| Richland (T) | Oswego | New SWTR compliance facility, new ground water source, new transmission, new storage, new distribution system. | 17538 | $0 | $2,400,000 | The cost increase is a result of actual project bids received after short term closing. |

The Department has determined that the revised project cost increases are necessary, reasonable and consistent with the original project concepts. In addition, the scope of the projects has not changed, nor have we altered the project priority rankings in any way. The project cost increases will not adversely affect any other project on the IUP Project Readiness List above the funding line. Except for the above-noted change, there are no other changes to projects listed on the Project Readiness List or to the project priority rankings."
