           An additional $69.3 million has been obligated to fund 38 water quality improvement projects in Ohio using U.S. EPA stimulus funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) along with loans from Ohio EPA.    Projects receiving ARRA subsidies are combined with low-interest loans through the Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA) for drinking water projects or Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) for water pollution control projects. Projects receiving ARRA subsidies combined with low-interest loans include the following WPCLF projects: * Lynchburg (Highland County) received a $1.6 million ARRA subsidy to combine with a nearly $1.4 million interest-free loan totaling nearly $3 million to improve the area's wastewater treatment plant to double treatment capacity and allow Lynchburg to treat wastewater from unincorporated areas nearby. * Portsmouth (Scioto County) received a $2.8 million ARRA subsidy to combine with a $2 million low-interest loan totaling $4.8 million to pay for improvements to the Lawson Run wastewater treatment plant.   * Williamsburg (Clermont County) received a $200,000 ARRA subsidy to combine with an equal interest-free loan totaling $400,000 to improve its wastewater treatment plant. ARRA funding will support 267 water pollution control projects in 160 communities and 65 drinking water projects in 52 communities in Ohio.  For additional information on the federal program, please visit www.epa.gov/recovery/, or see the Web sites below for Ohio specific details.  [[In-content Ad]]
