The SDWSRF program processes funding applications in the order complete applications are received. Technical, financial, and environmental reviews of each completed application are conducted to determine whether the proposed project meets fundability requirements for this program. The SDWSRF program will make funding offers to applicants whose projects meet the fundability requirements, subject to the availability of funds. Funding offers under the 2009 Statement of Intent will first be extended to the highest ranked projects that complete the application and review process.
