A diverse group of public and private organizations is currently working in the 13-county metro Atlanta ozone non-attainment area to improve air quality through alternative fuel vehicle activities. Alternative fuel vehicles have been recognized as one of the many solutions to air quality problems, as they cut emissions by up to 97% in comparison with the emissions produced by vehicles powered by conventional fuels. In addition, alternative fuel vehicles reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

The PROGRAM will implement projects selected by a committee of representatives from State and Local Government, as well as private sector representatives. This PROGRAM requires expertise in several disciplines. Project elements include knowledge of alternative fuel vehicles and infrastructure, and experience in successfully managing federally funded projects. Potential contractors should submit qualifications for both program elements. The Authority intends to administer this program under one contract.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 267-24-.04 The General Scope and Purpose of the Project

A crucial part of the Authority's Mission is to provide financing and other support services for energy programs. To this end, the Authority sees twofold value in a high-profile, solar energy project. First, direct benefits are derived from the application of solar energy to uses that would otherwise require the burning of fossil fuels (i.e. electricity generation). This PROJECT will eliminate the need to burn fossil fuels to produce an equivalent amount of electricity, and therefore directly benefit Georgia's natural environment and citizens' health. Furthermore, a large and plainly visible photovoltaic solar array will increase public awareness of the technology. The PROJECT itself will serve as a promotion of renewable energy technology and evidence of its feasibility.

The PROJECT will require the cooperation of representatives from State & Local Government, as well as private sector representatives. Potential contractors interested in the PROJECT must comply with the requirements described below. The selection process consists of three phases.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. r. 267-27-.04 The General Scope and Purpose of the Grant

To provide one-time grants for the reuse of treated wastewater to support economic growth and development. The geographic area eligible for these grants is in the rapidly growing regions in Chatham, Effingham, Liberty, Bryan and Glynn Counties where scientific studies have shown that the continued pumping and use of the Floridan Aquifer will contribute to an increase in the salt content of this freshwater resource. These grant funds will be leveraged by municipal and private entities and will support pilot projects that will have immediate reuse results, reducing the pressure on the Floridan Aquifer. One way to foster more efficient and higher value uses of the aquifer is by encouraging via incentive the reuse or reclamation of wastewater to meet a set of water needs that will otherwise be met by use of potable water from the aquifer. The major provisions to be considered that will provide an incentive to reuse and reclaim wastewater are:

A) Treatment facilities capable of producing sufficient quantities of reusable water;

B) Sufficient wet-weather storage to retain reuse water for extended periods without storage and/or wet-weather discharge permit;

C) Transmission lines to convey reuse water to end users; and

D) Sufficient number of end users with the properly equipped mechanisms - and understanding - required to make efficient and effective use of reuse water.
