Representatives from GHD, Inc. Marc Drainvie and Anastasia <br /> Rudenko were also present for discussion purposes. <br /> Mr. Drainvie indicated that nitrogen removal is a high priority, and an approved plan places the Town of <br /> Mashpee on the list, although not every town gets funded. Any submission for State Revolving Fund (SRF) <br /> zero percent financing requires the project to be outlined in an approved plan. The Town has an approved <br /> Watershed Nitrogen Management Plan (2015), and has outlined a 5- Phase approach to meet the Town's <br /> nitrogen management goals. Currently the Town of Mashpee is completing most of Phase 1. GHD is <br /> currently working on a plan update required by the State at the end of each phase. It was disclosed that most <br /> projects that qualify receive funding in the range of$50,000. <br /> The SRF loan schedule for D% loans require an application submission deadline of August 11, 2023. <br /> Typically, the State drafts an Intended Use Plan (IUP) prioritizing the projects intended to be funded in this <br /> round. The highest tier of funding is required to be consistent with the approved plan document. <br /> Notification is generally issued by the State in January/February 2024 with borrowing authorization to be <br /> determined in June of 2024. The financing application including drawings, specifications and all permits is <br /> due in October 2024. <br /> Anastasia Rudenko reviewed the 2015 Watershed Nitrogen Management Plan and options to be considered <br /> for the upcoming SRF loan application.
