A. The June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1997 unexpended balances for Construction Assistance are hereby reappropriated.
B. The Department of Environmental Quality, as part of its regular water testing program, shall provide $10,000 the first year and $10,000 the second year from the general fund to the Smith Mountain Lake Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Project. The funds will be used to take samples from the lake to test water quality and chemical content.
C.1. Out of this item, the Department shall expend an estimated $270,000 from the Waste Tire Trust Fund to procure one-time services to remove and utilize the existing waste tire stockpiles that were identified in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the "Tire Processing Proposal" for Region 3, as approved by the Department in a cooperative agreement with the New River Valley Planning District Commission dated January 14, 1994.
2. The Department shall develop and enter into cooperative agreements with the Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission and the New River Valley Planning District Commission to provide ongoing waste tire management programs in Southwest and Southside Virginia. The focus of the agreements is to have the Commission serve as the contracting or administrative agent of ongoing waste tire programs for their respective jurisdictions. These cooperative agreements shall supersede all previous contracts, arrangements, and agreements with the two Commissions.
D. The Department of Environmental Quality, as part of its regular water testing program, shall provide $25,000 each year the first year and $25,000 the second year from the general fund to the Virginia Division of the Izaak Walton League of America to train and assist in maintaining a statewide program of volunteer citizen water quality monitors.
E. From existing program appropriations, the Department of Environmental Quality shall transfer $3,340 from the general fund in the first year to a dedicated special fund, in accordance with § 10.1-1422.01, Code of Virginia. This amount represents the difference between actual general fund litter tax collections in fiscal year 1996 and estimated collection amounts for which a supplemental appropriation was provided to the Department in fiscal year 1996. The fiscal year 1996 unexpended balances related to the litter control appropriation were carried forward into the 1996-98 biennium, to be used for grants to localities related to litter control and recycling.
