Explanation

(This amendment provides $1.35 million in FY 2018 (capital outlay) to the Department of Environmental Quality to support the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) to fund the acquisition of an extensometer to measure land subsidence. This is in support of HRSD's Sustainable Water Initiative for Tomorrow (SWIFT), which is a program to inject treated wastewater into the subsurface to raise groundwater pressure and thus expand and make more sustainable the aquifer system.)
