Funding for the remediation is included in the Gas Acquisition Cleanup within the Capital Improvements Budget for FY2006. This is funded through the Cost Recovery Factor charged to all Gas System Customers. Funding for the Stormwater work is available from the State Revolving Fund loan obtained for the project.
