	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1089, Johnson.  State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund.
   Existing law continuously appropriates state and federal funds in
the State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund for the construction
of publicly owned treatment works by a municipality, the
implementation of a management program, the development and
implementation of a conservation and management plan, and other
related purposes in accordance with the federal Clean Water Act and
the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act.
   This bill would require the State Water Resources Control Board,
for the purposes of administering that fund, to give favorable
consideration to certain types of eligible projects, including
projects undertaken in response to an administrative enforcement
order.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 13481.5 is added to the Water Code, to read:
   13481.5.  The board, for the purposes of administering the fund,
shall give favorable consideration to the following types of eligible
projects:  projects that address public health problems or the
pollution of impaired water bodies, projects necessary to comply with
regulatory requirements, water recycling projects, projects
undertaken to prevent or minimize water quality degradation, and
projects undertaken in response to an administrative enforcement
order.
