Rural Water - Quarter 3, 2008 - (Page 26) There are currently over $3.4 billion in approved projects waiting for funding. In the end, Congress provided $120 million in funding to address the backlog of projects in the U.S., with funding being split between all the states with pending applications. No state may receive more than 5 percent of these funds, however, and in September, any unused funds will be pooled and redistributed to those states that still have need. The current program was also a target of some who would like to repeal certain provisions which provide protections to small rural systems. These protections, mostly relative to the 1926(b) protections in the bill, were challenged by several groups, and Congress spoke loudly in roundly rejecting these proposed changes. Congress also included in the bill several new programs that NRWA will be evaluating and monitoring over the next year. These programs, generally in conservation, may provide NRWA and the state associations the chance to build mutually beneficial relationships with the Department. Water conservation, watershed protection and planning, and water resource management are all priorities where rural water has great expertise, and those may prove needed by USDA to meet the requirements of many of their programs. Overall, the 2008 Farm Bill was a success for rural water and its members. By continuing our relationships with Congress and USDA, this success can only grow over the life of this Farm Bill.
