Investment Authority Act and 25 Pa. Code Ch. 963 (relating to

WHEREAS, The definition of "project" in section 3 of the
Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority Act includes
best management practices which are identified in
Pennsylvania's Nonpoint Source Management Program Update, as it
relates to section 319(b) of the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act (62 Stat. 1155, 33 U.S.C. ยง 1329(b)), as long as the best
management practices are part of a facility or system; and
WHEREAS, The board of directors of the authority has approved
approximately 118 nonpoint source program projects; and
WHEREAS, There is some uncertainty as to the eligibility of
some of the approved nonpoint source program projects, arising
from whether the transactions are actually projects under the
Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority Act; therefore
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives request the
Department of the Auditor General to conduct a financial audit
of all nonpoint source program projects approved by the board of
directors of the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment
Authority and to submit a report of the audit to the Chief Clerk
of the House of Representatives; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to
the department.
