Green Project Reserve. When this Project is complete, the Municipality will have only two lake intakes- -the proposed 60-inch lake intake and the existing 1959 36-inch backup intake. The proposed 60-inch intake will result in lower intake velocities and thus reduce the turbulence that promotes frazil ice formation. The Municipality anticipates this arrangement will eliminate the need for the special winter operations schedule at the water treatment plant that currently results in longer daytime pumping and higher electricity costs. The new lake intake will draw water at a greater distance from shore and at a greater depth than the existing intakes, which should result in less turbid water at the water treatment plant. The Municipality also anticipates that the higher quality water will reduce the need for treatment chemicals such as aluminum sulfate and sodium hypochlorite, resulting in reductions in sludge formation and disposal costs.

Green Project Reserve. The FY2017 omnibus appropriation act sets a goal, subject to eligible projects, that not less than 10% of each state capitalization grant be used to fund the Green Project Reserve: green infrastructure, water and energy efficiency, and other environmentally innovative projects. A good faith solicitation must be open to all GPR eligible projects in each of the four GPR categories. The State’s annual open solicitation for projects will be deemed sufficient for these purposes as long as that solicitation was open to all GPR eligible projects in each of the four GPR categories. The recipient agrees to include in its IUP such qualified projects, or components of projects, that total an amount at least equal to 10% ($889,200) of its capitalization grant. The state must document the GPR solicitation process in its IUP and Annual Report and explain, if applicable, why GPR projects totaling at least 10 percent of the capitalization grant were not able to be funded. Any State not meeting the 10 percent requirement must outline in the Annual Report how they will expand their GPR solicitation for the following year. The attached project list shows that 10% ($889,200) of the total assistance amount is for projects or portions of projects meeting one or more of the specific objectives required by this provision. The Towns of Middletown & Xxxxxx could receive $889,200 (RI’s minimum required) of GPR monies for a portion of their project. In its solicitation for projects to be included on the FY2018 PPL, DEM announced, to the extent permitted by EPA, that principal forgiveness funds will be applied to projects that constituted green infrastructure.
