Eligible projects must be completed within 18 months <br /> of the grant/loan award. <br /> Grant funds u to$10 000 and loan funds u to 40 000 are avail <br /> p p $ able for qualifying projects. Both <br /> 1 of the funds require dollar for dollar matching with local funds. The grant funds are available for <br /> "studies" to define and identify potential I/I sources and reduction potential, and loan funds are <br /> available for construction of projects to actually reduce the I/I in the City system. The proposed <br /> 1 "sump pump" identification and removal project, in St. Anthony, would qualify under the "loan" <br /> program. <br /> ' The "loan" program is rather unique because there is an opportunity for communities to have their <br /> annual loan repayment "forgiven." For a period of five years after the project is completed, the <br /> community must annually "certify" the status of the system I/I to the MCES. If the work continues <br /> ' to be effective in maintaining the I/I reduction, the City's annual payment is forgiven and the loan <br /> effectively becomes a "grant" for that year. Each year that the system is positively "certified",the <br /> payment is forgiven. <br /> Applications for the 1 <br /> pp 998 MCES program must be submitted by February 10, 1998. <br /> 1 <br /> • <br /> 1 <br /> ' Page 5 F.IWPW/MPROPOSALI059.97Ipropo l <br />
