EPA Clears the Way for Much Needed Funds for Water and Sewer Repairs in Puerto Rico

0

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) announced the restructuring of more than 200 delinquent loans—totaling approximately $571 million in principal—owed to Puerto Rico’s clean water and drinking water State Revolving Fund (SRF) programs. This restructuring clears the way for the commonwealth’s idled SRF programs to once again provide critically needed funding to improve Puerto Rico’s water and sewer systems, create local jobs, and ensure that the people of Puerto Rico have safe and clean water.

PRASA provides drinking water to 97% of Puerto Rico’s 3.2 million people and sewer service to more than half of the Island’s communities. The lack of access to funding from the SRF programs has been a major obstacle to making water infrastructure repairs and improvements across the commonwealth.

“EPA is pleased that Puerto Rico’s SRFs are back on track and able to provide critically important funding for clean and safe water,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “With this loan restructuring, EPA is protecting taxpayer dollars while ensuring that funding is available for water infrastructure projects that will help build a stronger, safer, and healthier Puerto Rico.”

“After nearly two years, Puerto Rico is still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, which devastated portions of Puerto Rico’s infrastructure and highlighted the critical need for lasting and sustainable improvements in Puerto Rico,” said EPA Regional Administrator Pete Lopez. “Empowering PRASA to once again receive state revolving funds is part of EPA’s comprehensive and continuing efforts to help Puerto Rico recover. We are dedicated to helping Puerto Rico rebuild stronger and better.”

After many years of successful repayment, PRASA was unable to meet its SRF loan repayment obligations as of July 1, 2016. Since then, the loans have been in forbearance while EPA and key Puerto Rican authorities have worked in good faith with PRASA to develop a restructuring agreement for PRASA’s debt. EPA’s SRF experts played a key role in facilitating the discussion and resolution.

The finalization of the restructuring agreement will ensure the repayment of PRASA’s SRF loans, and PRASA will be eligible to apply for financial assistance from the Puerto Rico SRFs, which will help ensure the continued protection of public health and the environment for the residents of Puerto Rico.  The sound management of the state programs has ensured that the SRFs remain at the forefront of funding innovative solutions for treating wastewater, providing safe drinking water, addressing stormwater runoff, tackling non-point source pollution, and addressing a multitude of other environmental and public health issues facing this nation.

INDIANAPOLIS – Gov. Eric J. Holcomb announced Indiana National Guard Adjutant General Courtney Carr will retire.

“Upon my recommendation, Maj. General Courtney Carr has announced his decision to retire,” Gov. Holcomb said. “I received his resignation letter on Saturday, and I thanked him for his service to our state and country.”

Carr has served as Adjutant General since 2015 and his resignation is effective Friday.

Brigadier General Timothy Winslow will serve as the interim Adjutant General. Winslow is a career Army National Guard aviator and was promoted to brigadier general in May.

The Indiana Army and Air National Guard are reserve components of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force. During times of national emergency, National Guard members may be called into active federal service by the President of the United States.

During times of peace, the National Guard is commanded by the governor. In its state role, the National Guard assists local law enforcement agencies during emergencies at the direction of the governor. The distribution of soldiers, equipment and facilities across the state allows the National Guard to respond quickly and efficiently to emergencies statewide.

Indiana National Guard Leader Sued Over Retaliation Claim

,
A former contract worker has filed a lawsuit claiming she was retaliated against by the leader of the Indiana National Guard after she reported concerns about his affair with a subordinate.
Shari McLaughlin filed the lawsuit this month in Marion Superior Court against Major General Courtney Carr, Adjutant General of the Indiana National Guard.

McLaughlin began working as a contractor in 2017 and was assigned a mentor who allegedly began a relationship with Carr.

McLaughlin alleges once she came forward with concerns, she was retaliated against with false accusations and intimidation, among other things.  The lawsuit alleges she resigned in 2018 because her work environment “had become too unsafe and toxic.”

Indiana National Guard spokeswoman Beth Houx declined to `comment on the pending litigation.

No attorney is listed for Carr in court records.
