Re: City of Laurel Ground-Water and Salinity Management, Feasibility Project
Dear Mr. Rodgers:
The Department has recently completed the review and ranking process for applications for Renewable
Resource Grants funding. The Director of DNRC and the Governor have approved our recommendations for
project ranking and funding. The enclosed ranking list identifies the Department's priority recommendations
that were submitted to and approved by the Governor. These recommendations will be presented to the 2001
Legislature. Every applicant, regardless of project ranking, will have the opportunity to appear before the Long
Range Planning Committee. In late December or early January, I will notify you of the times and dates of the
legislative committee hearings relevant to your project.
A project summary will be sent to you as soon as the editing is complete. This review details the comments
and concerns expressed by the project reviewers and the ranking committee. The recommendations section,
in particular, contains any conditions attached as a condition of project funding.
The- number -and -quality- of applications-to-Renewable Resource Grant and Loan Program has giown
dramatically. There was a significant increase in the number of project applications this year, increasing from
62 applicants two years ago to 71 applications for funding in the 2002-2003 biennium. Approximately $3.5
million in Renewable. Resource grant funds is available for projects this biennium. This means that roughly
the first 36 projects will be funded. Projects 37 - 61 would not receive funding unless the Legislature elects
to choose a different prioritization of projects or project funding amounts. The last section of the ranking list
contains ten projects that were notrecommended for funding.
If you have questions about your project's ranking or the funding recommendation, I would be happy to discuss
it with you. Please don't hesitate to contact 'meat (406) 444-6839 or pa msmith00state. mt.us
