Re:  Water Quality Improvement Project Grant Number 149046
  Stream Friendly, Storm Ready- Town of Aurora Salt Storage Replacement
  Building & Brine System

Dear Supervisor Snyder:

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Water Quality
Improvement Project (WVQIP) program provides important support to communities to
protect and restore water resources. DEC is proud to have made more than $200
million available in this year’s Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) and we
appreciate your application for this vital program.

We are pleased to inform you that the Stream Friendly, Storm Ready- Town of Aurora
 Salt Storage Replacement Building & Brine System has been selected to receive up to
 $486,044 through the WQIP program. If you applied for funding from other DEC
 programs or other state agencies through the CFA, you will receive information from
 those programs/agencies separately.

 The Office of State Comptroller (OSC) must approve DEC’s documentation of the project
 solicitation and review process before we can begin the steps to execute a contract with
 you. When we receive OSC’s approval, we will provide additional information to assist
 you in getting a contract in place. Upon receipt of this additional information, DEC and
 OSC expect that contracts will be executed within 90-120 days. Contracts for WQIP
 projects will be completed through the New York State Financial System. You will receive
 separaie instructions on how to access this system and begin the contracting process. If
 the contacts listed on the application have changed, please notify us at
 [email protected] to ensure that these instructions are sent to the correct
 contact(s).

  Office of the Commissioner
