WATER QUALITY BOARD REQUEST FOR HARDSHIP DESIGN ADVANCE FOR LAGOON REHABILITATION APPLICANT: Hinckley Town 161 East 300 North Hinckley, UT 84635
PRESIDING OFFICIAL: Brian Florang, Mayor CONTACT: Tresa Taylor, Town Clerk TREASURER/RECORDER: Chris Palmer, Treasurer CONSULTING ENGINEER: Daniel Hawley, Project Manager APPLICANT’S REQUEST Hinckley Town is requesting a hardship design advance in the amount of $267,000 to rehabilitate their lagoons for current and future populations. APPLICANT’S LOCATION
Hinckley Town is located in Millard County.

PROJECT NEED Hinckley Town’s (Hinckley) wastewater is treated at a non-discharging wastewater treatment lagoon and
permitted under coverage No. UTOP00119 for the General Operating Permit for Non-discharging Lagoons. The facility currently has two lagoon cells of equal size (7.17 acres). Hinckley is proposing to modify the facility into three equal sized lagoon cells of 4.78 acres. This will make the lagoons easier to operate and maintain. The lagoon cells require a minimum amount of water to properly operate and with the size of the current cells the minimum operating depth is hard to maintain without the addition of supplemental water. The modification into three cells from two larger cells will reduce the area in each cell to increase depth in each cell and decrease overall lagoon evaporation. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Hinckley is requesting funding to develop a design that removes the need of supplemental water use in their lagoons. This design will focus on population changes for the next twenty years. From September 2022 to
November 2022 Hinckley used 2,500,000 gallons of well water to maintain the minimum depth of three feet in the lagoons. On April 27, 2022 the Water Quality Board (Board) authorized a $15,000 hardship planning grant to complete a sewer master plan.
ALTERNATIVES EVALUATED The sewer master plan outlines four alternatives.
1. No Action: The lagoons do not meet the hydraulic conductivity required by Utah Admin. Code R317-3-10(10.3) (E)(2) therefore this option is not viable. 2. Lagoon Reconstruction (Two 4.79 Acre Ponds): Lagoon reconstruction will promote longevity of the lagoons by not allowing them to dry up without the addition of supplemental water and bring the lagoons into compliance with Utah Admin. Code R317-3-10. 3. Lagoon Reconstruction (One Pond of 7.17 Acres and One of 2.8 Acres): Lagoon Reconstruction will promote longevity of the lagoons and bring the lagoons into compliance with Utah Admin. Code R317-3-10. 4. Discharge Membrane Bioreactor (MBR): The cost of a MBR versus lagoon reconstruction makes this alternative infeasible. APPLICANT’S CURRENT USER CHARGE Currently, Hinckley charges $39 per month to its 236 residential users and $76 per month to industrial users. According to the Board’s criteria of 1.4% MAGI ($47,000 for Hinckley), a rate of $54.88 per month for
wastewater service should be exceeded for grant consideration. Hinckley will charge $42 per month to residential users and $82 per month to industrial users beginning July 2026.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE The estimated design completion date is March 2025.
COST ESTIMATE Hinckley is requesting $267,000 from the Board for the design advance. A cost model is attached for the lagoon rehabilitation project that builds two cells of equal size. The cost model shows that if the Hinckley received a 30-year loan from the Board at 2.5% interest the monthly sewer cost would increase to approximately $80 per month. Based on the Financial Burden Evaluation Policy for the Utah Wastewater Project Assistance Program, the community has a Financial Burden of: Medium.
STAFF COMMENTS
This is a small rural community with limited capital reserves. The design advance would allow the Hinckley to perform necessary rehabilitation to the lagoons. Based on the cost model Hinckley will qualify for grant funding consideration. Staff is very supportive of the design advance to continue progress on this project. Staff believes this design advance will prepare Hinckley to apply for FY26 project funding from the Board. During the FY26 application process Hinckley would receive consideration for principal forgiveness funding. However, if Hinckley were to receive full funding from another agency which cannot reimburse a design advance from the Board then staff would encourage re-evaluation of this design advance for grant consideration. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Board authorize a hardship design advance of $267,000 to Hinckley under the special
conditions listed below: 1. The Division must approve the engineering agreement and plan of study before the advance will be
executed. 2. Hinckley must agree to participate annually in the Municipal Wastewater Planning Program
(MWPP). 3. Hinckley must complete a Water Conservation and Management Plan. 4. If the project is funded by another agency Hinckley is invited to return to discuss grant consideration. 5. If the Design Advance is not reimbursed by December 11, 2027, the Board will set the repayment term as five equal annual payments starting on December 11, 2027 with an interest rate of 0%.

TO: Utah Water Quality Board
THROUGH: John, K. Mackey, P.E., Director
FROM: Adriana Hernandez, Contract/Grant Analyst
DATE: December 11, 2024 SUBJECT: Authorization to Proceed with Public Notice of the FY24 Intended Use Plan The Division of Water Quality (Division) is requesting approval from the Utah Water Quality Board to go to public comment for feedback regarding the FY 2024 Intended Use Plan.
As a condition of the Clean Water Stater Revolving Fund (CWSRF) capitalization grant, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that the State of Utah provide an annual Intended Use Plan (IUP). The IUP identifies current and projected projects that may be awarded funding from federal grant awards. It also addresses specific program requirements such as state match, additional subsidy, and green project reserve. The Project Priority List is included in the IUP and shows current projects ranked using criteria such as project need, potential improvement, and population affected. Additionally, the CWSRF Capitalization Grant application includes the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) allocations for General Supplemental and Emerging Contaminants funding.
Due to the dynamic nature of wastewater projects, the documents are updated on an ongoing basis throughout the fiscal year. The Division will inform the Water Quality Board of these updates by way of the Financial Status Report, feasibility reports, and the Project Priority List.
The Division of Water Quality will publish a notification in the newspaper to advertise the IUP. Staff will post the document on the Division of Water Quality’s website for public review and comment. Following the public comment period, the IUP will be submitted to EPA as part of the 2024 CWSRF Capitalization Grant applications.

CHAPTER 1. Introduction
The Intended Use Plan is used by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to apply for the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Capitalization Grant. The primary purpose of the Plan is to identify current
and projected projects that may be awarded funding from federal grant awards. The federal award for the FY24
base program is $4,302,000. The federal award for the FY24 general supplemental program is $11,983,000. The
federal award for the FY24 emerging contaminants supplemental is $1,121,000. See Table 2 for a list of State Revolving
Fund projects. In addition, the Plan identifies current and projected projects that may be awarded from the Sewer
Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants Program and State monies, including the Utah Wastewater Loan
Fund and Hardship Grant Fund. See Tables 3, 4 and 5 for a list of these respective projects.

As required under Sections 606(c) and 610(b) of the Clean Water Act, the State of Utah has prepared an Intended Use
Plan (IUP) for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program. The purpose of the IUP is to facilitate the
negotiation process for the Fiscal Year 2024 CWSRF Capitalization Grant agreements. This IUP outlines the short-
term and long-term goals of the program and proposes a schedule of payment between the Department of
Environmental Quality –Division of Water Quality (Division) and the Environmental Protection Agency –Region 8.
This document also describes the intended uses for: The State Revolving Fund (SRF), Sewer Overflow and Stormwater
Reuse Municipal Grants (OSG) Program, the Utah Wastewater Loan Fund (UWLF), and the Hardship Grant Fund
(HGF). All data provided in the 2024 IUP are projections of funding for the listed projects. Ultimately, the Utah Water
Quality Board (the Board) will determine loan amounts and financing terms as projects are presented for authorization
pursuant to Utah Administrative Code (UAC) R317-101-4. See Appendix A for the Board's Financial Burden Evaluation
Policy and Appendix B, Interest Rate Factors.

The CWSRF is a financial assistance program that provides low-cost financing for treatment works, sewerage systems,
storm water projects, decentralized systems, and nonpoint source projects. The operation of Utah’s CWSRF program
is coordinated between the Utah Water Quality Board and the Department of Environmental Quality – Division of
Water Quality. Projects financed through the State Revolving Fund may receive funding from the following sources: (a)
SRF Capitalization Grants; (b) SRF loan repayments; and (c) State matching funds.

Occasionally, an SRF-eligible project will be financed through the Utah Wastewater Loan Fund or Hardship Grant
Fund.

The Division of Water Quality maintains the SRF Project Priority List comprised of projects for which funding
applications have been submitted. The Project Priority List is a numeric calculation used to prioritize projects which
will remedy the most severe water quality problems and provide funds for the most beneficial protection of public
health and water quality improvement. Projects are listed on the Project Priority List prior to being presented to the
Water Quality Board for authorization. These updated Project Priority Lists are considered to be updates to the current
IUP. Projects will be considered for funding according to their priority and readiness to proceed. If an SRF-eligible
project does not proceed or is funded by SRF, UWLF, HGF, or another source, it will be removed from the Project
Priority List. The Intended Use Plan includes projects listed on the most recent FY 2024 Project Priority List.

The Division of Water Quality conducts multiple surveys; one of which is the Municipal Wastewater Planning Program
(MWPP) survey to project the potential Utah Statewide funding needs for wastewater treatment and wastewater
collections systems. Participation in the MWPP is required for all political subdivisions which have received funding
from the SRF, UWLF, or HGF. In addition, all wastewater agencies Statewide are encouraged to voluntarily
participate. In the most recent survey from 2021, 168 responses were received, which represents 70% of the distributed
surveys. Results from the MWPP survey for projected wastewater capital improvement projects are listed below,
showing a projected Statewide need of more than $4.4 billion through 2041. It should be noted that agency estimation
accuracy diminishes with greater timelines; therefore, the 2025 estimation is believed to be accurate, while the need
for 2040 is probably greater than estimated.

The Clean Water Needs Survey (CWNS) has also been completed. The Division surveyed four facility types-
wastewater, stormwater, nonpoint source, and decentralized-that showed a total need of $9.7 billion for the survey
period of 2022 – 2041. A State Specific Approach (SSA) was used to estimate data for each of these facility types where
planning documents were not available.

A total of 190 wastewater collection and treatment facilities were entered into the survey using planning documents,
small community forms, and the SSA; of these, 95% responded and 5% were estimated using the SSA. There were 91
stormwater facilities entered using a survey to estimate needs with the SSA, showing a need of $1.9 billion.
Decentralized systems were estimated with the SSA according to the 13 health departments in the state and showed a
need of $1.26 billion. The nonpoint source survey received 37 project responses, which showed a need of $690 million.

1.1 Public Comment Process

The public comment process for Utah’s IUP is a crucial step in ensuring transparency and community involvement.
Once the draft Intended Use Plan is presented and approved by the Board, a public notice will be posted and the IUP
and PPL will be made available to the public for review and feedback. The public comment notice is posted in the
local newspaper and to the Division’s website, and is open for 30 days. Feedback can be submitted in writing or via
email to the Division. All comments received during this period are carefully considered by the Division and responses
will be added for submission to EPA.

6 UTAH DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
CHAPTER 2. Program Operations
Since its inception in 1989, Utah’s CWSRF program has received appropriations from the federal government through
capitalization grants. For FY24 the base capitalization grant award is $4,302,000, and the general supplemental
capitalization grant award is $11,983,000.
In addition to federal dollars, The Department of Environmental Quality – Division of Water Quality is required to
provide a twenty percent (20%) state match for the base and the general supplemental funding. Utah has met the state
match requirement for the base program by using money from the Utah Wastewater Loan Fund. Revenues into UWLF
are comprised of principal repayments from state loans, from a state sales tax allocation, and additional legislature
appropriation. Utah has received its full measure of sales tax dollars in the amount of $3,587,500. In addition, the Utah
State Legislature provided $5,801,700 for the additional state match requirements for the general supplemental
funding. The Division of Water Quality will ensure that it meets 40 CFR 35.3135 (b) requirements by depositing the
entire 20% match upon receipt of the federal grant awards.

The Department of Environmental Quality – Division of Water Quality will use SRF administrative funds of 4% of the
overall grant awards. Administration will not exceed the statutory limit. In addition, loan origination fees equal to 1% of
the principal loan amount are charged to loan recipients. That revenue may also be used for program administration
expenses. The Division of Water Quality estimates that $146,200 will be collected from loan origination fees by the end
of the Fiscal Year.

The Department of Environmental Quality – Division of Water Quality will reserve the right to use 2% of the Clean
Water SRF Capitalization Grants for Technical Assistance. The planned activities for these funds will be determined
at a later date.
2.1 Transfer of Clean Water State Revolving Funds

The Water Quality Board and Division of Water Quality reserve authority to transfer funds from the Clean Water SRF
program to the Drinking Water SRF (DWSRF) program. The amount reserved for future transfers is up to 33% of the
DWSRF capitalization grant award. The table below indicates the reserved transfer amount by award year.

For FY24, the projected amount of funds to be transferred is $0, with no short- or long-term impacts on the fund.
Justification for any transfers to the Drinking Water SRF program, including amount, type of funds, and fund impact,
will be documented in a future Intended Use Plan (IUP).

The intended use plan will reserve the authority to transfer funding to the DWSRF program. A Memorandum of
Understanding between the divisions to process the actual transfers will require the Water Quality Board approval.

2.2 Extended Financing Terms

As of June 1, 2024, the Utah Water Quality Board has authorized extended financing to four SRF recipients: Brian
Head Town, Lewiston City, Kane County Water Conservancy District, and Ash Creek Special Services District. The
Division of Water Quality estimates that the long-term impact of extended financing on the SRF program is less than
a 1% revolving level reduction over 60 years. This estimate does not include an adjustment for inflation.

In cases of extreme hardship, the maximum affordable loan amount may not provide sufficient capital to cover project
costs. In these cases, the Board would be requested to provide additional subsidization or hardship grant funds to
make these projects feasible. Extended-term financing can increase the loan amount that a community qualifies for
under the 1.4% median adjusted gross household income (MAGI) affordability guideline. The extended terms also
benefit the SRF program by replacing an award of grant dollars with additional loan repayments, albeit in years 21-
30.
2.3 Additional Subsidization

The FY24 capitalization grant may allow states to provide additional subsidization in the form of principal forgiveness
and negative interest loans. A minimum of $430,200 and a maximum amount of $1,290,600 additional subsidization
amounts will be outlined in the programmatic terms and conditions of the base award. The Water Quality Board may
utilize the difference between the minimum and maximum additional subsidization amounts to refinance existing
debt on projects which met CWSRF requirements at the time of construction. General supplemental awards require
49% additional subsidization. The additional subsidization amount for the FY24 supplemental award is $5,871,670.
The Water Quality Board uses principal forgiveness agreements as its mechanism for awarding additional
subsidization.

The Board will prioritize projects for additional subsidization that benefit a municipality meeting the state’s
affordability criteria and is currently allocating 100% of available subsidy to disadvantaged communities. The
community must have a demonstrated hardship based on its cost of sewer service relative to 1.4% of the MAGI,
unemployment, poverty level, or economic trends. To qualify as a disadvantaged community the estimated annual
cost of sewer service for the average residential user must exceed 1.4% of the modified median adjusted gross income
(Modified MAGI). This “hardship” definition is also in UAC R317-101-4.B.1 and is the CWSRF State Affordability
Criteria. Table 2: FY24 List of SRF Projects identifies those projects that may meet this subsidization requirement. In
addition, the Water Quality Board would consider an application seeking additional subsidy benefiting residential
users qualifying under the hardship definition. Further, the Water Quality Board may authorize additional
subsidization to additional projects presented for authorization during the year, such as those communities addressing
water-efficiency or energy-efficiency goals, communities mitigating stormwater runoff, or to encourage sustainability.
The Water Quality Board is currently working on a process for targeting disadvantaged communities.

2.4 Green Project Reserve

The FY24 capitalization grant allocation requires that, to the extent that there are sufficient eligible projects
applications, not less than 10% of the SRF funds shall be used for projects that address green infrastructure, water or
energy efficiency improvements, or other environmentally innovative activities. The State of Utah will meet this
objective by identifying projects that meet green infrastructure requirements and providing funding, in whole or in
part, as they proceed to construction. Future plans to ensure this requirement is met include creating a website
dedicated to Green Project Reserve (GPR). This will create more visibility and transparency regarding the requirement.

Table 1c identifies projects that may meet the Green Project Reserve requirement.

2.5 Program Assurances
The State of Utah must comply with its Operation Agreement with EPA and Utah Administrative Code, R-317-102,
Utah Wastewater State Revolving Fund (SRF). Assurances include:
• Section 602(a)-Environmental Reviews
• Section 602(b)(3)-Certify binding commitments within one year
• Section 602(b)(4)-Certify expeditious and timely expenditures
• Section 602(b)(5)-First use for enforceable requirements

The Division of Water Quality will complete reporting requirements through the Office of Water State Revolving Fund
(OWSRF) for all binding commitments in the quarter that they are made.
9 UTAH DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
CHAPTER 3. CWSRF Project Funding
Eligible projects to be funded by the SRF include loans closed with remaining draws, authorized loans, and anticipated
loans. Loans closed with remaining draws are projects that are currently under construction. Authorized loans are
projects that have been authorized by the Utah Water Quality Board and are in the design phase. Anticipated loans
are projects that are in the beginning stages of planning.

Funding through the SRF can include federal dollars from the capitalization grant awards, principal repayments,
interest payments, and investment fund interest earnings. Table 2 shows the projects that are expected to be funded
from the CWSRF. Equivalency projects must meet specific programmatic requirements including federal cross cutters
and “super cross-cutters,” Davis-Bacon wages, American Iron and Steel (AIS), NEPA-like environmental review,
Single Audit Act, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Architectural and Engineering Services procurement.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA) requirements which places
additional requirements on the CWSRF Program. The United States must make significant investments to install,
upgrade, or replace the public works infrastructure of the United States; with respect to investments in the
infrastructure of the United States, taxpayers expect that their public works infrastructure will be produced in the
United States by American workers. These new BABA requirements have been placed on federal equivalency
infrastructure projects.

As determined by the Water Quality Board, SRF loan recipients may be charged a hardship grant assessment in lieu of
interest. Upon collection, the hardship grant assessment will be placed into the Federal Hardship Grant Fund. If a
hardship grant assessment is derived from a loan funded directly by EPA Capitalization Grant monies, the assessment
shall be used for purposes identified in 40 CFR Part 31.25. If a hardship grant assessment is derived from a loan funded
by SRF loan repayments, the assessment may be used to provide grants to communities for projects that are
economically unfeasible without grant assistance.

3.1 Long Term Goals
1. Provide a permanent funding source for water quality construction projects that supplements a community’s own
resources and/or other funding sources.
2. Distribute SRF funds to projects with the highest water quality and infrastructure needs by evaluating and prioritizing
proposed projects throughout the state.
3. Support EPA’s Sustainability Policy by balancing a community’s economic and water quality needs with the perpetuity of
the SRF program.
4. Assist communities with all phases of a project, including sufficient planning, project design, environmental work, and
construction.

3.2 Short Term Goals
1. Present eligible projects to the Water Quality Board for authorization and assist communities through the application and
award process.
2. Collaborate with other agencies (e.g., Utah Permanent Community Impact Board, U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural
Development, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) to sufficiently fund projects.
3. Solicit and fund eligible nonpoint source, storm water, and emerging contaminants projects.

4. Provide funding, equal to at least ten percent (10%) of the capitalization award, for energy efficiency and recycled water
and water reuse projects to the extent such projects exist.
5. Increasing the profile of the SRF program as a potential funding source for low income and rural Utah communities.

CHAPTER 4. Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants
Program

The Utah Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grants (OSG) Program is a federal program designed to
provide funds for infrastructure needs to address combined sewer overflows, sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), and
stormwater management. The OSG program has been authorized as grants for the design and construction of green
infrastructure stormwater projects. In July 2023, the Division applied for $213,000 in grant funding from FFY22.

The OSG program prioritizes green project reserve eligible projects in rural and distressed communities. As of the
August 2023 allocation memo, non-federal cost share requirements no longer apply to portions of the grant that support
rural or distressed communities. Therefore, a 20% cost share will only be applied to the portion of the total project which
does not directly support these communities. For urban and non-distressed communities, the program requires the
community to provide a 20% cost share. In addition, 15% of the funds are required to go to rural communities and 10%
of the funds must go to distressed communities. For the OSG program, rural is defined as communities under 10,000
in population and distressed is defined as a community with sewer rates exceeding 1.4% of the modified median
adjusted gross household income (MAGI).

Please refer to Tables 3a and 3b for a list of projects to be funded from the OSG program.

CHAPTER 5. Utah Wastewater Loan Program
The Utah Wastewater Loan program is a state-funded loan program similar to the SRF. Revenue for the UWLF is
derived from sales tax dollars and principal repayments. Monies may be authorized in the form of loans or interest-rate
buydowns.

Projects eligible for funding through the Utah Wastewater Loan program have been divided into three categories: closed
loans with remaining draws, authorized loans, and anticipated loans. Closed loans with remaining draws are projects
that have held loan closing and are currently under construction. Authorized loans are those projects which have
received authorization from the Utah Water Quality Board but have not yet held loan closing and are still in the planning
or design phase. Anticipated loans are those projects that may be presented to the Utah Quality Board for authorization
in the next fiscal year.

Please refer to Table 4 for a list of projects to be funded from the Utah Wastewater Loan Fund.

CHAPTER 6. Hardship Grant Fund
The State of Utah provides assistance from the Hardship Grant Fund for several types of projects. First, hardship grant
funds may be authorized as planning advances or grants and design advances or grants. Advances are repaid once
construction funding has been secured through a loan closing. Second, funds may be awarded as hardship construction
grants to entities that may not otherwise be able to afford to complete an eligible project. The Water Quality Board may
consider authorizing a hardship grant when the estimated annual cost of sewer service exceeds 1.4% of the local MAGI.
Third, hardship grants may be awarded for water quality improvement projects such as nonpoint source, water quality
studies, and educational outreach efforts. Projects eligible for hardship grant funds may be added to the list once
authorization has been received from the Board.

Please refer to Table 5 for a list of projects to be funded from the Hardship Grant Fund.

Appendix C. Project Priority Sheet

GUIDANCE FOR SCORING PROJECT NEED: R317-100-3.B.
All projects receive the highest applicable point level only
Points
Project
1. Documented substantial health hazard: A documented existing substantial health hazard will be eliminated by the project. This may
include: (1) discharge of inadequately treated wastewater to an area of immediate public contact where inadequate operation and maintenance is not the primary cause of the condition; (2) an area where a substantial number of failing subsurface disposal systems are
causing surfacing sewage in areas of human habitation. The elimination of existing substantial health hazards is of highest priority. The
determination of the existence of substantial health hazards shall be based upon the investigation, report, and certification of the local health department and the State Division of Water Quality. Such reports and certifications will be forwarded to EPA with the Priority List. The
health hazard designation will normally apply to unsewered communities experiencing widespread septic tank failures and surfacing sewage:
70 points.
2. Raw sewage discharge: A raw sewage dischage will be eliminated or prevented: 60 points
3. Impaired surface WQ standards (R317-2): The surface water quality standards identified in R317-2 are impaired by an existing
discharge. For points to be allotted under this criterion the affected stream segment must be "water quality limited" according to a
wasteload analysis and water quality standards. Water quality standards have been established for the waters of Utah according to
designated beneficial use classifications. A stream segment is considered to be "water quality limited" if a higher level of treatment than that which is provided by state effluent limitations is required to meet water quality standards. A stream segment is "effluent limited" if water
quality standards are met by state imposed effluent limitations: 50 points.
4. Impaired ground WQ standards (R317-6): The ground water quality standards identified in R317-6 are impaired by an existing
discharge. For points to be allotted under this criterion the affected ground water must be impaired according to the numerical criteria
outlined in the ground water protection levels established for Class I and II aquifers: 50 points.
5. Need to provide secondary treatment or meet UPDES or ground water permit or Sludge regs: Construction is needed to provide
secondary treatment, or to meet the requirements of a Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System (UPDES) Permit or Ground Water Discharge Permit, or the Federal Sludge Disposal Requirements: 50 points.
6. Documented WQ degradation due to septics: Documented water quality degradation is occurring, attributable to failing individual
subsurface disposal systems where inadequate operation and maintenance is not the primary cause of the condition: 45 points.
7. Chronic failure of on-site systems: Areas not qualifying as an existing substantial health hazard, but where it is evident that
inadequate on-site conditions have resulted in the chronic failure of a significant number of individual subsurface disposal systems, causing
an ongoing threat to public health or the environment. Points may be awarded in this category only when the Division of Water Quality determines that existing on-site limitations cannot be overcome through the use of approved subsurface disposal practices, or that the cost
of upgrading or replacing failed systems to meet the minimum requirements of the local health department are determined to be excessive:
45 points.
8. 95% capacity: Treatment plant loading has reached or exceeded 95 percent of design requirements needed to meet conditions of an
UPDES Permit or needed to restore designated water use, or design requirements are projected to be exceeded within 5 years by the Division of Water Quality. Points will not be allocated under this criterion where excessive infiltration or inflow is the primary cause for the
loading to the system to be at 95 percent or greater of design requirements: 40 points.
9. Facilities do not meet design criteria in R317-3 or 6: Existing facilities that do not meet the design requirements in R317-3. Points
may be allocated under this category only if the design requirements that are not being met are determined to be fundamental to the ability
of the facility to meet water quality standards: 40 points.
10. Existing GW, pollution, or public health concerns: Interceptor sewers, collection systems, pump stations and treatment, where
applicable, are needed to solve existing pollution, ground water, or public health concerns: 35 points.
a. Points may be awarded under this category only if they will primarily serve established residential areas and only if they are needed to
solve existing pollution or public health problems.
b. Points shall not be awarded under this category where an interceptor is proposed for newly developing recreational communities, resorts, or unincorporated subdivisions.
c. Points may be awarded under this category when the majority of existing septic systems are located in defined well head protection zones or principal ground water recharge areas to Class I and II aquifers.
11. Regionalization: Interceptor sewers, collection systems, pump stations and treatment, where applicable, are needed to accomplish
regionalization or eliminate existing treatment facilities. Points shall not be awarded under this category where an interceptor is proposed for
newly developing recreational communities, resorts, or unincorporated subdivisions: 25 points.
12. Future needs for existing system: Communities having future needs for wastewater facilities construction at existing wastewater
systems, not included above, which are consistent with the goals of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act: 10 points.
13. Future needs for new system: Communities having future needs for new treatment plants and interceptors, not included above, which
are consistent with the goals of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act: 5 points.

h. Protected for agricultural, industrial, and "special" uses; R317-2-13: 4, 5, and 6: 1 point.
2. Discharge Standard Factor. Priority points are allotted as follows:
a. Project discharge standards are water quality based: 5 points.
b. Project must meet secondary effluent treatment standards: 2 points.
c. Project does not discharge to surface waters: 0 points.
3. Restoration from Water Quality Standard Violation.a. Project WILL RESTORE Designated Water Use: 5 points.

standard(s) can be restored if the respective project is constructed and any other water quality
management controls are maintained at present levels. For a project to receive points under this
subcategory, data from a State-approved waste load analysis must generally show that the designated
water use is substantially impaired by the wastewater discharge and that the proposed project will likely restore the numerical water quality standards and designated use(s) identified in R317-2-12 and
R317-2-14 for the waterbody. y g g y g
quality improvement from the proposed construction, if numerical standards or actual levels of
pollutants being discharged are questionable, if serious consideration is being given to the redesignation of the stream segment to a lower classification, or if numerical standards for specific
pollutants are inappropriately low for the classified water use.
4. Estimated Improvement. Estimated Improvement in Stream Quality or Estimated Improvement in
Environmental Quality including Presently Unsewered Communities and Sewered Communities with
Raw Sewage Discharges. Points in this category shall be allocated based upon the judgment of the
Division of Water Quality Staff and on the nature of the receiving water and surrounding watershed.
Consideration shall be given to projects which discharge into Utah priority stream segments as
identified in the biennial water quality report (305(b)). The criteria used to develop the Stream Segment
Priority List may be used to evaluate projects on other streams not on the Stream Segment Priority List. These criteria include the existing use impairment, the overall index from a use impairment
analysis, the potential for use impairment, the downstream use affected, the population affected, the
amount of local interest and involvement toward improving the stream quality, the presence of endangered species, and the beneficial use classification. Activities within the watershed that are aimed
at reducing point and nonpoint sources of pollution may also be considered in the allocation of points. In
addition, the effect of a discharge or proposed change in a discharge on the chemical and biological quality of the receiving stream may be considered in the determination of points. Only those projects
which will significantly improve water quality or environmental quality and will restore or protect the
designated uses or eliminate public health hazards shall be given the maximum points allowable. Fewer
a. The project is essential immediately, and must be constructed to protect public health or attain a high, measurable improvement in water quality: 20 points.
b. The project will likely result in a substantial level of improvement in water quality or public health
protection: 10 points.
c. Some level of water quality improvement or public health protection would likely be provided by the
construction of the project, but the effect has not yet been well established. Also, present facilities lack
unit processes needed to meet required discharge standards: 5 points.
d. No significant improvement of water quality or public health protection would likely be achieved, at
present, by a project: 0 points.
