DEP Announces CompletedProjects with Stimulus Funds
to Benefit Water Quality–Federal funding to protect environment and public health,
stimulate economy–he Florida Department ofEnvironmental Protection
(DEP) announced recently that it hascommitted all $218.9 million inClean Water State Revolving Fund(CWSRF) and Drinking Water StateRevolving Fund (DWSRF) projectmoney made available through theAmerican Recovery andReinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
Florida secured the ARRA money tohelp local governments across thestate finance improvements towastewater, stormwater and drinkingwater facilities essential to protecting
public health and the environment.Florida was one of the first states tomeet all the requirements necessaryto obtain the full amount of ARRAfunds.
“Investing in our wastewater,stormwater and drinking waterinfrastructure is critical to waterquality and public health protectionfor our citizens. The stimulus moneyoffered an important supplement toour existing programs to fundinfrastructure for local communities,”said DEP Secretary Michael W. Sole.“These projects have also boosted the
local economy through job creationand helped provide the communitieswith new sources of revenue.”
Twenty–eight projects have beenawarded stimulus funds totaling morethan $132 million through thedepartment’s CWSRF and another40 projects have been awardedmore than $86 million through theDWSRF. All local constructioncontracts have been awarded and allprojects have started construction.
DEP received more than $850million in requests for the $86.6

million of ARRA drinking waterproject funds and more than $1.5billion in requests competing for$132.3 million in ARRA wastewaterand stormwater funding. Qualifyingprojects were selected for ARRAfunding, based on their construction–readiness and environmental orpublic health priority.
The East County Water ControlDistrict (ECWCD) is a primeexample of stimulus money at work.With $2,418,819 awarded by DEPon June 26, 2009, ECWCD hascompleted construction of the HarnsMarsh Phase I Improvements and theYellowtail Replacement Project—Florida’s first completed ARRAprojects. Working with DEP,ECWCD has been able to replacefour structures and build one newstructure in order to reduce floodingto downstream neighbors on theOrange River, improve water qualityand storage; and recharge thegroundwater aquifers.
The Harns Marsh Phase IImprovement Project and Yellowtail1A Replacement Project createdjobs that otherwise might not havebeen available in a down economy.More than 40 jobs in construction,engineering and projectmanagement put money in people’spockets and into the businesses oflocal communities.
“The support ECWCD has receivedfrom DEP enabled us to improve ourservices to local residents byreplacing and constructing muchneeded infrastructure,” said DaveLindsay, ECWCD District Manager.“The Harns Marsh Phase I andYellowtail Replacement Projectshave allowed us to recharge localbasins, alleviate flooding to ourOrange River residents and preparefor water storage for the 2010 rainyseason.”
ECWCD preserves and protectswater resources in Lehigh Acres(eastern Lee County) and westernHendry County through drainage,conservation, mitigation, navigationaland water management practices.
The District maintains 360 culvertcrossing, 22 bridges, 66 watercontrol structures and maintains1,298 preserve acres within 70,000acres of land – approximately68,000 of which lie in eastern LeeCounty.
DEP established its SRF programs,under agreements with the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency, toprovide low–interest financing toplan, design and build wastewater,stormwater and drinking watersystems. Funded by federalcapitalization grants, state matchingfunds, loan repayments, interestearnings, and periodic bond issues,SRF loans are offered at interestrates substantially below currentmarket rates and help make loansaffordable.
Since 1999, Florida has investedmore than $3.7 billion to upgradeand improve water and wastewaterfacilities and clean up stormwaterpollution, funding about 2,400projects statewide.

NUCA UpdateNUCA Mournsthe Passing of1996President, JohnR. Hall
It is with greatsadness that weinform you of thepassing of NUCA’s1996 President,John R. Hall, onMonday, April 5,2010. He was one
of the most consistently friendlypeople around and a pioneer in thetrenchless industry. He and his wifeEveyln were familiar faces at NUCAconventions, traveling mostly in theirRV.
Johnny was the owner of SanAntonio Road Boring, and a strongsupporter of NUCA’s legislative andsafety programs. He will be greatlymissed by his many friends in theunderground utility constructionindustry. Click here to view his fullobituary.
White HousePLA Rule GoesFinal –Business Linesup inOppositionDuring the week of April 11, theObama Administration issued afederal rule that implements anExecutive Order (EO) that wassigned by President Obama inFebruary 2009. The ruleencourages federal agencies torequire “project labor agreements”(PLAs) for all construction projectslarger than $25 million, essentiallymeaning that only contractors who
agree to union representation areeligible for federal projects. Althoughthe rule does not throw a blanketrequirement subjecting all federalprojects to PLAs, it would requirefederal agencies to develop PLApolicies that that could be applied toindividual federal projects. Under thefinal rule, the threshold of the originalEO is maintained ($25 million forfederal construction projects) andPLA’s could not be retroactivelyapplied to federal projects alreadyunderway.
NUCA does not oppose policies thatallow for PLAs between the projectowner and the contractor(s) workingon the project. However, we dooppose federal requirements thatmandate the use of PLAs. Therefore,NUCA joined several businessorganizations signing a letter insupport of the Government Neutralityin Contracting Act (H.R. 983)introduced by Rep. John Sullivan (R–OK), stating that the bill would “curbwaste and favoritism in federalconstruction contracting and ensurethat taxpayer–funded constructioncontracts are awarded on soundprinciples that will deliver totaxpayers the best possible productat the best possible price.” Thelegislation would prohibit governmentmandated PLAs on federal projects,while permitting contractors andsubcontractors to voluntarily enterinto PLAs after the project has beenbid.
As the HotelDeadlineApproaches,NUCA IssuesHeat up – WeNeed You in DCNext! Month!This Friday, April 23 is the cut–off
deadline to receive the specialdiscounted rate at the Hyatt Regencyon Capitol Hill for the NUCAWashington Summit, May 17 – 19,2010. This year, your participationhas never been more important: theissues we are working can put theunderground utility constructionindustry back to work, put twoburdensome tax issues to rest andensure a fair environment in laborrelations.
With construction unemploymentremaining at around 24 percent,advocating for legislation that willprovide public and private dollars inthe water and wastewaterinfrastructure market will be JOB#1. Legislation (HR 537) that wouldeliminate the state volume cap onprivate activity bonds (PABs) haspassed the House and is gainingmomentum in the Senate (seeprevious article). Passage of the billwould open the door to limitlessprivate capital in our market.
Two notorious tax issues arereaching critical deadlines. UnlessCongress agrees on a fix, the federalestate tax (death tax) will return toprevious (2000) levels. Also, thedreaded “government 3%withholding” tax will take effect in2012 unless we kill it this year ornext.
Although “card check” legislation hasstalled for the moment, organizedlabor is no shrinking violet – they willpull out all the stops over the nextseveral months to move theEmployee Free Choice Act this year.So unless you’re okay with afacilitated process regarding unionaffiliation and binding governmentarbitration when a contract isn’tagreed to in 90 days, we respectfullysuggest you have a vested interest inthis year’s Washington Summit.
We aren’t just hoping you attend –we’re banking on it. Click here forall of the Summit details.

Greetings to all, andwelcome to our newmembers. Lastmonth, we held theUUCF Board ofDirector’s Meeting at
the Governors Club in Tallahassee andmet with our state representatives andsenators. Our meeting went well,and the two main items approved werethe Budget and our contract with the R.Bruce Kershner Company. I would like tothank Kirk Richmond, Bruce Wendorfand everyone who helped with theirinput on these items. Like a lot of ourcompanies, we have made as manyrealistic cuts as we can, and BruceKershner will continue taking advantageof any savings that might come upduring the year. If you have anyquestions on these two items, you arewelcome to call your chapterrepresentative, myself or the UUCFoffice, and we will be glad to answeryour questions.
On TuesdayMarch 23,we visitedourrepresenta-tives andsenators atthe Capitol.
I have not spoken to the otherchapters but our Northwest FloridaUCA chapter had very good visits withour representatives and senators. Forthe most part, they felt the same waywe did about our issues. One majorissue before the state is taking $426million dollars out of the StateTransportation Fund and putting thatmoney into the general fund. The ideabehind moving the money is that somethink it will create jobs. Our thoughtsare that it will take away more jobsthan it will create and will take workfrom our industry. We also heard thatmost of the money will go toeducation, and the legislators areworried how to argue against
education to save the highway money.
In closing, congratulations to theUUCF/Andrew Scott JohnsonMemorial Scholarship FoundationFishing Tournament which, as usual,was a great success. Also, we have our2010 UUCF Convention 30thAnniversary “Journey to the Future . . .‘Don’t Stop Believin’” cruise on July22–26 which should be a blast. TheConvention Cabin Registration Form isout, and we encourage everyone toregister as soon as you can. If you haveany questions, please call Flo Woodallor Julie Kershner as they will be glad toanswer your questions.
One last point . . . continue doingbusiness with fellow UUCF members.We need to stick together during thesetough times.
Sincerely,Bill Lee
