Project out of the money process
Can be in parallel with facility plan submittal/review. Some even submit before MOA.
Improve process by moving the ER submittals earlier on as it can impact other things like the Facility Plan etc.
Consultants hate public hearing process: time intensive, expensive, have to have a court reporter, no one shows up. How can we streamline this?
Can we make a public meeting vs. public hearing? What legal options are available.
Public participation/public meeting and connection with facility plan is not required
EID guidance is too clunky, long, and heavy on narrative. Could be streamlined and made easier with more check boxes, etc. It's intimidating. Keith is willing to rewrite it but not sure what can/can't be eliminated.
Decision whether a CATEX or FNSI will be required is made at conclusion of consultation
NRD Engineer should be on this call and part of the process.
First 4 tasks are associated with the initial application stage and should engage engineering staff earlier on to better enable them to coordinate with the consulting engineer.
Items may require phone calls/emails with consulting engineer
If comment letter, check upon resubmittal for all items addressed/corrected. Then approval letter sent
Write letter of approval or Comment letter
Forward FP to ADEQ for Clean Air Act Memo / Water Memo (Both ADEQ) (8- 24 hours)
Could the consulting engineers track this down?
Benefits Report Data
Check w/PA for ADH Financial and Managerial letter
Copy of any sub agreements
System Rates included
Check to make sure they match rates setup in financial review
Public Participation Docs, if not handled under EID (CE only)
Selected Alternative
Project timeline
Matches MOA dates?
Life Cycle review, greater than or equal to loan term
Different than review under Process #2. This is verifying that the selective alternative meets life cycle requirements
Green Review
Budget for the project
Permits required
Special monitoring or testing required
Personnel needs
Sensitive zones mentioned (wetlands, archeological sites, etc)
Reason for selection
Disinfection Required, if yes then review
CWRLF Only - Bio-Solids Treatment? If yes then review
Cost and Effectiveness Analysis (CWRLF Only)
Ranking of Environmental impacts (skipping lately)
originally part of engineering review, but should be handled under environmental
Present Worth Analysis
Cost estimate for each alternative
Alternatives Review
Source
Regional
Collection/Distribution
Treatment
Population and Flow/Usage review
Existing Facility: DWSRF - source and water loss review CWRLF - I&I and SSES (if needed)
Priority list check, email Debby/PA/ADH
Review project description, need, planning area and map(s)
Somtimes takes a long time for engineering staff assignments to be made (1 month or so); have had staff turnover that contributes to this delay.
There is no formal eligibility verification process
Idea - initiate engineering technical/ER review in tandem with Program Support's Financial Review
Some initiate communication with Keith at this point, some do it later or earlier.
Possible improvement could also be initiating communication with staff engineers at this point.
per application
Getting a new information system that should increase sharing capability and transparency
WWAC meets on the first Wednesday of each month.
Borrowers have one month to submit the application
Both engineers and Keith receive calls and communication about future projects from known consultants.
