Green Project Reserve (GPR): All CWSRF Programs are required to use a portion of their federal grant for projects that address green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency, or other environmentally innovative activities. Iowa’s Nonpoint Source Programs, including the Sponsored Project Program, finance several projects annually which meet this criterion. Specific projects identified as GPR are listed in Appendix C. Additional subsidization and GPR has been allocated for FFY 2018-2021 Cap Grants. The specific projects that have received add subs or been counted for the GPR are listed in Appendix C. During SFY 2023, Iowa will apply for the FFY 2022 Cap Grant. Iowa will comply with additional subsidization and/or green project allocation requirements of that grant and will identify specific recipients of those funds during this fiscal year in Appendix C.

Nonpoint Source Assistance Programs Nonpoint Source Assistance Programs include funds reserved for the Onsite Wastewater Assistance Program (OSWAP), Livestock Water Quality Facilities (LWQ), Local Water Protection (LWP) and General Nonpoint Source (GNS). These funds implement the intent of Iowa statute to use CWSRF funds to improve residential wastewater systems, to assist owners of existing animal feeding operations to meet state and federal requirements, for local water protection projects that will provide water quality improvement or protection and for general nonpoint source projects that will provide water quality improvements or water quality protection. These systems are addressed as a need by Iowa’s State Nonpoint Source Management Plan. Individual loan applicants for all Nonpoint Source Assistance Programs operated as linked deposit and loan participation are not identified in this IUP. Only GNS projects with a direct loan will be listed on the Project Priority List. V. METHOD OF AMENDMENT OF THE INTENDED USE PLAN The State will follow this IUP in administering CWSRF funds in SFY 2023. Federal and state law requires, and Iowa welcomes, opportunity for public participation in the development of the IUP. Any revisions of the goals, policies and method of distribution of funds must be addressed by a revision of the IUP, including public participation. Minor adjustments in funding schedules and loan amounts are allowed without public notification by the procedures of this IUP and state rules for administration of the CWSRF. Adjustments to the Project Priority List to utilize actual funds available to the CWSRF for SFY 2023 will be considered minor and only affected applicants will be notified. Public notice of amendments will be made if municipalities are added to or removed from the Project Priority List. VI.
