Abstract
The federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) amendments of 1996 authorized a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) to assist public water systems to finance the cost of infrastructure needed to achieve or maintain compliance with the SDWA. Section 1452 of the SDWA authorizes the Administrator of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to award capitalization grants to states for the purpose of establishing a low interest loan program and other types of assistance to eligible water systems. The South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) has primary enforcement responsibility (i.e., primacy) for carrying out the provisions of the SDWA. SCDES is the designated state agency to apply for and administer the capitalization grant for the DWSRF. The Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA), Office of Local Government, conducts the financial functions of the DWSRF, and makes loans to project sponsors. Section 1452 also requires that the State develop a comprehensive list of potential projects for funding from the DWSRF, and rank them in priority order. The purpose of this document is to outline the ranking system
