(By Senators Snyder, Unger, Chafin, Minard, Plymale and McCabe)


Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study funding sources for capital improvements for public facilities made necessary by the imposition of nutrient removal requirements.

Whereas, West Virginia is one of six states that have agreed to reduce the amount of nutrients contributed to the Chesapeake Bay by sources located within its jurisdiction; and
Whereas, A holistic program, while assuring the protection of the Chesapeake Bay, must include: (1) A nutrient trading and off- set program to allow for efficiencies within the watershed to assure that public moneys are placed to best use; and (2) a capital improvement program to assist those required to install capital improvements to obtain the reductions in nutrients previously agreed to by the state; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study funding sources for capital improvements for public facilities made necessary by the imposition of nutrient removal requirements; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2011, on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be paid from the legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
