintaining the project or activity over the life of the project
or activity; and
iii. the cost of replacing the project or activity.
4. Green Project Reserve (GPR): To the extent that there are sufficient eligible project applications,
not less than 10% of the capitalization grant shall be used by the state for projects to address
green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally
innovative activities. Various minimum amounts are to be allocated to the GPR. Table 1 shows
how this requirement will be met.
• Base CWSRF GPR:
i. During SFY 2027, the plan is to assign the FFY 2026 GPR amount, estimated to be
$553,200.00, to C150054-53 Lahaina Recycled Water Force Main
Construction/Rehabilitation.
• BIL CWSRF General Supplemental GPR:
i. During SFY 2027, the plan is to assign the FFY 2026 GPR amount, estimated to be
$1,907,900.00, to C150051-82 Honouliuli WWTP Phase 1C - Headworks, HRBC, Solids
Process and Misc. Improvements (SLA3).
• BIL CWSRF EC GPR:
i. During SFY 2027, the plan is to assign the FFY 2026 GPR amount, estimated to be
$164,700.00, to C150051-82 Honouliuli WWTP Phase 1C - Headworks, HRBC, Solids
Process and Misc. Improvements (SLA3).
5. Additional Subsidization:
• Base CWSRF Additional Subsidization:
DRAFT
5
Under the Base CWSRF additional subsidy provision, two distinct and additive subsidy
authorities are included in the grant:
i. Congressional Additional Subsidy Authority:
Per congressional authority, the Hawaiʻi CWSRF program must provide 10% of the Base
CWSRF capitalization grant as additional subsidization to any CWSRF-eligible recipient.
For the FFY 2026 Base CWSRF appropriation, the program plans to allocate 10%, a total
of $553,200.00, as additional subsidization to C150055-08 Wailua WWTP Improvements
Phase II.
ii. Clean Water Act (CWA) Additional Subsidy Authority:
Per the CWA, the Hawai‘i CWSRF program is mandated to use at least 10%, but no more
than 30%, of the capitalization grant to provide additional subsidization to eligible
CWSRF assistance recipients and project types as described in section 603(i) of the CWA.
For the FFY 2026 Base CWSRF appropriation, the program plans to allocate 10%, a total
of $553,200.00, as additional subsidization to C150054-53 Lahaina Recycled Water Force
Main Construction/Rehabilitation.
• BIL CWSRF General Supplemental Additional Subsidization:
In accordance with BIL, the Hawai‘i CWSRF program is mandated to provide 49% of the FFY
2026 BIL CWSRF General Supplemental capitalization grant as additional subsidization to
eligible CWSRF assistance recipients and project types as described in section 603(i) of the
CWA. For the FFY 2026 BIL CWSRF General Supplemental appropriation, the program plans
to allocate 49%, a total of $9,348,710.00, as additional subsidization to the following
projects:
i. $2,963,104.00 to C150054-53 Lahaina Recycled Water Force Main
Construction/Rehabilitation
ii. $3,516,303.00 to C150062-53 Hilo WWTP Rehabilitation and Replacement Project Phase
I (SLA2)
iii. $1,869,303.00 to C150051-82 Honouliuli WWTP Phase 1C - Headworks, HRBC, Solids
Process and Misc. Improvements (SLA3)
iv. $1,000,000.00 to RCC00KA-03 County of Kauai Residential Cesspool Conversion Program
3
• BIL CWSRF EC Additional Subsidization:
In accordance with BIL, the Hawaiʻi CWSRF program is mandated to provide 100% of the FFY
2026 BIL CWSRF EC capitalization grant as additional subsidization to any eligible CWSRF
assistance recipient for any project eligible under section 603(c) of the CWA that addresses
emerging contaminants. For the FFY 2026 BIL CWSRF EC, the program plans to allocate
100%, a total of $1,647,000.00, as additional subsidization to C150051-82 Honouliuli WWTP
Phase 1C - Headworks, HRBC, Solids Process and Misc. Improvements (SLA3).
DRAFT

6. Davis-Bacon: The Davis-Bacon Act shall apply to any construction of treatment works carried
out in whole or in part with assistance made available by the CWSRF. The Hawaiʻi CWSRF
Program will continue to implement Davis-Bacon requirements with the exception provided by
the Class Deviation - Prevailing Wage Interview Requirement in Clean Water and Drinking Water
State Revolving Funds (CWSRF and DWSRF) Capitalization Grants memorandum of November
16, 2012. This waives the requirement for wage interviews to be conducted within the first two
weeks of the start of construction.
7. Reporting: The Hawaiʻi CWSRF Program will continue its quarterly reporting in the EPA Office of
Water State Revolving Fund (OWSRF) data system (formerly CWSRF Benefits Reporting (CBR)
system) for all CWSRF Base and BIL projects. Reporting will be done on GPR, Federal Funding
Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) requirements, and environmental benefits from
new projects per the EPA Order on Environmental Benefits. This information will also be
included in the Annual Report, as well as the "two-pager" reports on environmental benefits.
8. Cash Draw Ratio: As of November 18, 2022, the Hawaiʻi CWSRF program is no longer required
to comply with the cash draw rules in the CWSRF regulations at 40 CFR 35.3155(d)(5)(i) and (ii)
and 40 CFR 35.3160(b)(2)-(4). The CWSRF will deposit state match funds (or an equivalent
amount of non-federal funds) prior to drawing any funds from the federal capitalization grant.
The CWSRF may draw funds from the capitalization grant at a ratio of 100% of the disbursement
amount.
9. Other Federal Requirements: Other federal requirements apply in an amount equal to the
capitalization grant. These requirements are:
• Single audit Act (OMB 2 CFR 200, Subpart F)
• Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) compliance
• Federal environmental cross-cutting authorities
• Equivalency: CWSRF projects specifically identified by the Hawaiʻi CWSRF program that total
an amount at least equal to the capitalization grant from the EPA and comply with all the
federal requirements. Potential equivalency projects for FFY 2026 are identified in Table 1.
All Base CWSRF, BIL CWSRF General Supplemental, and BIL CWSRF EC capitalization grants
must meet the equivalency requirements separately.
• Blending Funds and Cash Draws: States have the flexibility to craft single assistance
agreements (e.g., loans) that contain multiple types of construction components and
activities. These assistance agreements may commit funds from multiple BIL capitalization
grants and base program funds. Upon disbursement of funds, these assistance agreements
may draw from both BIL and base SRF capitalization grants for eligible project components.
BIL and base funds must be separately managed and tracked for accounting purposes.
States are encouraged to draw BIL funds first when projects are funded with both BIL and
base funds.
10. Disadvantaged Communities: Congress has requested that states direct subsidies to
disadvantaged communities. In the past, the CWSRF has funded projects such as the closure of
large-capacity cesspools servicing relatively low-income or sparsely populated areas and will
continue to do so. The BIL was designed to rebuild America’s infrastructure and invest in
disadvantaged communities. The Hawai‘i CWSRF will review, refine, and improve its
affordability criteria and definition of “disadvantaged communities” as necessary.
DRAFT
7
11. Affordability Criteria: The Hawai‘i CWSRF program established its affordability criteria on
September 30, 2015, and revised it on October 13, 2021. The affordability analysis included the
applicant’s income, unemployment data, population trends, and other data determined relevant
by the Hawai‘i CWSRF program. The affordability criteria will neither singly determine nor
guarantee whether the Hawai‘i CWSRF program will enter into a binding commitment for
additional subsidization with an applicant.
12. Signage:
• From the FFY 2015 SRF base capitalization grant and each year thereafter, the Hawai‘i
CWSRF program must comply with EPA’s Guidelines for Enhancing Public Awareness of SRF
Assistance Agreements (also known as “SRF Signage Guidelines”) in order to enhance public
awareness of EPA assistance agreements nationwide. The Hawaiʻi CWSRF program will
ensure compliance with EPA’s Signage policy is met for SFY 2027 by implementing the
method which best balances the following two (2) goals:
i. The sign will satisfy the overall objective of communicating the EPA’s role in funding
assistance agreements that achieve positive benefits.
ii. The implementation method should be practically and financially viable for states and
communities and avoid any overly burdensome investment of time and resources.
iii. Signage requirements will be considered an equivalency requirement for SRF programs
and will not be required to apply to all SRF projects. The guidelines provide the
following options as acceptable:
A. Standard signage
B. Posters, wall signage, or brochures in a public building or location
C. Newspaper/periodical advertisement or press release for project construction,
groundbreaking ceremony, or operation of the new or improved facility
D. Online signage placed on a community website or a social media outlet
13. Architectural and Engineering (A/E) Services Procurement: In accordance with the Attorney
General’s certification letter dated March 21, 2022, which certifies that using Hawaiʻi Revised
Statutes Chapter 103D - The State of Hawai‘i Public Procurement Code is equivalent to 40 USC
1101 et seq., the Hawaiʻi CWSRF program may fund A/E projects that receive the capitalization
grants, provided that our capitalization grant application for SFY 2027 includes the certification.
14. The Hawai‘i CWSRF Program’s definition of a Treatment Works is the following:
Treatment works mean any treatment unit and its associated collection system and disposal
system, excluding non-point source and individual wastewater systems. Treatment unit means
any plant, facility, or equipment used in the treatment of wastewater, including the necessary
pumps, power equipment, blowers, motors, holding tanks, flow splitter, and other process
equipment.
Projects that do not fall under this definition are not required to comply with the following:
• Hawai‘i State Environmental Review Process (SERP), which includes:
DRAFT
8
i. the environmental decision document (e.g. prior decision document, exempt project
declaration, environmental assessment, or environmental impact statement);
ii. the eighteen (18) environmental cross-cutting authorities such as the consultation
process under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 7 of the
Endangered Species Act, etc.
• AIS requirement,
• Davis-Bacon requirement, and
• Fiscal Sustainability Plan.
15. Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA): The BIL creates the BABAA domestic sourcing
requirements for federal financial assistance programs for infrastructure, including the SRF
programs. The BABAA requires that, no later than May 14, 2022, none of the funds made
available for a federal financial assistance program for infrastructure may be obligated for a
project unless all of the iron, steel, manufactured products, and construction materials used in
the project are produced in the United States. These requirements are for projects identified as
using funds “directly made available by” a capitalization grant (i.e. equivalency projects), as
applicable.
16. Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants Program: America’s Water
Infrastructure Act of 2018 amended section 221 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
(FWPCA, a.k.a. the “Clean Water Act”, “CWA”) to reauthorize the Sewer Overflow and
Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants Program (a.k.a. the “Overflow and Stormwater Grant
program” or “OSG program”), which authorizes EPA to award grants to states to assist
communities in meeting combined sewer overflows (CSO), sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), and
stormwater management infrastructure needs. In selecting from among municipalities applying
for OSG grants, a state shall give priority to an applicant that is requesting a grant for a project
that is on a state’s IUP pursuant to section 606(c).
17. Section 603(c)(2-3) of the FWPCA: Section 319 and 320: The Projects funded under Sections 319
and 320 must support the implementation of a current EPA-approved state nonpoint source
management plan and a comprehensive conservation and management plan, respectively. The
following project(s) meet these criteria and are identified for funding under these authorities:
• RCC00KA-03 County of Kauai Residential Cesspool Conversion Program 3
18. Federal Civil Rights Responsibilities, Including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964: The EPA has
a responsibility to ensure that recipients and sub-recipients of federal financial assistance from
the EPA comply with federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race,
color, national origin (including limited English proficiency), disability, sex, and age, including
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EPA expects the state to review program activities to
ensure compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The CWSRF program affirms its
review and commitment to Title VI requirements in IUPs and that financial agreements and
contracts include appropriate Title VI nondiscrimination language.
19. CWSRF 2% Technical Assistance (TA): The BIL amends the CWA to include section 603(k), which
allows States to use up to an amount equal to 2% of their annual capitalization grant awards
received after November 15, 2021, to provide TA to rural, small, and tribal publicly owned
DRAFT
9
treatment works. The Hawaiʻi CWSRF program reserves the authority to utilize any unused
portion of the 2% TA allowance for future TA needs if the full amount allowed under a
capitalization grant is not used. From FFY 2022 through FFY 2026, the total unused amount of
TA from the Base CWSRF appropriation is $753,260.00, the total unused amount of TA from the
BIL CWSRF General Supplemental appropriation is $1,438,300.00, and the total unused amount
of TA from the BIL CWSRF EC appropriation is $147,960.00.
• Base CWSRF: The Hawai‘i CWSRF program does not plan to utilize the 2% TA from the FFY
2026 Base CWSRF appropriation.
• BIL CWSRF General Supplemental: The Hawai‘i CWSRF program does not plan to utilize the
2% TA from the FFY 2026 BIL CWSRF General Supplemental appropriation.
• BIL CWSRF EC: The Hawai‘i CWSRF program does not plan to utilize the 2% TA from the FFY
2026 BIL CWSRF EC appropriation.
20. Clean Watershed Needs Survey (CWNS): The BIL expands the CWNS to include all capital
projects eligible for CWSRF funding. The Hawai‘i CWSRF will continue to complete and submit
data to the CWNS Data Entry Portal (DEP) every four (4) years as required.
Table 1 lists projects that Hawai‘i CWSRF plans to fund in SFY 2027. Although other projects may have a
higher ranking, those projects are not ready to proceed at this time.

III.Long-Term and Short-Term Goals
The Hawai‘i CWSRF Program has developed long-term and short-term goals, listed in Table 2 and
Table 3, respectively.
Table 2: Long-Term Goals
1.Provide financial assistance for eligible projects that protect Hawai‘i’s public health; correct
surface water quality impairment; eliminate or prevent ground water contamination; control
point and non-point pollution sources; promote water reuse, energy efficiency and sustainability;
and achieve compliance with federal and state water quality standards.
2.Ensure fiscal soundness and perpetuity of the CWSRF.
3.Ensure equitable access to financial assistance for underserved and small communities in Hawaii,
providing tailored support to address their water infrastructure challenges and promote
sustainable practices in compliance with regulatory standards.
4.Support the State of Hawaiʻi’s mandate to eliminate all cesspools by 2050 (Act 125) by providing
assistance to replace cesspools with approved wastewater treatment systems.
Table 3: Short-Term Goals
1.Promote water reuse, energy efficiency, and/or other innovative environmental projects.
2.Reduce all unliquidated loan obligations.
3.Provide loans with competitive interest rates while still assuring the program's perpetuity.
4.Revisit standard operating procedures to improve program efficiency.
5.Prepare a strategic outreach/marketing plan and project planning process and procedures to
address the slow rate of readiness by assistance recipients to enter into commitment
agreements, and to establish a sustainable pipeline of projects.
6.Enhance disbursement efficiency by streamlining procedures and reducing processing times,
ensuring timely release of funds to eligible projects, while maintaining stringent oversight to
guarantee proper allocation.
7.Ensure high fund utilization rates by maintaining a robust pipeline of ready-to-go projects,
continuously identifying and preparing projects for funding to meet demand and maximize
program effectiveness.
DRAFT
11
IV. Project Eligibility and Selection
CWSRF project funding is available for public facilities and systems owned by a state or county
government agency. Projects eligible for funding must be listed on the current Project Priority List
(Appendix B – Hawai‘i – Project Priority List for SFY 2027). All projects scheduled for CWSRF funding will
be reviewed for consistency with appropriate plans developed under Sections 208, 303(e), 319, and 320
of the FWPCA.
All CWSRF-eligible projects and activities may be funded through the Base CWSRF and BIL CWSRF
General Supplemental appropriations. Projects and activities with a primary purpose of addressing
emerging contaminants may be funded through the BIL CWSRF EC appropriation.
The Water Resources Reform and Development Act of 2014 amendments expanded the CWSRF project
eligibility. The CWSRF Program will be evaluating the feasibility of including land purchases, privately
owned systems, and decentralized wastewater treatment system projects in the program.
Stormwater discharges from municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) are a major concern in
urbanized areas due to the high concentration of pollutants found in these discharges. The Hawai‘i
CWSRF Program provides loan funding for the construction of MS4 projects. Table 4 shows the types of
projects that are eligible for CWSRF funding.
DRAFT
12
Table 4: Project Eligible for CWSRF Funding
1.Point Source Projects:
a.New, expanded, or rehabilitated wastewater treatment plants.
b.Publicly owned water reuse systems and distribution lines.
c.New or rehabilitated collector, trunk, and interceptor sewers.
d.Sludge reuse, treatment, and disposal facilities.
e.Septage handling, marine vessel pump out, and treatment facilities.
2.Non-Point Source (NPS) Projects:
a.Watershed planning/assessment or implementation of projects needed to restore NPS
impaired waters.
b.Cesspool replacement with septic tanks, aerobic units, constructed wetlands, or treatment
plants.
c.Equipment purchase of street sweepers, catch basin vacuum vehicles, and sediment traps
and basins.
d.Capping and closure of municipal solid waste landfills, landfill reclamation, landfill leachate
collection, storage and treatment, and landfill gas collection and control systems.
e.Brownfield projects involving site assessments, underground storage tank removal and
disposal, contaminated soil or sediment removal and disposal, capping wells, soil
remediation, controlling stormwater runoff, and monitoring groundwater and surface water
for contaminants.
f.Water quality projects involving leachate and stormwater management at municipal solid
waste transfer stations.
g.Stormwater management projects.
Project selection is based on the project’s priority ranking as well as its readiness to proceed. The
project ranking system, shown in Appendix A – CWSRF Project Ranking Criteria, assigns points to
potential projects based on various criteria such as whether a project corrects surface water quality
impairment, results in energy efficiency, water efficiency, or achieves compliance with a federal or state
enforcement issue.
Points for each project are totaled and a Project Priority List is compiled (Appendix B – Hawai‘i – Project
Priority List for SFY 2027) listing projects in the order of highest to lowest priority. However, a
significant factor in project selection is the project’s readiness to proceed. If a project is high in priority,
but not ready to commence, then it may be bypassed.
V.Loan Policies
Projects selected for funding are financed based on no more than the useful life of the project or 30
years, whichever is less. The CWSRF may provide Programmatic Financing loans to interested counties.
If there are sufficient CWSRF funds, then 100% of eligible project costs are financed. Projects are
subject to an annual interest rate of 0.25% and a semi-annual loan fee of 0.5%. This results in a total
loan rate of about 1.25%, which remains fixed over the life of the loan. At the end of each state fiscal
year, current rates are evaluated to determine if adjustments are needed.
DRAFT
13
VI. Financial Management
Table 5 shows projections for SFY 2027 sources and uses of funds. Included in the fund sources are loan
fees collected, which are classified as either "program income" or "non-program income". Program
income from loan fees covers activities directly related to administering the Hawai‘i CWSRF Program,
such as issuing and servicing loans, engineering support, financial and legal consultation, and
reimbursement for relevant services provided by the State. All non-program income from loan fees that
will be collected in SFY 2027 will be used to pay for personnel and operating expenses (e.g., salaries,
supplies, travel, equipment, etc.). There will be no excess fees available to fund other activities.
As allowed in accordance with the FWPCA section 603(d)(7), the Hawai‘i CWSRF Program will be utilizing
1/5 percent per year of the current valuation of the fund (not including any fees collected that are
placed in the fund) to cover administrative expenses for Program activities. The current valuation of the
fund is $656,581,703.00. For SFY 2027, the CWSRF Program plans to use $1,313,100.00 from the fund to
cover activities directly related to administering the CWSRF Program.

On July 8, 2024, the Hawaii House Bill HB 2453 HD1 SD2 CD1 RELATING TO WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
was signed into law as Act 218. This law authorizes the grant transfer authority between the Drinking
Water Treatment Revolving Loan Fund and the Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund programs, as
currently allowed under title 40 Code of Federal Regulations section 35.3530(c). For SFY 2027, no
transfers between the two programs are planned.
VII.Other Requirements of the Act
The following commitments are intended to meet specific requirements of the Act:
1.Section 602(a) - Environmental Reviews: The State of Hawaiʻi (State) will conduct environmental
reviews in accordance with the State Environmental Review Process Document that was
approved by EPA on February 20, 2018.
2.Section 602(b)(2) - State Matching Funds: The State agrees to deposit into the CWSRF from
State monies a certain percentage of the amount of each EPA grant payment on or before the
date on which the State receives each grant award payment. The Hawaiʻi CWSRF program will
receive the required state match for the Base CWSRF and BIL CWSRF General Supplemental
grants from the Hawaiʻi Legislature appropriation from the issuance of general obligation bond
funds.
DRAFT

a. Base CWSRF State Matching Funds: “[T]he State will deposit in the fund from State moneys
an amount equal to at least 20 percent of the total amount of all capitalization grants which
will be made to the State with funds to be made available under this title and section
205(m) of this Act on or before the date on which each quarterly grant payment will be
made to the State under this title”.
b. BIL CWSRF General Supplemental State Matching Funds: “Provided further, [t]hat for the
funds provided under this paragraph in this Act in [Federal] fiscal year 2022 and [Federal]
fiscal year 2023, the State shall deposit in the State loan fund from State moneys an amount
equal to at least 10 percent of the total amount of the grant to be made to the State,
notwithstanding sections 602(b)(2), 602(b)(3) or 202 of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act”. The match requirement returned to 20 percent of the capitalization grant in federal
fiscal year 2024 and thereafter.
c. BIL CWSRF EC State Matching Funds: “Provided further, [t]hat funds provided under this
paragraph in this Act shall not be subject to the matching or cost share requirements of
sections 602(b)(2), 602(b)(3), or 202 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act”.
3. Section 602(b)(3) - Binding Commitments: The State will enter into binding commitments for
120 percent of each quarterly payment within one year after receipt of each quarterly payment.
A binding commitment is when a commitment notice is issued for a project. Commitment
Notices are issued for projects that are planned to be funded.
4. Section 602(b)(4) - Expeditious and Timely Expenditures: The State will expend all funds in the
CWSRF in an expeditious and timely manner, consistent with law, regulation, and guidance.
States must make commitments (i.e., they must sign assistance agreements, such as loans, with
eligible recipients) within one (1) year after the receipt of each capitalization grant payment
from the EPA. States must make an effort to draw down (expend) funds within two (2) years of
the capitalization grant award.
5. Section 602(b)(7) - State Laws and Procedures: The State agrees to expend each quarterly grant
payment in accordance with its laws and procedures.
6. Consistency with Planning: The State agrees that it will not provide assistance to any project
unless that project complies with all agreements and is consistent with plans developed under
Sections 208, 303(e), 319, or 320 of the Act.
7. National Reporting Needs: The State agrees to provide data or information to EPA as required
for national reports and Congressional or public inquiries.

Appendix A – CWSRF Project Ranking Criteria
Hawai‘i Department of Health Priority System Policies
I. General Policy
The State of Hawai‘i priority system describes the criteria and method used to rank wastewater
pollution control projects considered eligible for SRF funding assistance. The Department of Health
(DOH) gives high priority to projects protecting water quality and contributing to the Green Project
Reserve and/or sustainability issues such as water reuse, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and
environmentally innovative technologies. DOH also funds projects to achieve compliance with
enforcement issues and considers the need for the project.
II. Project Priority List and Project Selection
The loan applicant submits a Proposed Project for SRF Funding Form (Form D-1) (see Figure 1) for each
new project to be considered for funding. The applicant provides a project description and checks off all
criteria applicable to the project. Each criterion is assigned a specific number of points. Points for each
project are totaled and eligible projects are compiled into a Project Priority List in the order of the
project’s ranking, with the highest priority going to those projects with the highest number of points.
Generally, proposed projects will be prioritized in the following order:
1. Water quality protection projects that correct surface water quality impairment or
eliminate/prevent groundwater contamination.
2. Green projects which promote water reuse, energy efficiency, renewable energy, sludge reuse,
sustainable infrastructure, and/or environmentally innovative technologies.
3. Enforcement-related projects which are necessary to achieve compliance with a federal or state
compliance issue, consent decree, or court order.
4. Project need is also considered. Points are awarded for secondary treatment, sewer
rehabilitation, non-point source issues, and stormwater management.
Project selection is based on the project’s ranking, the project’s readiness to proceed to construction,
and the amount of funds available for the particular fiscal year. If additional SRF funds are available
later in the fiscal year, projects are selected for funding from the current Project Priority List. A project
on the list may be bypassed if the project is not ready to proceed when the funding is available.
III. Ranking Projects with an Equal Number of Points
In the event two or more projects are ready to proceed at the same time and have the same number of
points, project selection will be based on the following tie-breaking criteria:
1. First criterion: Priority given to the project whose county has not had an SRF project selected
for funding. If this applies to more than one county, the second criterion will be used.
2. Second criterion: Project serving the largest population will have priority.
DRAFT
17
IV. Intended Use Plan
The Project Priority List and selection of projects intended to be funded are included in the annual
Intended Use Plan (IUP), which describes the intended use of federal and state funds available to the
program for the upcoming fiscal year.
The IUP is subject to a 30-day public comment period during which time the public is encouraged to
participate and comment on the IUP. At the conclusion of the comment period, DOH may revise the IUP
as necessary, depending on the comments received. The final IUP is then provided to all loan applicants
and to the EPA.
