Draft Amendment #7 to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan issued September 30, 2008 was published in the September 9, 2009 issue of the Environmental Notice Bulletin. The comment period for the Draft Amendment #7 closed on September 24, 2009. The New York State Department of Health received no public comments pertaining to this amendment. Therefore, the amendment to the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Intended Use Plan is final as shown below:
"The New York State Department of Health (DOH) and the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) amended the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) Final Intended Use Plan (IUP) dated September 30, 2008 to adjust the estimated project cost for seven DWSRF projects listed on the Project Readiness List. The explanations of the reasons for the cost revisions are included in the table below:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amsterdam (C) | Montgomery | Upgrade SWTR Compliance facility | 17497 | $8,000,000 | $10,562,097 | The cost increase is a result of actual project bids received after short term closing. |
| Beaver Dam Water Corp | Orange | New ground water source, new storage, upgrade distribution system | 15072 | $0 | $400,000 | The cost increase is a result of revised estimates from the project engineer. |

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."
