L Introduction
Purpose of the Document
State Stories
States must use a range of tools and resources to effectively protect public health. As part of
their work, states heavily utilize the set-asides in the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
(DWSRF). Under the Safe Drinking Water Act, states may set aside up to approximately 31
percent of their DWSRF capitalization grant to fund state programs and third parties to provide
assistance and build the capacity of drinking water systems and ensure the delivery of safe
drinking water to over 300 million Americans. The 2013 Association of State Drinking Water
Administrators' report Insufficient Resources for State Drinking Water Programs Threatens
Public Health shows that DWSRF set-asides fund 41 percent of state program expenses, the
largest percentage from one source.
To promote sustainability of drinking water systems and ensure effective state programs, states
must support the provision of new and improved infrastructure, strengthen their Public Water
System Supervision (PWSS) Programs and implement three programs: Capacity Development,
Operator Certification and Source Water Protection. This document explores how Puerto Rico
and the 50 state drinking water programs have used the DWSRF set-asides to support these
programs.
This document:
• Highlights the ways in which state drinking water programs, especially Capacity
Development Programs, use the DWSRF set-asides to support water systems in building
and maintaining capacity; and,
• Encourages the increased collaboration among state DWSRF, Capacity Development,
Operator Certification and other state drinking water programs, to ensure effective use
of the DWSRF funds.
This document divides set-aside activities into nine categories:
Training and technical assistance
Financial management and rate studies
Source water and wellhead protection
Program implementation
Water and energy efficiency
Partnerships
Data management
Emerging contaminants
Other innovative activities
¦ The body of the document is structured around these nine categories and includes state-specific
examples of set-aside activities. In 2010, EPA published Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water
State Revolving Fund Set-Asides: Promoting System Sustainability. Together the 2010 report and
this document are intended to further equip state and EPA DWSRF managers with knowledge to
encourage capacity development and system sustainability, and ultimately further public health
protection via the DWSRF.

What is the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF)?
Under the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) (PL 104-182), Congress
established the DWSRF to provide affordable financing to water systems to help fund necessary
drinking water infrastructure improvement projects. Congress also allowed states to set aside a
portion of their DWSRF capitalization grant to support water systems with non-infrastructure
needs. Section 1452 of the SDWA, as amended, contains the provisions governing the DWSRF
Program. The DWSRF's principal objective is to facilitate compliance with the National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWRs) or otherwise significantly advance the public health
protection objectives of the SDWA. Exhibit 1 shows the annual amount of DWSRF assistance (in
dollars) and the number of loans provided to the states since 1997.

Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides:
Building the Capacity of Drinking Water Systems
The four types of set-asides include:
1. Administration and Technical Assistance (4 percent);
2. Small System Technical Assistance (2 percent);
3. State Program Management (10 percent); and
4. Local Assistance and Other State Programs (15 percent).
DWSRF set-asides are not allowed to be used for water system infrastructure projects, except
for planning and design activities (see Exhibit 2). Instead, the set-asides support activities
necessary to ensure safe and affordable drinking water by:
• Providing states with flexible tools to assist water systems with training, technical
assistance and pre-construction activities; and
• Extending and enhancing the impact of DWSRF funding by ensuring that water systems
have the technical, managerial and financial capacity to obtain a loan and to effectively
maintain their resources.

Exhibit 2: Funding by the set-asides
States are encouraged to carefully develop their DWSRF Programs and plans for allocating funds
based on this flexibility. The DWSRF requires a strategic balancing of resources for both
infrastructure (in the form of loans for PWSs) and non-infrastructure (in the form of set-asides).
Each state is able to determine the best balance between the infrastructure loans and the set-
asides, or between infrastructure and non-infrastructure needs, depending on state-specific
conditions.
The set-asides can be used to complement and support infrastructure projects, as many of the
activities funded by the set-asides increase water system capacity. This, in turn, allows more
water systems to successfully apply for and receive DWSRF loans for infrastructure projects.
States are encouraged to use the flexibility of the set-asides to support capacity development
work.

DWSRF Set-Asides
Administration and Technical Assistance
The Administration and Technical Assistance set-aside allows states to use up to
4 percent of the capitalization grant for costs associated with administering and
implementing the state's DWSRF Program and providing technical assistance to
systems of all sizes.1 Most
states reserve this set-aside
to cover a portion of the
loan program
administration costs that
can include direct technical
assistance to water systems
in completing DWSRF loan
applications. While this set-
aside has been typically
used only for state program
administration, there is an
opportunity to support
technical assistance to
water systems serving more
than 10,000 persons.
Small System Technical Assistance
Small water systems - PWSs serving 10,000 or fewer persons - typically face
greater challenges than larger systems due to limited economies of scale. This
set-aside allows states to use up to 2 percent of the capitalization grant to
provide technical assistance
and training to help small
systems build the capacity
they need to provide safe
drinking water. States
provide technical assistance
to small water systems,
including assistance in
planning new infrastructure
projects, payments to third-
party technical assistance
providers and specialized
small system training.

Analysis of the Use of Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Set-Asides:
Building the Capacity of Drinking Water Systems
Collaboration between DWSRF and Other Drinking Water Programs
Along with establishing the DWSRF Program, the 1996 Amendments to SDWA also established
the Capacity Development and Operator Certification Programs. The DWSRF set-asides were
intended to support the implementation of these programs and provide an incentive for state
action on capacity development and operator certification. The Amendments also forbid DWSRF
assistance for systems lacking capacity, unless assistance will enable the system to gain capacity.
The SDWA requires the state's drinking water primacy agency, specifically the Public Water
System Supervision (PWSS) program, to determine the state's DWSRF priorities. The PWSS
program must lead annual development of the DWSRF Intended Use Plan (IUP) for
infrastructure project funding and all of the set-asides. The state must give priority
consideration to infrastructure projects addressing the most serious risk to public health, SDWA
compliance and household affordability. These DWSRF statutory priorities support PWSS
program public health protection results.
It is important for the primacy and funding agencies to collaborate when working with systems
receiving DWSRF loans, to ensure the DWSRF funds are put to effective use and projects meet
all necessary requirements prior to initiation. This ensures that public health goals are met and
that the water system will maintain or increase capacity, as well as ensuring a steady stream of
DWSRF loan disbursements. Effective collaboration between these programs advances capacity
development goals, making more water systems eligible to apply for infrastructure financing, if
necessary.
Some set-aside activities, such as those supporting the Capacity Development Program, may be
managed in a different office or agency than the state's DWSRF Program. Coordination among
the federal EPA and the state's DWSRF, PWSS, Capacity Development and Operator Certification
Programs is vital to achieve maximum public health protection and to prevent duplicate efforts.
This coordination allows set-asides to be allocated towards strengthening Capacity
Development and Operator Certification Programs in order to help systems achieve compliance.
The state drinking water programs should work towards common goals and a shared vision of
the DWSRF's purpose to support the delivery of safe drinking water.
Mississippi
In Mississippi, both drinking water primacy and the DWSRF are located within the Bureau of
Public Water Supply at the Mississippi State Department of Health. With primacy and the
DWSRF housed together, the Bureau is aware of the PWSs' needs in the state and has the ability
to manage the resources of the DWSRF to provide loans for infrastructure project needs or
provide funding for non-infrastructure activities. Capacity assessments conducted by the
primacy division are used by DWSRF managers to ensure that a water system is viable before
the funding division lends DWSRF funds to the system. If the system does not meet technical,
managerial and financial capacity requirements, the state will not award DWSRF funding.
However, a system may still be awarded a loan if the potential loan recipient addresses capacity
assessment concerns during the facilities plan review process. If all elements are addressed,
then a loan could be awarded. If the system needs additional assistance, contractual technical
assistance is available through the set-asides in a number of ways. The 2 percent set-aside is
utilized for Comprehensive and Intermediate Technical Assistance, PEER Review (experienced

Training and Technical Assistance
Introduction
The training and technical assistance category includes a wide array of training, outreach and
technical assistance activities. Funding for training and technical assistance can cover actions and
costs of providing both technical and financial assistance to PWSs, contracting with third party
providers, assisting with contamination or treatment problems and loan application support. Forms
of assistance may include, but are not limited to, outreach and training efforts, system audits,
financial asset planning and design and technical consultation. Outreach and training efforts raise
public awareness and offer a degree of transparency and insight into system operations and
management. Many states use DWSRF set-aside funds to present workshops, seminars and other
training events that provide operators with ongoing educational opportunities. This broad activity
category provides a multitude of tools to water systems in need of outside expertise.
New Mexico's Technical Service Program
Through New Mexico's Technical Services Program, assessments of technical capacity are
offered to water systems to evaluate system sustainability and efficiency. The Technical
Services Team offers technical assistance to water system operators and helps water systems in
identifying technical issues limiting the system's ability to become more sustainable. Furthermore,
the Area-Wide Optimization Program (AWOP) will be re-established to target water systems for
assistance and to improve the performance of surface water treatment plants.4
Groundwater Workshops for Educators in Wisconsin
In SFY 2015, Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources (DNR) sponsored three 1-day
groundwater education workshops for teachers and nature center educators. These workshops have
been provided annually since 2001 and are intended to train educators from schools and nature
centers around the state on the use of the groundwater sand tank model and ways to incorporate
the sand tank model in the classroom. Safe drinking water funds were used to purchase groundwater
sand tank models and materials for the teachers. The workshops are provided by the Wisconsin DNR,
the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and the University of Wisconsin's Stevens Point
Center for Watershed Science and Education. These workshops also function as a form of outreach
since teachers will pass their newly-gained knowledge, focusing on how groundwater flows, paths of
contamination and ways to protect ground water, to their students and to the general public. Source
water protection is promoted through this increased local awareness, having reached almost 300
schools and countless students in Wisconsin since these trainings first started.5,6

Online Course Development for Water System Operators in Delaware
Delaware contracted with Delaware Technical Community College (DTCC) in Federal Fiscal
Year (FFY) 2016 to develop two 30 to 36-hour water operator certification endorsement
online courses, which will also be approved for continuing education credits. Online courses have
proven to be effective and convenient, allowing operators and students to take the course at their
own pace. The training modules are being expanded to include graded tests throughout. The format
and content of the modules will be submitted to the Office of Drinking Water and Board of
Certification for approval. DTCC will also develop other online continuing education courses so
operators can receive technical training and ensure that they have the skills to maintain compliance
with SDWA. Furthermore, DTCC plans to enhance classroom instruction and improve field skills
through assessing and purchasing modern training equipment and software.7
Virginia's Drinking Water Small Project Engineering Services Program
Virginia's Drinking Water Small Project Engineering Services Program provides up to
$10,000 per water system for small project engineering services to water systems whose
population is typically less than 3,300. Virginia Office of Drinking Water's (ODW) Capacity
Development Division has procured three contract engineering firms, each serving a distinct region
of the state. Small engineering services projects are designed to address compliance or sustainability
issues identified by ODW Regional Field Staff through the sanitary survey and compliance monitoring
process. Examples of projects include:
• Plans and specifications for waterline replacement including service meters.
• Arsenic compliance viability including preliminary engineering report (PER) and
specifications.
• Storage tank rehabilitation and improvement including PER and specifications.
• Evaluation of system mapping for locations for zone meters for accountability purposes.
• Asset Management Plans and water system mapping.
One goal of the program is to encourage systems benefiting from these services to apply to the
DWSRF Program to fund their construction project. This helps direct DWSRF money to water systems
with compliance and sustainability issues that otherwise would not apply due to the up-front
engineering cost.8
Massachusetts: Capacity Development Training for Sanitary Survey Staff
Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (MassDEP's) Drinking Water
Program ensures that all staff who conduct sanitary surveys are trained in the elements of
capacity development. For 2015, MassDEP's Drinking Water Program focused on making sure all staff
were trained and able to promote the following six elements: Asset management, fiscal planning,
energy efficiency, water system collaboration, water loss and funding options.9

Asset Management Pilot in Minnesota
Introduction
Due to many of the technical, managerial and financial (TMF) challenges faced by very
small municipalities in Minnesota, the Minnesota Department of Health has contracted
with Minnesota Rural Water Association (MRWA) to provide TMF training. Recently, MRWA was
asked to create an asset management spreadsheet tailored to water systems with populations under
1,000. The spreadsheet highlights the five core components of asset management and was
completed in July of 2016 after being piloted on three small municipalities. By collaborating with
another funding source, MRWA was also able to provide a similar wastewater asset management
spreadsheet. The project will continue in SFY 2017. MRWA will continue to pilot the spreadsheets
with a new group of small CWSs plus provide technical assistance training on the spreadsheets.
Pennsylvania's Master Well Owners Network
The Master Well Owners Network (MWON), created by Penn State Extension and College
of Agricultural Science, is a group of trained volunteers that promote the proper
construction, operation and maintenance of private water supplies in Pennsylvania in order to
protect underground sources of drinking water. MWON functions and continues to grow by
conducting both training and outreach activities. MWON also supports 600 trained volunteers and
provides training for new volunteers every year. In addition, the group maintains education and
outreach materials and a website. After the completion of training with materials developed and
maintained by MWON, newly trained volunteers must provide general education on the
management of private water supplies to at least 100 people over two years. Since the inception of
the network in 2004, MWON has provided information to over 30,000 well owners through various
public outreach activities, including community events, workshops and conferences. The network
recently held a Ground Water Symposium in May 2016.10
Mississippi's PEER Review Program
Mississippi's PEER Review Program provides assistance to capacity deficient systems in
preparing for their annual Mississippi State Department of Health inspections. All systems
with a capacity assessment score below a certain level are invited to partake in the program. If these
PWSs choose to participate, the water system operator and owner will meet with the PEER Review
Team, which is often made up of experienced water system operators. During the meeting, a mock
capacity assessment is performed, but the team goes further to evaluate other TMF aspects of the
water system that were not looked at in the past. As noted in Mississippi's most recent capacity
development report to the governor, "the team approach to problem solving provides an additional
boost in capacity assessment areas thereby providing increased operational efficiency, managerial
stability and financial solvency." After the meeting, the PEER Review Team writes a report outlining
the issues and providing suggested actions to improve upon the issues identified.11

Enhancing Operator Knowledge through Academic Partnerships in
Tennessee
Tennessee's Fleming Training Center (FTC) has developed partnerships with several
academic institutions to address operator shortages and to explore enhanced technology for daily
operation and maintenance of water systems. FTC is partnered with several universities to recruit
new water system operators and to improve the skills of current operators. Columbia Southern
University, for example, offers school credit for state operator training courses and discounted
tuition for staff members. Middle Tennessee State University offers school credit for holding an
operator license and has developed, with assistance from the state, a training program which is
offered as a major under a four-year degree program at the university. FTC also partners with
Tennessee Tech University, which has already developed three technological tools for operators.
During the 2015 National Capacity Development/Operator Certification Workshop, Tennessee
presented an example of one tool developed for operators, called the "Watercalc" app, which is free
for Android and iPhone users. It serves as a calculator for water system operators and contains all the
formulae operators need on a day-to-day basis (as well as all the formulae included in the American
Board of Certification's Formula Book).12

Building the Capacity of Drinking Water Systems
Introduction
Technical Assistance for Economically Disadvantaged Communities
Technical assistance can directly benefit economically disadvantaged systems that may otherwise be
unable to receive loans. In many instances, disadvantaged systems do not possess the human capital
necessary to build technical or financial capacity or obtain assistance within their already limited
resource pool. Exhibit 8 shows the states that targeted technical assistance to water systems in
economically disadvantaged communities using the set-asides and which set-aside funds are used.
The states included in the table below and featured in this section explicitly indicated in state reports
that set-aside funds were used to provide technical assistance to economically disadvantaged
communities. However, it is likely that many other states also provide assistance to water systems in
economically disadvantaged communities. Most states represented in the table below defined what
is meant by "disadvantaged communities" in their respective state reports, but this definition varied
by state. In general, states base this classification on a financial metric (e.g., median household
income or affordability index). For example, California defines a "disadvantaged community" as "the
entire service area of a community water system (CWS) in which the median household income
(MHI) is less than 80 percent of the statewide MHI."

California's Support for Economically Disadvantaged Systems
California provides ongoing support to its disadvantaged systems. For example, the Self-
Help Enterprise (SHE) provides technical assistance to water systems in disadvantaged
communities. SHE helps systems to secure funding, develop project designs, obtain engineering
services and complete funding applications. Furthermore, SHE assists systems in completed capacity
development documents. From 2008 to 2012, SHE assisted 250 PWSs in California. In 2015, California
established a new Office of Sustainable Water Solutions (OSWS). OSWS focuses on economically
disadvantaged systems and its staff works closely with technical assistance providers, such as SHE.
Other ways in which California supports its disadvantaged water systems, include: partnering with
the U.S Department of Agriculture - Rural Development to provide an additional source of funding to
these systems and also partnering with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) (particularly
ones with an environmental justice focus) to help identify systems in need. Additionally, to assist
communities that do not have access to safe drinking water and PWSs not eligible for DWSRF funding

due to the lack of an eligible entity, the Legal Entity Formation Assistance pilot program was
established in late 2013. Of the 15 projects funded, five formed new entities, three resulted in the
community becoming part of an existing PWS; three ended up not forming an entity due to lack of
community support and four projects for regional entities are ongoing. The pilot program is
scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2017.14
Asset Management Training for Maine's Disadvantaged Systems
Maine provides funding to support asset management training for PWSs that will be
receiving an assistance agreement with principal forgiveness. Training is provided by
Resources for Communities and People (RCAP) Solutions, Inc., and includes one-on-one training with
each water system consisting of at least two 3-hour sessions that are tailored to meet the specific
needs of each water system. Water system trustees or board members and lead operator(s) are
strongly encouraged to attend. Maine also dedicates a portion of the funding for Capacity
Development Awareness through RCAP, Maine Water Utilities Association and Maine Rural Water
Association to conduct asset management training for PWSs on an as-needed basis. Training may
include, for example, instruction on use of the Check Up Program for Small Systems (CUPSS)
software. 15

Financial Management and Rate Studies
Asset planning and financial management proactively ensure the long-term health and operating
success of a water system. If operators do not have an asset management plan in place, their system
could be more susceptible to financial hardships, especially with aging infrastructure costs. By
controlling expenses and finances, water systems can build reserve accounts to support emergencies,
while affording required PWS maintenance and reducing the likelihood of taking on large quantities
of debt. States can use set-aside funding to work with financial planners and asset managers to
complete inventories of their systems, establish long-term budgets and reel in their operating costs
by investing in more sustainable practices. Rate studies allow systems to determine the affordability
of their services to their customers and will allow them to determine if their revenues are enough to
cover their costs and projected demands. Rate studies are particularly valuable in the context of
managerial and financial capacity by identifying revenues to manage and maintain utility assets. Rate
studies can also be used to compare water rates across user categories such as residences and
commercial entities to determine appropriate rate structures. Exhibit 9 shows the states that
conducted financial management activities and rate studies using DWSRF set-asides and which set-
asides they used to fund related activities. Use of Set-Asides for Financial Management and Rate
Studies: 20 states use one set-aside; 30 states use a combination of set-asides.
Rate Studies Offered by Technical Service Providers in North Dakota
In order to increase financial capacity, North Dakota provides assistance to small water
systems through a third party to evaluate their rate structure. Many factors contribute to financial
capacity, and there are many reasons why a water system may need to conduct a rate study,
including: decrease in population size, operating deficits, need for improved infrastructure, limited
funding and complex SDWA requirements, among others. The technical service provider assists small
water systems in identifying options for increasing water rates, decreasing other expenses and rate
restructuring. The water system receives the methodological tools they need to calculate base rate,
capacity fees and connection fees, as well as practical tools to support rate increases during public
presentations.16
Financial Management for Ohio's Small Systems
Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) contracts with the Rural Community
Assistance Program (RCAP) to conduct several activities for small systems concerning
financial and managerial assistance. These assistance activities include but are not limited to: finding
alternative funding sources, utility planning, identifying operation and maintenance costs, developing
budgets, cost recovery, financial plan development and marketing services to customers. RCAP also
offers various training opportunities on sustainable management and infrastructure, utility planning
and more for water systems and local officials. A course manual entitled "The Art and Science of
Utility Rate Analysis and Structure" is provided to communities that require additional assistance
with rate setting. Assistance in project planning and development is also offered to small systems.17

Arizona's Water and Wastewater Residential Rate Survey
The Water Infrastructure Finance Authority (WIFA) of Arizona supports the drinking water
portion of the Water and Wastewater Residential Rate Survey. Starting in 2014, WIFA has
worked with the University of North Carolina's Environmental Finance Center (UNC's EFC) to conduct
this rate survey. In 2015, WIFA surveyed approximately 500 utilities, updated the Rate Dashboard by
the UNC's EFC, conducted a survey analysis and wrote the final report. Results from the study can be
used by different parties to compare and benchmark current rates and for future water utility budget
planning.19,20
Financial Management of New Hampshire's DWSRF
While enhancing the financial capacity of PWSs is a priority, efficient financial
management of the state DWSRF itself should also be addressed. The New Hampshire
Department of Environmental Services has an agreement with the State Department of Treasury and
the Business Finance Authority (BFA) to handle some of the financial aspects of the DWSRF. The BFA
is funded to establish credit worthiness of private water systems that are applying for loans. The
State Department of Treasury is tasked with managing accounts and investments related to the
DWSRF, as well as carrying out other financial tasks.21

Source Water and Wellhead Protection
Introduction
Source water and wellhead protection are fundamental elements towards ensuring clean drinking
water and healthy watersheds. States focus on both surface water and ground water supply when
designing programs to protect source water. This includes working with existing regulations to
ensure watershed viability and to help prevent any contamination events. These activities can also
include funding personnel who work directly with wellhead protection, as well as funding studies
around local land use and management tools. One unique element of source water protection
includes a loan program for land acquisition designed to build conservation easements around
source water sites for long-term protection. Example projects can include community education
programs, management of agricultural chemicals to prevent runoff and even building appropriate
manmade structures to protect streams and reservoirs. Overall, these projects offer solutions to
communities and water systems who show proactive interest in maintaining the health of their
source water. Most states carry out source water and/or wellhead protection activities. Exhibit 10
shows which set-asides (or combination of set-asides) were used to fund these activities. Use of Set-
Asides for Source Water and Wellhead Protection: 21 states use one set-aside; 23 states use a
combination of set-asides.
Connecticut's Multipronged Approach to Source Water Protection
Connecticut's Source Water Protection Strategic Plan includes a variety of activities, such
as updating source water protection laws and regulations, public outreach and education, data
management, working with various stakeholders to establish and maintain partnerships and more.
The two main objectives of the plan are to "revise and maintain existing public health laws" and to
"maintain minimized risk to public health for 100 percent of source water areas for community water
systems (CWSs)."22 Maintaining compliance with this plan includes but is not limited to such
activities as:
• Creating linkages between the SDWA and the Clean Water Act through working with the
EPA, Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and other
stakeholders.
• Tracking onsite septic systems or projects in close proximity to PWSs to prevent ground
water contamination.
• Developing a collaborative that focuses on both drinking water protection and public health
protection.
• Working with a wide array of groups to distribute educational materials promoting source
water protection.23

New Jersey's Historic Well Search Project
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) completed source
water assessments with assistance from the U.S. Geological Survey in 2005. The state continues
to use this data to improve environmental regulatory actions. Through their "Historic Well
Search Project/' NJDEP manually verified the locations of older well permits and well records,
adding them to an electronic database to strengthen the online well search tool. The well search
tool allows users to search for wells within a certain distance from groundwater contamination
sites.25
Pennsylvania's Participation in Interstate Water Organizations
Pennsylvania ensures that source water protection is promoted and incorporated into
interstate water organizations. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (PADEP) staff are actively involved in and often coordinate source water protection
activities for various interstate organizations, including: The Partnership for the Delaware Estuary,
the Interstate Council on Water Quality, the Interstate Council on the Potomac River Basin, the
Schuylkill Action Network, the Christina River Basin Project and the Delaware River Basin
Commission. These groups are often made up of county planners and conservation district staff who
reach out to water systems to make sure they have developed, and keep up-to-date, source water

Incentivized Watershed Intervention Approach to Reduce Nitrate Levels in
Wisconsin
Despite efforts to reduce nitrate contamination, some Wisconsin PWSs still experience
increasing levels of nitrate in wells. The continued increase of nitrates could eventually lead to the
installation of additional water treatment equipment by the water system owners to meet SDWA
requirements. In order to prevent this, Wisconsin has implemented an incentivized watershed
intervention approach in one small geographic area. The project will test whether or not the
practices contributing to nitrogen in ground water can be altered to mitigate pollution. The effort will
include "the use of advanced modeling, incentives, innovative institutional arrangements and
intensive monitoring" to reduce nitrogen enough to avoid exceeding SDWA nitrate levels and will
also study the effects on microbial and pesticide levels. Technology and procedures will be
documented so that they can be appropriately applied in other areas.27
Pennsylvania's Water Resource Planning Initiative
One way in which Pennsylvania protects its source water is via water supply planning. The
Water Resource Planning Initiative ensures that water supplies are used efficiently and sustainably,
considering future allocation and use. Efforts focus on Water Allocation Permitting of PWS surface
water withdrawals, implementation of the State Water Plan and designating Critical Water Planning
Areas. A staff member coordinates these activities and activities that support watershed-based
approaches to source water protection.28

Program Implementation
States typically reserve a portion of set-aside funding for general drinking water program efforts,
which include oversight activities and expenditures associated with implementing state programs
such as Operator Certification and Capacity Development. Program support can also be used to
develop capital improvement strategies, preparing contracts for capacity development and
managerial assistance. These funds can go towards such activities as training for operator
certification and continuing education, revising capacity development framework and other activities
that may provide general support for the implementation and continuation of state drinking water
and preventative programs. Most states use set-asides to support their Capacity Development
Programs. Exhibit 11 shows states that funded capacity development activities using the DWSRF set-
asides and which set-asides are used. Use of Set-Asides for Program Implementation (Capacity
Development): 12 states use one set-aside; 38 states use a combination of set-asides.
Capacity Development
Maine's Capacity Development Grants for Developing Documents
Maine is aiming to increase water system capacity by making sure water systems have
appropriately developed necessary documentation required to operate and maintain a
water system. A portion of Maine's set-asides will fund Capacity Development Grants, which will be
made available to PWSs in amounts up to $15,000 per system. PWSs will use these grants to seek
professional services in developing and completing documents that may lead to enhanced water
system capacity, such as: Comprehensive System Facilities Plans, Capital Improvement Plans, System
Hydraulic Modeling Studies, Comprehensive Operations and Maintenance Manuals, System
Vulnerability Assessments, Emergency Response Plans, Management Review Studies, System
Consolidation Studies, Asset Management Plans, Geographic Information System (GIS) Infrastructure
Mapping, Energy Audit Reports, Water Audit Reports, Water Storage Tank Upgrade/Replacement
Evaluations, Comprehensive Community Planning Studies which include a public water infrastructure
component (consideration wiil be given for funding the "drinking water" portion of such studies) and
other professionally prepared documents that can be used to enhance system capacity, as
determined by the Drinking Water Program.29
Ohio's Revised Capability Program
Ohio formed a workgroup to improve upon the state's current capability program. The
workgroup has created a framework that will act as the capability screening tool to assess
a water system's current capability and identify areas for improvement. The screening tool assesses:
the governing body of a water system, operations and maintenance activities, source water
protection, water supply and demand, emergency preparedness, asset management, budgeting,
rates, reserve accounts, water system policies, SDWA compliance and water loss. The workgroup will
also develop a structure for the new capability assurance program with an emphasis on asset
management.30

Wisconsin's Strategy to Assist TNCWSs
Wisconsin DNR has contracted with county and local health agencies to provide
inspection services to transient non-community water systems (TNCWSs). This effort is in
line with the state's capacity development strategy to provide assistance to water systems facing
potential compliance issues. Wisconsin has over 9,500 TNCWSs, which are often small systems and
are not required to have certified operators. Through the contract, local health agencies will conduct
annual site visits, collect drinking water quality samples and conduct sanitary surveys at least once
every five years. These services reduce monitoring and reporting violations, making these TNCWSs
more likely to obtain and maintain SDWA compliance. Wisconsin has contracts with 41 county
agencies covering 51 counties. The Wisconsin DNR holds an annual required training for county
agents and requires DNR field staff to conduct one to two joint sanitary surveys with county partners.
The training and joint surveys ensure consistency across the state.
In addition to performing sanitary surveys, annual site visits and monitoring and follow-up sampling
required due to routine monitoring results, the county agents will conduct Level 2 Assessments. Level
2 Assessments (comprehensive, in-depth examinations to find and fix any sanitary defects) are a
requirement of the Revised Total Coliform Rule. A Level 2 Assessment occurs when a water system
triggers two Level 1 Assessments in a rolling 12-month period, has an E. coli maximum contaminant
level (MCL) violation or approved annual monitoring exceeds a Level 1 trigger in 2 consecutive
years.32

Operator Certification & Workforce Development
Montana's Water and Wastewater Operator Certification Program
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality's Water and Wastewater33 Operator
Certification Program is an important component of the state's capacity development
strategy. The program, which oversees approximately 1,655 certified water and wastewater
operators, works closely with the Public Water Supply Program and DWSRF Program to protect
public health and the environment. The program serves two significant purposes. First, the program
makes sure that all CWSs and non-transient non-community water systems (NTNCWSs) have
properly certified operators. Second, the program provides testing, recordkeeping and program
information services, as well as ensures that operators are continuously trained to maintain
certification.34
New Jersey's Pilot Water System Operator Internship Program
In 2011, NJDEP initiated a one-year licensed operator internship program. Utilities were
able to receive EPA Expense Reimbursement Grants to hire and train interns to serve as
licensed operators. Supplemental funds were provided from the 10 percent set-aside. After
completing the internship, interns were eligible to take Water Treatment or Water Distribution Class
I State exam. Sixteen individuals completed the internship program. Out of the 16 individuals, 14 are
still employed in their positions, and 11 have become certified. The NJDEP is currently evaluating this
effort in order to establish a permanent and sustainable internship program without the use of
outside funds.35,36
Iowa's Water and Wastewater Treatment Technology Diploma Program
In order to develop a pool of qualified future operators, Iowa's Department of Natural
Resources partnered with the Des Moines Area Community College to establish the
Water and Wastewater Treatment Technology Diploma Program. The program is intended to attract
both entry-level students and current operators looking to improve their certification level or to earn
a degree. The program includes course work and training in treatment, communication, human
relations, water analysis and environmental science. Furthermore, the program requires students to
obtain an internship to gain practical experience.37

the program's work planning and priority setting and to serve as a resource and reference for
training partners and other external agencies. Important components of implementing the strategy
included promoting awareness of and collaboration among trainers and building trainer support
services to the various trainers in the state.
The program partnered with the Rocky Mountain Section of the American Waterworks Association
to facilitate developing an administrative framework for the training strategy. The framework,
Colorado's Drinking Water Operator Training Framework: A Blueprint for Building a Comprehensive,
High-Quality and Targeted Training Program for Colorado's Drinking Water Operators, is intended to
define the processes, guidelines and expected outcomes for training activities supported by the
program and to assist in decision making regarding the allocation of funds and resources for PWS
training services in the future.38
New Jersey's Special Purpose Sampling Efforts
Even though set-asides cannot be used to fund routine sampling activities, they can be
used for special purpose sampling and laboratory analyses of these special purpose
samples, which is how NJDEP proposed to use additional funds in SFY 2015. NJDEP is conducting
special purpose sampling for synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) in raw water sources in order to
provide a basis for the state's SOC monitoring waiver program. NJDEP also samples all new water
sources for an expanded list of contaminants, and they conduct limited occurrence studies for
contaminants of emerging concern. NJDEP contracts with the Department of Health laboratory to
analyze the samples.39

Water and Energy Efficiency
Introduction
As water systems continually deal with limited budgets and increasing infrastructure costs, assessing
water and energy use is vital towards building sustainable, resilient systems. Water and energy
efficient programs utilize improved technologies and management practices to provide a high level of
service while using less water and/or energy, Strategies include increased conservation, reuse
efforts, water loss reduction, water loss prevention and renewable energy (e.g., solar, wind or other
green power solutions). Water and energy efficient projects often times have the added benefit of
reducing energy consumption, enhancing both the technical and financial capacity of a water system.
These projects can increase suppliers' fiscal health by reducing operating costs, avoiding water
purchases and postponing some capital improvement projects. This can be especially important for
small, disadvantaged systems. State projects range from leak detection studies to sustainability
proposals designed to increase a water system's resilience to extreme weather. Many states will hire
or partner with third-party providers to conduct efficiency studies, and applicable funds can be
drawn from multiple set-asides. Exhibit 12 shows which states conducted water and energy
efficiency activities using the DWSRF set-asides and which set-asides they used to fund these
activities. Use of Set-Asides for Water and Energy Efficiency: 11 states use one set-aside; 5 states
use a combination of set-asides.

Introduction
Circuit Riders Conducting Leak Detection Surveys in Missouri
Missouri plans to continue the leak detection program which began in 2011. This
program includes contracting with circuit riders from the Missouri Rural Water Association to
conduct leak detection surveys using water main leak location equipment. According to the
Missouri Department of Natural Resources, by 2014 this program had already saved drinking
water systems approximately $336,000 and over 56 million gallons of finished water. This
program has successfully identified leaks that had been undiscovered for over 20 years, costing
one system about $80,000 over that span of time. In 2014 alone, leak detection efforts saved
water systems approximately $12,000 and nearly 10 million gallons of water per month. This
assistance allows water systems to become more sustainable and efficient, increasing their
technical and financial capacity. The state anticipates the continued success of the leak
detection program in creating more sustainable water systems. The program continued to
reserve set-aside funds for this purpose in FFY 2016.41
Opportunity for Utah's Small Systems to Increase Energy Efficiency
Utah's Division of Drinking Water (DDW) has created an energy efficiency program
that all drinking water systems, regardless of size, are encouraged to participate in.
Water systems in Utah that have implemented energy efficiency initiatives have saved between
$42,000 and $300,000 annually. The DDW is encouraging all water systems to evaluate their
operations and infrastructure to identify possible energy and cost-saving opportunities. Taking
into consideration that small and very small systems are at a disadvantage, the DDW has used
funding available from the 2 percent set-aside to partner with the Rural Water Association of
Utah (RWAU) to purchase equipment that will be available for these systems to help them
identify areas where energy efficiency can be improved. The new equipment includes leak
detectors, a pipeline camera and an infrared camera, which are expected to last up to 10 years.
RWAU and DDW staff will work together with small systems to use these tools to ultimately save
energy and financial resources.42

Addressing Sustainability through Maryland's Capacity
Development Strategy WIfb/rmwMm
In their most recent capacity development report to the governor, Maryland
Department of the Environment's Water Supply Program documented the change they made to
their Capacity Development Strategy for Existing Systems. In 2009 they revised the program to
include activities that ensure sufficient and sustainable water supplies for PWSs. This was
prompted by severe drought conditions in the early 2000s and future water supply projections
indicating some communities could experience drought if steps were not taken to encourage a
better understanding of the hydrologic system and to include water efficiency and conservation
in future planning. As part of the strategy implementation, areas for training and technical
assistance efforts are identified and promoted, including water conservation, climate change
and resiliency planning, water system security and emergency response and recovery. The
revised strategy allows for improving upon Maryland's drought management plan, conducting
hydrologic studies, assisting PWSs with developing and implementing capacity management
plans and promoting the use of water conservation technologies.43

Partnerships
Introduction
Through various types of water system partnerships, water systems could potentially reduce
costs, increase operational efficiency and decrease vulnerability to disaster and emergency
situations, such as drought or extreme weather. Through a variety of options, such as informal
agreements, contracting for operations and maintenance services or mergers and acquisitions,
partnerships have the ability to strengthen managerial and financial capabilities as well as
provide more reliable services to customers. From an emergency preparedness standpoint,
partnerships enable water systems to effectively respond to regional issues through
collaboration. For example, a pump failure in a system without a partnering utility may lead to
customers without water and sewerage services, but a system that has established partnerships
might be able to rely on a neighboring system for assistance, such as a back-up generator,
treated water, or other support that can reduce the amount of time that services are disrupted.
Partnering organizations can also form regional commissions to advance collective objectives,
such as source water protection. Exhibit 13 shows states that funded partnership activities using
the DWSRF set-asides and which set-asides are used. Use of Set-Asides for Partnerships: 15
states use one set-aside; 5 states use a combination of set-asides.
Encouraging Partnerships as a Strategy for Strengthening Small
Systems in New York
As part of their strategy for the Small Water Systems Program, the New York State
Department of Health (NYSDOH) encourages and provides public health priority ranking points
to small water systems to consider consolidation as a collaborative or regional approach to
water supply services. In many cases, the additional public health priority ranking points are an
incentive that results in improved DWSRF financing terms for those communities. The NYSDOH
also encourages small systems to form partnerships, contract operation and maintenance
services and implement mutual-aid agreements through joining the New York
Water/Wastewater Emergency Response Network, which is a network of utilities that will
provide other utilities assistance in the wake of a disaster or an emergency.44
Providing Incentive for Consolidation in Washington
Washington uses funds set-aside for capacity development to encourage water
system consolidation by paying for the water system connection fees, paying for
feasibility studies for systems considering consolidation and for pre-construction grants that
cover some of the costs of planning and design. The intent is to provide greater public health
protection by switching the customers' water supply from a system lacking capacity to a system
that can provide reliably clean and safe drinking water.45

Consolidation Success in Texas
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) provides free consolidation
assessments for small water systems considering consolidation with a nearby
system. In their 2014 report to the governor on capacity development, TCEQ included a success
story for one investor-owned small water system that had undergone consolidation with
assistance from the state's Financial, Managerial and Technical (FMT) Assistance Program. The
owner had struggled to operate and manage the system, and the system lacked sufficient
revenue to pay for required sampling and hire a licensed operator. FMT offered management
assistance early on in 2013 while also exploring consolidation opportunities with the owner.
FMT identified another water system interested in consolidating and supported the
consolidation by facilitating meetings between the two facilities and answering questions. FMT
ultimately assisted the systems in reaching an agreement to consolidate/1'

Set-Aside Use
Accurate data management and updated information systems can greatly increase the overall
function of a PWS. These efforts provide systems with the technical tools needed to map,
collect, analyze and report data more efficiently. Some systems contract out activities such as
GIS mapping, water meter data analysis and database subscriptions, and states can fund these
services. Modeling is a particularly useful subsection of data management, which can provide
predictive insight towards source water vulnerability and contamination. Other activities
covered by set-aside funding include maintaining and updating the state's Safe Drinking Water
information System (SDWIS) data system and program specific databases, converting files to
electronic recordkeeping, personal digital assistant services and software/hardware upgrades,
such as GIS capabilities. Funding can apply to multiple set-asides for data management. Most
states use set-asides to conduct data management activities. Exhibit 14 shows states that
funded data management activities using the set-asides and which set-asides are used. Use of
Set-Asides for Data Management: 12 states use one set-aside; 27 states use a combination of
set-asides.
Florida's Data Management Practices for Source Water Protection
As part of Florida's Source Water Protection Program, the state planned to conduct
several data management-related activities in SFY 2015. The first activity included
modeling to create an assessment area for performing a source water assessment for two
surface water intakes that were added in 2010. For the second activity, Florida planned to make
updates to the Florida Aquifer Vulnerability Assessment models by adding new and improved
input data to GIS layers. The third task was to develop and populate a database for the
Delineated Areas Program in order to track the permitting and construction of new wells in
areas of known ground water contamination.48
Mapping Nevada's Small Systems' Assets
Technical assistance is provided to small water systems in Nevada to create
electronic water system maps and asset databases. The effort allows systems to
capture institutional knowledge and information from outdated paper maps, update it and store
everything in one place using modern data management technologies. Nevada reported in their
2014 report to the governor on capacity development that the Nevada Rural Water Association
had already assisted 23 water systems in identifying and mapping their assets. Not only do these
water systems update and consolidate vital information, but they are also provided information
on new tools for organizing data through this effort.49

Pennsylvania's River Alert Information Network (RAIN)
The River Alert Information Network (RAIN) was established in 2007 as an early
warning spill detection system in the Ohio River Basin. This interstate network,
initiated by 33 water systems, PADEP and California University of Pennsylvania, is a source water
protection measure, which also involves updating and managing data. The system includes 23
monitoring sites and 47 water suppliers. PADEP allocates money to maintain the early warning
spill detection system and upload user-friendly data, which alerts the member systems. In
addition, RAIN provides technical assistance to member systems.51

system programming for the Wisconsin DNR's Drinking Water System (DWS), The
DWS is a public database that contains data from Wisconsin's PWSs. It is at the center of the
PWSS Program in Wisconsin. The DWS includes the data and functionality to address the
following (not all inclusive):
Monitoring data and requirements including monitoring site plans;
Water system inventory;
Operator certification information;
Consumer Confidence Reports (CCRs);
A sanitary survey tool for tracking deficiencies and corrective actions and creating
standardized assessment letters;
RTCR assessments and triggers;
RTCR seasonal system start-up and annual site visit tracking;

Emerging Contaminants
Introduction
The goal of promoting funding for emerging contaminants is to expand the understanding of
new threats to water quality, clean drinking water and public health. To ensure public health
protection, new contaminants must be addressed proactively to protect drinking water, as well
as watershed and ecosystem health. Set-aside funding can be used for research purposes, to
learn more about emerging contaminants and to support new technologies designed to test for
these chemicals. Understanding emerging contaminants can support source water protection,
vulnerability assessments, technical assistance and outreach and training. A handful of states
reported that they use set-asides to conduct activities related to emerging contaminants. Exhibit
15 shows the states that funded these activities and which set-asides they use. Use of Set-
Asides for Emerging Contaminants: 6 states use one set-aside.

Introduction
West Virginia's Consumer Drug Return Program
In order to reduce pharmaceuticals in surface and ground water sources, West
Virginia has initiated the West Virginia Consumer Drug Return Program. Instead of
disposing of expired medication in the trash or flushing expired mediation into water systems,
which could ultimately contaminate source waters, consumers can safely dispose of drugs by
bringing them to a pharmacy that participates in the program. Activities will be funded to
expand and promote this program and source water protection to the public.56,57
Addressing Harmful Algal Blooms in Ohio
Ohio used the set-asides to establish a fund of $1.5 million to award grants to
surface water PWSs to reimburse the purchase of cyanotoxin investigative
monitoring equipment. The overall program goal is to promote investigative monitoring at
surface water PWSs to enable them to react quickly to rapidly changing raw water conditions as
a result of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) to protect public health. Having the capacity to analyze
samples at the water supply instead of sending samples to an outside laboratory will allow
flexibility in monitoring and timely response to any potential finished water detections. In
addition, Ohio funds 9 PTEs for implementation of the Ohio HAB Response Strategy
(http://epa.ohio.gov/ddagw/HAB.aspx). They provide outreach to surface water PWSs on the
HABs Response Strategy and contingency planning during all times of the year. During HABs
season (May-August), Ohio EPA staff assists PWSs in responding to raw and finished water
cyanotoxin detections and optimizing treatment. Staff also provide backup on raw and finished
water sampling.

Other Innovative Uses of Set-Asides
Innovation is a key concept when considering the multitude of challenges faced by PWSs, such
as aging infrastructure, increasing energy costs, revenue loss and extreme weathers. Set-aside
funding can be used to support activities that directly benefit systems in new ways. These
innovative activities are often unique to the state's own needs and may address issues not faced
by all states. Innovations may be in a variety of areas, including testing procedures, design or
energy management strategies, financing techniques to secure funding, concept technology
aimed at improving functionality and compliance and ways to mitigate the effects of disaster
and emergency situations. Most states perform some sort of innovative activity using the set-
asides. Highlighted below are just a few examples of how states are conducting "out of the box"
activities funded by DWSRF set-asides.
Idaho's Autodialer System
Idaho uses capacity development funds to pay for an autodialer, which reminds
water system operators and owners about required sampling. The system is set up to
both call and email a water system when the SDWIS database shows that the system has not
sampled within the last two weeks of a compliance period. Not only has the autodialer reduced
the number of monitoring violations by 47 percent, but it has also reduced the amount of time
the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality staff spend reminding water systems to sample.
This has proven to be a cost- and time-saving effort that ultimately increases public health
protection. The autodialer system can provide further benefit by disbursing other vital or
emergency information to water systems.58
Massachusetts's Stakeholder Initiatives
MassDEP reported in their most recent capacity development report to the governor
that they initiated two Stakeholder Involvement Initiatives between 2010 and 2014.
This effort was to encourage partnerships among non-profit organizations, environmental
agencies and PWSs to increase water system capacity. Both initiatives offered training, site visits
and mentoring to water systems. During the second initiative, MassDEP partnered with the
Massachusetts Rural Water Association, United States Department of Agriculture,
Environmental Finance Center Network and Texas A&M Engineering Extension School to provide
trainings to PWSs on various topics, including leak detection, pump and motor maintenance,
rate setting, board training, public relations, disinfection and sampling. A total of 82 technical
activities were carried out between SFY 2012 and 2014 through these stakeholder initiatives.59

Conclusion: DWSRF Considerations for the Future
Introduction
The DWSRF is a public health protection program. The program's set-asides strengthen water
system management practices in an effort to address current system challenges and increase
long-term capacity of systems nationwide. States conduct a wide variety of activities using the
four DWSRF set-asides to strengthen the PWSS Program and implement the three preventative
programs for Capacity Development, Operator Certification and Source Water Protection. The
following activities are some of the ways that states can use set-asides.61
• Provide various forms of outreach and training to PWSs, local officials and the public;
• Offer technical assistance to disadvantaged systems;
• Encourage PWSs to sharpen their financial management skills and to conduct rate
studies to develop more sustainable rate structures;
• Engage in source water and wellhead protection activities, which includes new
research, state plans and improved databases, among others;
• Support and advance state drinking water programs and also state Operator
Certification and Capacity Development Programs;
• Explore and implement ways to increase the water and energy efficiency of PWSs;
• Engage in partnerships with other PWSs, organizations and even with other states to
encourage increased capacity (e.g., through consolidation), source water protection and
for other various purposes;
• Explore and update data management technologies and making vital data available to
the public and government officials using new data platforms; and
• Research emerging contaminants and implementing programs to prevent
contamination.
With such diversity in potential activities, it is important to consider the differences in state
program organization and priorities in order to identify the activities and funding mechanisms
that are most appropriate for each state. Each state develops their own balance between
funding infrastructure through DWSRF loans and funding non-infrastructure projects through
the DWSRF set-asides, and the balance of funding may change over time as needs change.
Identifying that state-specific balance is crucial to managing a successful drinking water
program. States should regularly review their Capacity Development Program and PWSS
Program priorities to determine the overall effectiveness of set-aside usage.
Set-aside funds should support capacity development as a means toward achieving long-term
sustainability. This document provides states with a framework by which to evaluate their own
set-aside usage and consider new ways to use set-asides in their state that will work to further
enhance PWS capacity. It is also important for states to encourage communication and
collaboration between state Capacity Development and DWSRF Programs to ensure funds are
used efficiently and effectively. States have the primary responsibility to implement their
DWSRF Program and should ensure the flexibility to manage their funds in accordance with local
conditions and challenges.

IV. Appendix A: Matrix of Set-Aside Use
Introduction
State Stories
The information addressed in this appendix was obtained from various sources. The state
activities were identified using a combination of:
1. DWSRF National Information Management System (DWNIMS);
2. State DWSRF Intended Use Plans (lUPs);
3. State DWSRF set-aside work plans; and
4. Latest state triennial capacity development reports to the governor.
The information taken from the Governor Reports discuss the activities the states took from
2012-2014, while the lUPs and work plans discuss the activities the states intend to take. For the
most part, the lUPs and work plans address proposed activities that were to be undertaken in
SFY 2015 using the DWSRF capitalization grants from FFY 2014 or FFY 2015. However, in some
cases the available information had to be taken from reports that document proposed activities
for 2016, and in a few cases proposed activities for 2014. The year addressed in each report
used to gather information on state activities is included on each state's table in Appendix A.
The financial information for all set-asides was taken from EPA's Drinking Water National
Information Management System (DWNIMS) data. The period reported for the financial
information for all states is from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015. The "Set-aside Total" reports the
cumulative amount awarded, including transfers, since the DWSRF was established. Similarly,
the amount "Expended" is cumulative, and the amount "Remaining" is the difference between
the cumulative "Set-aside Total" and the cumulative amount "Expended." The percentage
reported after the "Set-aside Total" is the percent the state chose to take during the reporting
period. States do not always choose to use the full set-aside available, and this percentage
varies among states. The percentage listed adjacent to the monetary amount "Expended" is the
percent of the "Set-aside Total" used, and the percentage listed adjacent to the monetary
amount "Remaining" is the percent of the "Set-aside Total" not used.
