APPROVED 09-29-2017 Clean Water Revolving Fund 2018 Intended Use Plan I. Introduction The federal Clean Water Act authorizes the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program to provide funds to states to finance water pollution control projects. Under the Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awards annual capitalization grants to each state to capitalize a state revolving fund, which the state can then use to provide financing for point source (wastewater and stormwater) and nonpoint source water pollution control projects. As part of its capitalization grant application, each state must annually prepare an Intended Use Plan (IUP) that describes the intended uses of the available funds. The Minnesota Legislature has established the Clean Water Revolving Fund (CWRF) under Minnesota Statutes Section 446A.07 to receive federal capitalization grants and state matching funds. The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) is responsible for managing the Fund and its assets. The PFA is authorized to prepare the annual IUP based on the Project Priority List prepared by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The PFA is also responsible for financial administration of the point source (wastewater and stormwater) program through which the PFA purchases the general obligation bonds of local governments to finance eligible projects (transactions which are commonly referred to as loans). The PFA’s responsibilities include reviewing financing applications, setting the financing rates, terms and conditions, and selling revenue bonds to leverage additional funds. In addition to preparing the Project Priority List, the MPCA is responsible for reviewing wastewater and stormwater projects to ensure they meet technical and environmental requirements. Nonpoint source loan programs are administered by the MPCA, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Employment and Economic Development. The 2018 IUP identifies projects and activities the PFA intends to fund from the Clean Water Revolving Fund in state fiscal year (FY) 2018 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018). To fund these projects and activities, the PFA will use a combination of funds from federal capitalization grants, state matching funds, loan repayments and, if necessary, PFA revenue bond proceeds.

Clean Water Revolving Fund 2018 Intended Use Plan

I. Introduction The federal Clean Water Act authorizes the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program to provide funds to states to finance water pollution control projects. Under the Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awards annual capitalization grants to each state to capitalize a state revolving fund, which the state can then use to provide financing for point source (wastewater and stormwater) and nonpoint source water pollution control projects. As part of its capitalization grant application, each state must annually prepare an Intended Use Plan (IUP) that describes the intended uses of the available funds. The Minnesota Legislature has established the Clean Water Revolving Fund (CWRF) under Minnesota Statutes Section 446A.07 to receive federal capitalization grants and state matching funds. The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (PFA) is responsible for managing the Fund and its assets. The PFA is authorized to prepare the annual IUP based on the Project Priority List prepared by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The PFA is also responsible for financial administration of the point source (wastewater and stormwater) program through which the PFA purchases the general obligation bonds of local governments to finance eligible projects (transactions which are commonly referred to as loans). The PFA’s responsibilities include reviewing financing applications, setting the financing rates, terms and conditions, and selling revenue bonds to leverage additional funds. In addition to preparing the Project Priority List, the MPCA is responsible for reviewing wastewater and stormwater projects to ensure they meet technical and environmental requirements. Nonpoint source loan programs are administered by the MPCA, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Employment and Economic Development. The 2018 IUP identifies projects and activities the PFA intends to fund from the Clean Water Revolving Fund in state fiscal year (FY) 2018 (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018). To fund these projects and activities, the PFA will use a combination of funds from federal capitalization grants, state matching funds, loan repayments and, if necessary, PFA revenue bond proceeds.

II. Point Source (Wastewater and Stormwater) Program A. Project Priority List

The Project Priority List (PPL) prepared by the MPCA identifies wastewater and stormwater projects that are potentially eligible to receive a CWRF loan over the next five years. Projects are listed in priority order based on a priority point system established by the MPCA in Minnesota Rules parts 7077.0100 to 7077.0121. The FY 2018 PPL contains 302 projects with a total estimated cost of $1.5 billion, and is attached as an Appendix. B. Placement on the IUP The Intended Use Plan (IUP) identifies projects on the PPL that are eligible to apply for and receive CWRF loans in FY 2018. The IUP is prepared by the PFA in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Section 446A.07, Subdivision 4 and Minnesota Rules Part 7380.0422. For a project to be placed on the IUP, the PFA must receive a written request signed by an official of the municipality (city, township, county, or district) that will be the borrower for the loan. The request must include a schedule indicating that the applicant expects the project to receive all necessary approvals and proceed to the point of receiving a CWRF loan within approximately one year from the approval of the 2018 IUP. Applicants seeking construction loans must have received preliminary approval of their wastewater facilities plan or stormwater project plan by the MPCA for their projects to be eligible for placement on the IUP. Eligibility for placement on the IUP does not guarantee a project will receive a CWRF loan. Minnesota has significant clean water infrastructure needs and the PFA must balance loan demand and lending capacity by setting a fundable range for projects on the current IUP in order to also preserve lending capacity for future needs. A municipality with a project in the IUP fundable range must complete the loan application process with the PFA and receive project certification from the MPCA under the provisions of Minnesota Rules part 7077.0281 before a CWRF loan can be approved. An approved IUP remains effective until the following year’s IUP is approved. A project listed in the IUP fundable range that does not receive a loan but submits a loan application to the PFA and is certified by the MPCA by June 30, 2018 will be carried over in the fundable range on the next IUP. C. Draft IUP and Public Comment In January 2017, a notice was sent to all municipalities in the state with information about the CWRF program, including instructions on how to request placement on the PPL and IUP. Based on the requests received, a draft 2018 IUP was presented to the PFA Board on August 29, 2017. The PFA Board approved the fundable range for the 2018 IUP (see paragraph D below) and authorized the draft IUP to be made available for public comment. On August 31, 2017, the draft 2018 IUP and public notice was posted on the PFA website and sent to other interested

parties that the public comments on the draft 2018 IUP would be accepted through September 22, 2017. The PFA received comments from 5 local governments requesting that information be updated or corrected on the IUP. A comment was also submitted by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency requesting that the PFA more clearly define short term goals of the CWRF which has been done in Section VII. In addition, the MPCA provided an updated list of facility plan preliminary approvals which made 10 additional projects eligible for listing in Part B of the IUP and clarified project names. A table summarizing the comments received and actions taken is shown below.

Changes To 2018 IUP Based On Comments Received

D. IUP Project List

The 2018 IUP project list is shown as Table 1 on pages 12-14 and is divided into two parts. Table 1, Part A lists 15 carryover projects totaling $36.4 million in requested financing, including $5.4 million in reserved principal forgiveness or WIF grants as explained below in Section III. The Part A projects were listed as carryover projects on the 2017 IUP because they had submitted loan applications to the PFA and were certified for funding by the MPCA by June 30, 2016. These projects are eligible to receive CWRF loans in FY 2018 and the PFA will award funding when each project completes the application and bidding process. A number of the carryover projects are Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) projects because of how the PFA provides financing to MCES. In order to limit the impact on the Fund in a given year, financing for MCES projects is based on cash flow needs for a period of approximately twelve months, rather than making a loan for the total eligible project costs. Based on the MCES IUP request and their estimated cash flow needs for eligible carryover projects, the PFA expects to provide a loan of $45 million to the MCES in FY 2018. In addition to the carryover projects, the PFA received a total of 75 new project requests totaling $329 million. The CWRF has limited lending capacity to meet these needs and the PFA

is not able to offer funding to all new project requests. Therefore, the PFA in consultation with the MPCA, has set the 2018 IUP fundable range for new projects at 40 points. Projects with 40 or more points on the 2018 PPL are listed in the fundable range and will be allowed to apply for loans. Decisions about the IUP fundable range are re-evaluated each year. If the fundable range cutoff point is raised next year, only projects qualifying as carryover projects are assured of being listed again as fundable projects. Table 1, Part B lists 62 new 2018 IUP project requests in fundable range totaling $295 million in requested financing. Table 1 also lists other projects that submitted IUP requests but will not be placed on the 2018 IUP in fundable range at this time. Four projects totaling $13 million are ranked below the fundable range of 40 points. Although these projects requested placement and are eligible, the CWRF does not have sufficient capacity to offer loans to projects below the funding cutoff in FY 2018. Seven other projects from small cities that submitted IUP requests are being referred to USDA Rural Development (RD) for possible loan and grant funding through their program. E. Possible IUP Amendment The PFA may consider amending the 2018 IUP during the fiscal year if additional projects on the 2018 IUP meet the requirements and the PFA determines that the CWRF has sufficient funding capacity to offer additional loans in 2018. To be considered for an IUP amendment, a project must: 1) be ranked with at least 40 points on the 2018 PPL; 2) have its wastewater facilities plan or stormwater project plan approved by MPCA; 3) have secured any other necessary funding; and 4) show that it will be ready to proceed with construction before the 2019 IUP is expected to be approved. Applicants that would like their projects to be considered for an IUP amendment are advised to keep their PFA loan officer informed of the status of their project. F. Loan Application Requirements and Deadlines All carryover projects in Part A have met the loan application submittal deadlines and have previously submitted plans and specifications to the MPCA. In accordance with Minnesota rules 7380.0425, subpart 1, and Minnesota Rules 7077.0280, subpart 1, new Part B projects will have six months from the approval of the IUP to submit a loan application to the PFA and plans and specifications to the MPCA. Based on the approval date of September 29, 2017, the six month submittal deadline is March 29, 2018.

G. Loan Terms and Conditions

Terms and conditions for CWRF loans are determined pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 446A.07 and Minnesota Rules Part 7380.0430. Construction loans are not awarded until as-bid construction costs are submitted to the PFA. Interest rates are set at the time a loan is made according to Minnesota Rules Part 7380.0442. Interest rates are based on the greater of the current bond market rates for tax-exempt municipal bonds as determined by a daily index, or the bond yield scale of the PFA’s bonds, if PFA bond proceeds are available.

CWRF 2018 IUP APPROVED 09-29-2017

5 of 15

For projects that receive loan awards after the 2018 IUP is approved, the PFA has set a base discount of 1.50% that will be applied to the appropriate bond yield scale for loans up to $45 million. The base discount for loans over $45 million will be reduced by 1.75 basis points (.0175%) for each $1 million over $45 million. Additional discounts up to 2.5% may be applied for borrowers under 2,500 population as described in Minnesota Rules Part 7380.0442, Subpart 3B. The minimum interest rate under PFA rules is 1 percent. III. Additional Subsidization, Affordability Criteria and Green Project Reserve (GPR) The PFA received the 2017 federal clean water capitalization grant in August 2017. The 2017 federal grant is $24,369,000 and requires ten percent of the grant be used for additional subsidization of projects beyond the below market interest rates on loans as described above. In addition, the 2017 federal grant requires the state to solicit, and fund to the extent available, projects that address green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency or other environmentally innovative activities, and include such projects in its IUP up to at least 10% of the federal capitalization grant amount (referred to by USEPA as the “Green Project Reserve”). The PFA provides additional subsidization to eligible projects in the form of principal forgiveness grants, meaning a specific dollar reduction in the amount of loan principal that must be repaid, which is granted at the time a CWRF financing agreement is awarded. Minnesota Statutes, Section 446A.07, Subdivision 8 authorizes the PFA to provide principal forgiveness to the extent permitted under federal law for affordability needs and green infrastructure projects. Affordability Criteria Minnesota also has a state grant program (Water Infrastructure Fund – WIF) to address affordability needs. The affordability criteria for federal principal forgiveness follows the WIF program criteria in MN Statute 446A.072. Principal forgiveness and/or WIF funds may be granted to a CWRF project if the average annual residential wastewater system cost would otherwise exceed 1.4 percent of the median household income (MHI) of the project service area. The amount of principal forgiveness or WIF funds is limited to 80 percent of the system costs over 1.4% of MHI with a maximum of $5,000,000 or $20,000 per connection. The PFA reserves WIF and principal forgiveness funds for eligible CWRF projects when they are certified by MPCA in an amount based on the project cost estimate at the time of certification or the as-bid costs, whichever is less. In addition to community income, federal law requires population trends and unemployment data to also be considered in determining projects eligible for principal forgiveness funds that are used to address affordability needs. The WIF program criteria limits assistance to that portion of a project needed to address existing wastewater needs as opposed to growth-related needs, thereby limiting WIF and principal forgiveness awards for communities with growing populations. The PFA will also consider unemployment data as a secondary factor after the WIF

criteria for federal principal forgiveness funds for affordability needs. To the extent possible, PFA will direct federal principal forgiveness funds to eligible projects whose county unemployment rate for the most recent full calendar year is higher than the state’s unemployment rate for the same period. Green Project Reserve Federal principal forgiveness funds may also be granted to projects that address green infrastructure, water or energy efficiency improvements or other environmentally innovative activities, including activities to mitigate stormwater runoff and enhance sustainability. Under Minnesota Statutes, Section 446A.07, Subdivision 8, paragraph (8), the principal forgiveness amount is limited to 25 percent of the eligible project cost as determined by the MPCA, up to a maximum of $1,000,000. The balance of the project financing will be provided as a CWRF loan under the terms and conditions described in paragraph G. In addition, many of the projects funded through the nonpoint source programs described in Section V (pp. 7-8) meet the GPR criteria. A solicitation for GPR projects was included in the public notice regarding point source project proposals for the 2018 PPL and IUP which was sent to all municipalities in January 2017. Table 1 (pp. 12-14) identifies the estimated GPR eligible cost, as determined by the applicant, for projects on the 2018 IUP. GPR eligibility will be verified by the MPCA during the plan and specification review process. Use of Principal Forgiveness and Water Infrastructure Funds in FY 2018 Table 1, Part A shows the amounts of principal forgiveness or WIF funds that have been reserved or committed for eligible carryover projects. PFA will use principal forgiveness funds remaining from the 2016 federal capitalization grant, along with state WIF funds to provide grants for eligible carryover projects in priority order that meet the affordability criteria described above. There are no green infrastructure carryover projects. The source of funding for each project (federal principal forgiveness or state WIF funds) will be determined at the time of award. For new projects listed in Table 1, Part B, eligibility for WIF or principal forgiveness will be determined during the CWRF application review. To the extent funds are available, the 2017 federal principal forgiveness funds and state WIF grant funds will be used to fund Part B projects in priority order that meet the loan application requirements in Section II.F. and receive MPCA certification within state fiscal year 2018. IV. Summary of FY 2017 Project Activity A total of 62 projects on the 2017 PPL totaling $129.4 million were funded in FY 2017 through the coordinated efforts of the PFA (through the CWRF, WIF, and Clean Water Legacy Fund programs), and other funding partners.

Point Source Projects Funded In FY 2017

V. Nonpoint Source Programs

A. Clean Water Partnership Loan Program The Clean Water Partnership (CWP) loan program is administered by the MPCA to help local units of government address nonpoint source pollution problems. Loans can be made to counties, cities, watershed districts, and joint powers organizations that have an approved CWP diagnostic study/implementation plan or equivalent report. Loan funds may be used to implement a variety of best management practices (BMPs) such as sedimentation basins and detention ponds, replacement of failing individual sewage treatment systems, lakeshore

landscaping for erosion control and stabilization, streambank stabilization, in-stream and in-lake chemical treatment and aeration, forestry and parkland BMPs, and groundwater aquifer recharge area BMPs. The interest rate on CWP loans is 2%, with the term varying depending on the project. Since 1996 the PFA has allocated $35.1 million in CWRF funds to the CWP loan program, which has generated over $64 million in loans. Loan repayments are approximately $3 million per year which are available to make new loans. MPCA staff have determined that funds are revolving at a level sufficient to meet current loan demand. Therefore, the MPCA has confirmed that it will not request a new allocation in 2018. The need for new money for the program will be reevaluated in 2019. B. Agriculture Best Management Practices Loan Program The Agriculture Best Management Practices (AgBMP) loan program is administered by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to assist farmers and rural landowners in implementing best management practices (BMPs) eligible under Sections 319 and 320 of the federal Clean Water Act. Allocations of SRF funds are made to counties, soil and water conservation districts, and joint powers organizations to capitalize revolving loan accounts to implement local comprehensive water plans, which are a component of Minnesota’s Nonpoint Source Management Program (319 plan). Some local projects may also implement components of the Barataria-Terreborne National Estuary Program Comprehensive Management Plan (320 plan). The local units of government approve projects proposed by farmers, rural landowners and agriculture supply businesses that implement priority BMPs to prevent or mitigate nonpoint source pollution to surface or ground waters. Approved projects are then referred to cooperating local financial institutions that provide low interest loans to finance the completed project. Examples of eligible BMPs include animal waste control systems; structural conservation practices such as waterways, erosion and sediment control basins and terraces; repair of failing individual septic systems; and abandoned well sealing. The Department of Agriculture lends funds at zero percent interest for up to 20 years to local governments to capitalize revolving loan accounts. Applicants must contact their local government to obtain a certification of project eligibility and then apply to the designated local lender who will evaluate the financial credit worthiness of the project. Local lenders may charge borrowers up to 3% interest and other fees for underwriting the loan. Since 1996 the PFA has allocated $53.8 million in CWRF funds to the AgBMP program, which has generated over $183 million in loans. Counting both funds that revolve at the local level and repayments that come back to the Department, the program receives loan repayments in excess of $6 million per year which are available to make new loans. Department of Agriculture staff have determined that funds are revolving at a level sufficient to meet current loan demand. Therefore, the Department has confirmed that it will not request a new allocation in 2018. The need for new money for the program will be reevaluated in 2019.

C. Tourism Loan Program The Tourism Loan Program is administered by the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) to provide loans to tourism related businesses to improve and replace septic systems. Program funds are used in conjunction loans from private financial institutions. The interest rate on the program funds is 2%. The rate on the bank loan is negotiated between the bank and the borrower. The PFA provided an initial $750,000 to capitalize the program. Funds have all been disbursed and loan repayments continue to be available on a revolving basis. No new funds will be provided to the program in FY 2018.

VI. Financial Status of the CWRF Table 2 (page 15) shows the sources and uses of funds in the CWRF for FY 2017, total amounts from the beginning of the program in FY 1989 through FY 2017, and the estimated amounts for FY 2018. The PFA has developed a financial model to estimate the average annual lending capacity of the CWRF based on the current assets in the Fund. The PFA currently estimates the average CWRF lending capacity to be approximately $94 million per year in perpetuity, assuming no new state or federal funds are received. In most years, the PFA has used its reserves and bonding authority to make loans at higher levels based on strong demand. Demand for CWRF financing has grown in recent years, and total requests for the 2018 IUP exceed $366 million, almost four times the sustainable long-term lending capacity of the Fund. To maintain balance between current demand and future lending capacity, the PFA in consultation with the MPCA, each year determines a fundable range for new projects on the IUP based on PPL priority points. For new projects on the 2018 IUP, the fundable range cutoff has been set at 40 points. In approving the 2018 IUP, the PFA commits to providing CWRF loans to all carryover projects and new projects in fundable range that are able to proceed within the fiscal year. The 2018 IUP includes total loan requests of $326 million. While this amount significantly exceeds the sustainable capacity of the CWRF, the PFA is able to use its reserves and bonding authority to fund the eligible projects. Based on past experience the PFA estimates actual project loans for projects that receive the necessary approvals and proceed with construction and loan closing in FY 2018 will be significantly less than the total, approximately $119 million. While this estimated amount is still higher that the sustainable lending capacity of the Fund, it is within a reasonable level that the Fund can support. In the long term, however, without continued federal and state support for the program, funding projects beyond the Fund’s average lending capacity will decrease future lending capacity.

VII. Goals of the Clean Water Revolving Fund The member agencies of the PFA are committed to using the Clean Water Revolving Fund as effectively as possible to protect, preserve and improve water resources in the State. The agencies will work to bring together federal, state, local and private resources to meet these goals.

A. Short Term Goals 1. Encourage CWRF recipients to develop asset management plans and activities. 2. Actively coordinate state and federal agency programs to maximize funding for

projects listed on the Project Priority List. B. Environmental goals

1. To utilize the assets of the Fund so that the State employs a balanced approach to improving Minnesota’s waters by financing both point source and nonpoint source projects.

C. Financial goals 1. To make funds available to as many high-priority projects as possible while

maintaining a sustainable funding level. 2. To administer the fund so that its revolving nature is assured in perpetuity. D. Program goals 1. To apply a variety of delivery mechanisms to best reach and serve different types of

clientele. VIII. Cross-Collateralization As permitted by Congress in legislation approved in 1997, the PFA has cross-collateralized the bonds sold for the Clean Water Revolving Fund and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund. The purpose is to enhance the security of bonds sold for both programs, thereby improving the credit rating and reducing the interest rate on the bonds. This allows the PFA to pass on the best possible interest rates to its borrowers. The revenues from loan repayments in each program are pledged first to the bonds for that program. After the revenues in each program have been used to make the PFA’s bond debt service payments and meet all other payment and coverage requirements under the bond resolutions, funds in excess of these requirements may be used to cover a default in the other program. Given the coverage requirements the PFA must meet for its bonds, the general obligation pledges provided by the borrowers, and the financial management practices of the PFA (as reflected by the AAA rating of its bonds), it is very unlikely that a default would occur. The cross-collateralization of the two programs provides even more assurance to the bondholders and enhances the financial strength of the programs.

The federal capitalization grant shown in SFY 2018 is the FFY 2017 grant which was received in August 2017.  Congress has not yet appropriated funds for 

FFY 2018.

Binding commitments are recorded when the financing agreement is fully executed, after project certification by the MPCA and submittal of as‐bid costs

to the PFA. New binding commitments for SFY 2017 were $87,886,158. Amounts shown are net of decreases to prior years' binding commitments, and

may come from multiple capitalization grants.

State funds in excess of the required match to the cumulative federal grants have already been deposited to the CWRF and expended, or encumbered for 

eligible projects.  The FFY 2017 federal grant funds will be obligated for projects and the State will draw 100% of those funds as eligible costs are incurred.

Revenue Bond Proceeds (net), and Bond Debt Service are net of potential refunding activity.

Monies from within the CWRF used for program administration expenses from the allowable admin set‐aside (up to 4% of federal capitalization grants).  

Administrative expenses are funded from loan servicing fees collected from the interest portion of loan repayment under Minn. Stat. 446A.04 Sub.d 5.  For 

SFY 2018 a total of $2,401,481 is budgeted for CWRF program administration by the PFA and MPCA.
