The regional lists should be submitted to the State <br /> Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) by May 1, 1997. <br /> Local UST implementing agencies (LYAs) , who have high priority <br /> sites that they want included on the regional list, should notify <br /> the appropriate regional board no later than March 1, 1997, to <br /> allow sufficient time for the regional board to adopt the <br /> required resolution. <br /> Chapter 6.75 of the H&SC authorizes the State Water Board to <br /> provide funding to regional boards and LIAs for initiating direct <br /> cleanup of petroleum UST sites requiring corrective action to <br /> protect human health, safety and the environment. The 1997-98 <br /> budget for the UST Cleanup Fund Program requests a $5 million <br /> appropriation for this function. <br /> There are eight sites included on the 1996-97 EAR Account Annual <br /> Sites List (attached) . Funding authorization for listed sites <br /> expires at the end of the fiscal year unless the funds have been <br /> encumbered through a contract. Therefore, any site currently <br /> listed will have to be re-nominated by the regulatory agency if <br /> continued funding is required. If the regulatory agency does not <br /> intend to proceed with direct site cleanup for any listed site, <br /> the site should not be re-nominated. In addition to the eight <br /> listed sites, any site which has been approved for emergency or <br /> prompt action EAR Account funding during this fiscal year must be <br /> nominated for inclusion on the annual site list if additional <br /> funding is required. <br /> O D Reryct#d Paper our wisdon U to preaerm and enhancs the quality of Cal fornta't water reaawcw.and <br /> enar►e their proper allocation and 4klent we for the berteJlt ofprfwnl and frtrre 8~009". <br />
