Overview
This bill modifies the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund program to allow for greater flexibility in how the fund is used. Specifically, it allows the State Water Resources Control Board to use fees instead of annual charges to fund the program, removes restrictions on adjusting loan interest rates, and eliminates a requirement for loan interest rates to be capped at 50% of the state’s bond interest rate. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘incidental runoff’ when recycled water is used for outdoor eating areas in parks.
