Bridging the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure GAP in Appalachia

Transcription

1 Bridging the Water and Wastewater Infrastructure GAP in Appalachia Presentation and Discussion of Preliminary Results October 19, 2004 US EPA Headquarters

2 US and Appalachia (ARC Region) ARC 22.8 Million (8.0%)

3 Hydrology (map of rivers originating in region)

4 Questions/Methodology What is the current state of water and wastewater services in the ARC region? Data analysis (EPA, State Environmental and Financial Agencies, Census, USGS, EPA); interviews, survey, site visits. What are the critical infrastructure (water) needs in the region? Data analysis (needs assessments, violation data); interviews; survey, site visits.. What capital funding sources are available and being used to meet current needs? Survey of funding programs, comprehensive funding database, interviews..

5 Questions/Methodology What types of financial gaps exist and what is the capacity of the region to bridge those gaps? Fiscal capacity data analysis (rate studies, census, system revenue data), case studies. What local financial management and financing strategies are likely to have the biggest impact on service in the region? Policy studies, case studies, data analysis.. What policies can funding/ assistance providers apply to improve and expand service in the region? Survey, state level case studies, interviews, data analysis.
