NPS Neighborhood Improvement Loans

The SRF may finance neighborhood improvement projects if the project is a benefit to water quality and the problem is addressed in Missouri's NPS Management Plan. The Neighborhood Improvement District Act, adopted by the Missouri General Assembly in 1990, provides a framework for political subdivisions of the State to issue general obligation bonds upon a 100% petition or a majority vote (4/7 in general, municipal, or primary elections; 2/3 in special elections) of the residents in an area to form a neighborhood improvement district (NID). The SRF has financed NPS projects though the formation of a NID. These projects were the result of a cooperative effort between a County and residents within a proposed district. The County's role was to coordinate efforts and provide engineering, inspection, and financial support. Individual members of the NID that were given the choice to pay for the improvement in a lump sum or through special property tax assessments. Projects are financed for 10 to 20 years.

Brownfield Redevelopment

Is there underutilized or abandoned, contaminated, industrial property (brownfield) in your city ? State Revolving Fund monies may be loaned for Brownfield Redevelopment if the project can result in a benefit to local water quality and if the category of problem is identfied in Missouri's NPS Management Plan. The SRF funds can be used in conjunction with a number of other state and federal funding sources to affect the clean up of a "Brownfield" site. The Department of Natural Resources' Voluntary Cleanup Program provides technical oversight for Brownfield remediation. Additional financial incentives (tax rebates or credits) can be obtained through the Missouri Department of Economic Development's Brownfield Redevelopment Program.

Deep Water Well Drilling

This is a non-point source loan program for deep-water well construction required in designated areas in Jasper and Newton counties. If you are in need of a new public, community, or individual water well, and are located in the designated Special Area 2, SRF monies are available, at low interest, to defray a portion of the cost to drill and install a deep well. The additional costs of drilling to assure that the deep aquifer is protected from contaminants resident in the shallow aquifer are eligible.
