EFC provides assistance in the design, construction, operation and financing of air pollution control, drinking water and wastewater treatment, and solid and hazardous waste disposal facilities. The Corporation's largest program is the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund, which provides interest-free short-term and low-interest rate long-term financing to assist with the planning, design, and construction of water quality protection projects. The Corporation also jointly administers the Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund with the New York State Department of Health. The EFC is included in the Health, Mental Hygiene and Environmental Conservation appropriation bill. State Operations EFC operations are supported by Special Revenue Funds which are derived primarily from the Corporation's programs. The Executive proposes a Special Revenue Other Fund appropriation of $9,528,000 in State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2002-03, an increase of $1,472,200 due to contractual salary increases and relocation expenses. In SFY 2001-02, the Executive transferred $135,800 from the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to the Special Revenue Other Fund sewage treatment program. Accompanying the transfer of funds is the shift of two FTE positions from DEC. Capital Projects The Executive maintains a Capital Projects appropriation of $292,000 from the Clean Water/Clean Air Implementation Fund in SFY 2002-03. These monies are used for services and expenses including Personal Services and Fringe Benefits necessary to implement the clean water and air quality purposes of the 1996 Clean Water/Clean Air Bond Act. The Executive proposes total State appropriations of $29,365,000 in the Department of Environmental Conservation for the Water Pollution Control Revolving Loan Fund, and $70,000,000 in the Department of Health for the Safe Drinking Water Revolving Loan Fund. These monies are used for the capitalization of the State share of the loan funds. The Executive recommends a reappropriation of $14,500,000 for the Pipeline for Jobs Program, originally created in SFY 1999-00 to provide low-cost loans and financial assistance to municipalities, public utilities, public benefit corporations and businesses for water supply improvement projects. The Executive adds language to suballocate $5,000,000 to the Urban Development Corporation for economic development projects, including expenses incurred in Monroe, Ontario, Wayne, Seneca and Cayuga Counties. |
