SUMMARY:
Utilization of the Water Quality Improvement Fund. Expands the eligible uses of the Water Quality Improvement Fund to include the installation of nutrient removal technology at private wastewater treatment plants. The bill also allows point source funds to be used to share in the cost of temporary operational enhancements (versus capital improvements) at wastewater treatment works, including the Washington, D.C., Blue Plains facility, and to fund innovative nutrient reduction technologies that have wide applicability in Virginia. In the nonpoint source pollution area, the bill adds "equipment directly related to protection and improvement of water quality" to the nonexclusive list of the types of projects that may receive funding. The provision of the Water Quality Improvement Act setting out that the nonpoint funds are to be split evenly between the Chesapeake Bay watershed and the rest of the state is deleted.
