Abstract |
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducts site visits of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) clean water and drinking water projects. The purpose of the visits is to confirm compliance with selected Recovery Act requirements. We selected the Elizabeth City Well Field Expansion Project in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, for review. The city received a $2,366,255 Recovery Act loan from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program. The loan included $1,183,127 in principal forgiveness. The city will expand its well field with four new wells to meet the states 12 hour/day maximum pumping requirement. |
