The Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (the Trust) is pleased to submit its Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) Annual Report for State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2015.

The Trust is a collaborative effort between the Treasurer’s Office, the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). Our leveraged financing program enables us to maximize the impact of our efforts throughout the Commonwealth. To date, the Trust has used approximately $2.2 billion in federal grants and state matching funds to finance nearly $6.3 billion in clean water and drinking water construction projects.

As our water infrastructure continues to age, now is the time for municipalities to invest in protecting both the health of their citizens and the environment, while supporting economic development in their communities. Easy access to financing is essential in order to achieve these goals. The Trust continues to do its part by providing subsidized loans backed by its AAA credit. In SFY 2015 the Trust provided approximately $327.0 million in commitments for low interest rate loans to cities and towns across the state. The commitment amount will support an estimated 1,960 construction and engineering jobs. This financing provides vast benefits to the quality of the state’s waterways. The funding also protects public health through projects such as combined sewer overflow removal, wastewater treatment plant upgrades, sewer system construction and rehabilitation, septic system repairs, drinking water treatment facilities, treated water storage and water main replacement and rehabilitation.

The Trust continues to be a leader in the SRF arena. In January, the Trust was one of the first SRFs to issue Green Bonds. The sale of $228 million of Green Bonds went to finance water and wastewater projects and provided the Trust with an opportunity to showcase the vital work being done by our cities and towns. The Trust led the SRF industry with its Green Bond disclosure, which has been used by other SRFs that issued Green Bonds. The Annual Report provides an update to the disclosure in the Appendix as to the use of proceeds.

I would like to thank the staff of the Trust and our partners at MassDEP. We wish to also acknowledge the excellent work of everyone at the Environmental Protection Agency Region One for all of their efforts this year. Without the combined efforts of these organizations, our state’s innovative economic and environmental initiatives would not be possible.

Finally, I would like to thank our borrowers, the cities and towns within the Commonwealth. Their dedication to protecting the environment and the public health of their citizens drives our program’s success. My office looks forward to serving as an accessible partner in this vital work.

Sincerely,

Deborah B. GoldbergChairMassachusetts Clean Water Trustwww.mass.gov/treasury

2015 SRF ANNUAL REPORT | 1

InTRoduCTIonThe Massachusetts Clean Water Trust (the Trust), in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) provides cities and towns of the Commonwealth with low interest rate loans for water infrastructure projects. MassDEP manages project development and approval while the Trust manages the flow of money to the communities. Each year, MassDEP prepares the Intended Use Plan (IUP) of projects as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The IUP establishes the Commonwealth’s project priorities for the upcoming year. This is accomplished through two programs – the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Drinking Water SRF. The EPA requires reporting on both of the programs through the Clean Water SRF Annual Report and the Drinking Water SRF Biennial Report. These reports have been combined into this report, which covers the State Fiscal Year (SFY) ending June 30, 2015.

An estimated 97% of Massachusetts citizens have benefited from these essential projects. In SFY 2015, the Trust provided binding commitments for 40 clean water projects, including the Community Septic Management Program (CSMP), totaling over $246.2 million and 25 drinking water projects totaling $81.0 million.

The SRF loan program receives funding from the EPA in the form of an annual grant, supplemented

by state matching grants and the repayment of loans from borrowers. In addition, the Trust issues bonds guaranteed by pledged assets that are funded by federal and state grants. The Trust’s lending and bond issuance programs are structured in such a way that ensure adequate cash flows to fund its loans and to repay its bonds to maturity. The Trust’s bonds are secured by a

combination of pledged sources which include loan repayments, contract assistance from the Commonwealth and interest earnings on debt service reserve funds. The “Financial Summary” section provides additional details on the financial management activities and most recent bond issue of the SRF program.

Since its inception in 1989, the SRF loan program has provided over $6 billion in loans to nearly 300 borrowers to improve and maintain the quality of water in the Commonwealth.

The Clean Water SRF provided $246.2 million of project financing to create an estimated

1,477 construction and engineering jobs.

The Drinking Water SRF provided $81.0 million of project financing to create an estimated 486 construction and

engineering jobs.

This report covers the State Fiscal Year ending June 30, 2015


Extended Term Financing As in previous years, the Trust continues to offer extended term financing up to 30 years to its participants. Extended term financing is available for Clean Water projects that can demonstrate that the project’s useful life is at least as long as the term of the loan. The term can be extended to a maximum of thirty years.

DisbursementsDuring 2015, the Trust disbursed $207.2 million for Clean Water projects to various local governmental entities through the program project funds and interim loans. Of this amount, $0.9 million was disbursed in the form of additional subsidy with repayment not required, to either “Renewable Energy” projects or projects in “Environmental Justice” communities. These projects have already received $2.7 million in subsidies.

Administrative Expenses For SFY 2015, $1.4 million of annual Clean Water SRF grant administration funds were spent by MassDEP. This consisted of $1.0 million in federal funds and $0.4 million in state matching funds. These costs were associated with construction management of the Clean Water SRF program. An additional amount of $4.3 million was spent from the Trust’s Administrative Fund to supplement MassDEP administrative costs for both the Clean

2015 Clean Water Program ResultsIn 2015, the Trust continued to expand its program by providing new commitments of over $246.2 million in financing for 40 loans to communities across the Commonwealth. Of the 40 loans, 4 were provided to the Community Septic Management Program (CSMP). The CSMP provides low interest financing to Massachusetts’ cities and towns to assist homeowners in the repair of failed septic systems.

Interim Loans The Trust makes funds available to eligible projects on the IUP through its Interim Loan Program year round. Borrowers can enter into a short term loan that enables projects to proceed prior to a Trust bond sale. The Trust is capable of funding a project prior to a bond sale by extending the use of program equity funds as a source of capital. The interest is accrued monthly on the basis of the balance drawn on the construction account. The interest rate is set at one-half of the one year Massachusetts Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT) rate. The average interest rate charged in SFY 2015, accruing only on drawn funds, was 0.10%. During SFY 2015, 97 projects had drawn $119.5 million of interim loan funds.

Massachusetts continues to finance projects that focus on rehabilitation of wastewater infrastructure which promotes sustainability and smart growth principles. The SRF program provides additional subsidy to designated low income Environmental Justice Communities and continues to perform outreach activities to help borrowers realize opportunities to implement energy efficiency/alternative energy projects.


and Drinking Water programs as well as fund the administrative costs of the Trust. The Trust also provided the final payment of the total $3.5 million commitment, funding $0.5 million to the Cape Cod Commission in SFY 2015 to help with the overall costs in developing a regional wastewater management plan called for under the federal Clean Water Act. The plan has since been finalized and approved by the state and federal government.

American Iron and Steel MassDEP has incorporated the American Iron and Steel (AIS) requirements into its Loan Application and Plans and Specifications Package. The necessary language has also been added into the Project Regulatory Agreement and the Financing Agreement. AIS reviews are being conducted as part of routine construction inspections and are being documented in inspection reports.

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act In compliance with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), the Trust reports recipient or sub-recipient awards for any amount equaling $25,000 or greater in the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) at www.fsrs.gov. The loans used by the Trust for FFATA Reporting can be found in the Appendices to this report.

Green Project Reserve For the 2014 CWSRF Federal Grant, the Trust was required to provide $4.8 million in financing to projects that were identified as Green Projects. In its 2014 IUP, MassDEP identified 15 projects totaling $171.6 million that are considered to be either entirely or partially Green. Since all of the Green Projects that advanced to construction are only partially green and have just recently started construction, MassDEP is now working with the project consultants to review the schedules of values to extract the green portions of the projects. Once these values are calculated, they will be entered into the Clean Water Benefits Reporting System (CBR).

For the 2013 grant, $4.5 million was required for the Green Project Reserve. To date, a total of $3.6 million or 7.9% of the grant has been reported in the CBR. A significant number of projects from the 2013 Intended Use Plan (IUP) that were identified as Green, did not proceed to construction, resulting in this reduced dollar value of Green projects. There are several projects from the 2013 IUP that are proceeding that may be considered Green with a business case. MassDEP is evaluating these projects further to see if they qualify as Green projects. If they qualify as Green, they will be entered into CBR. MassDEP will update this section of the Annual Report in 2016 to reflect any changes that may occur to the Green Project Reserve numbers for the 2013 grant.

Additional Subsidy Massachusetts provided $3.5 million in additional subsidy from the 2014 grant, which is within the $2.6 to $3.9 million range required by the federal grant. This additional subsidy is dedicated to communities that would not otherwise be able to afford the projects. Massachusetts chose to apply these funds to communities that meet the Environmental Justice (EJ) income threshold of below 65% of the state’s median household income and for renewable energy projects. This targets the subsidy to lower income communities across the Commonwealth as well as providing subsidy for renewable energy projects that would typically have lengthy payback periods without the subsidy. Massachusetts provides the subsidy to the communities in the form

of principal forgiveness. During the reporting period, the subsidy was given to twelve Clean Water projects. Each project received an equivalent of 2.6% of the project cost as additional subsidy.

The funds used as additional subsidy are the first dollars drawn against the project. As of the date of this report, $2.7 million of the additional subsidy from the 2014 grant has been disbursed. The remaining funds should be disbursed within the next few months. As a follow up to 2014 Annual Report, all of the additional subsidy funds from the 2013 grant have been fully expended.


2015 Clean Water Leveraged Program The Trust program is leveraged by issuing bonds to increase capacity to be able to issue more loans. Federal and state grants are pledged to secure the bonds by either funding reserve funds or pledged direct loans or a combination of both. Since 2002, the Trust has provided loans to communities at a 2% interest rate. As the effective market interest rate on the bonds is higher than the 2% loan rate, borrowers receive a subsidy equal to the difference between the rates. Debt service on the Trust’s SRF Bonds is paid from a combination of three sources: borrower loan principal and interest repayments, interest earnings on the debt service reserve funds, and subsidy payments provided by the Commonwealth, known as contract assistance. Further discussion of the trust’s leveraged financing program can be found in the “The Financial Summary” sections.

Borrower Repayments Each borrower is obligated to repay the principal amount of its loan at a subsidized interest rate of 2% or less. However, those with extended term financing, greater than 20 years, may have a subsidized interest rate somewhat higher than 2%. In SYF 2015, borrower principal and interest loan repayments accounted for approximately 69.1% of debt service, totaling $200.8 million. Since 2012, the Trust has pledged certain direct loans that it makes from its program equity funds as additional security for its series of revenue bonds, rather than utilizing a traditional reserve fund. The interest the Trust receives from the pledged direct loans is used to pay a portion of debt service, while the principal payments received are available as additional security and recycled back to SRF program funds

after debt service obligations have been met. As of June 30, 2015, the Trust has $228.6 million of pledged direct loans outstanding.

Reserve Fund Interest Earnings Reserve funds, or pledged direct loans, are held as security for all Trust bonds at an amount between 33% and 50% of the outstanding principal. As of June 2015, the Trust held $745.0 million in Clean Water reserve funds invested in guaranteed investment contracts (GIC), and US Treasury and Agency obligations. Earnings on these investments are applied to pay a portion of the debt service on the related series of SRF Bonds. In SFY 2015, reserve fund earnings applied to current debt service payments accounted for 13.7% of debt service, totaling $39.9 million. As bonds are repaid, reserve funds are released and returned to the Clean Water Equity Fund. In SFY 2015, $74.7 million was released to the Clean Water Equity Fund, and made available for new loans.

Commonwealth Contract Assistance The Commonwealth has entered into an agreement with the Trust for contract assistance payments to subsidize debt service on the SRF Bonds. Contract assistance is appropriated annually in the Commonwealth’s operating budget. To date the Trust has received $910.1 million in Clean Water contract assistance with a future commitment of $285.8 million, for a total commitment by the Commonwealth of $1.2 billion. In SFY 2015 Commonwealth contract assistance accounted for approximately 17.2% of debt service, totaling $49.8 million in assistance applied.


Boston – Gardner Street Landfill ClosureThis project completes the closure of the former Gardner Street Landfill located in the West Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. The project includes the construction of a landfill cap and gas collection system, which allows for the site to be re-used by the West Roxbury Education Complex as an athletic field. The construction of the landfill cap will help reduce rainwater infiltration, which should lessen the generation of leachate under the site and help reduce the exposure of groundwater to buried wastes. The Trust provided nearly $15.8 million in project financing including $412,000 in principal forgiveness.

Clean WaTeR PRojeCTs

Great Barrington - Wastewater Treatment Facility Upgrade and I/I RemovalThis $4 million project includes upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) and improvements to the collection system to reduce Inflow and Infiltration (I/I). The treatment plant upgrades are replacing or repairing aging equipment, improving system reliability, achieving higher levels of phosphorus removal, and preparing for nitrogen removal upgrades. The WWTF upgrade includes installation of a reliable system to reduce total phosphorus loads to the Housatonic River, resulting in a reduction of eutrophication potential in the river and its ultimate receiving body, Long Island Sound.

The Massachusetts SRF program continues to meet the goals established in the annual IUP. As outlined in the IUP, all SRF projects are subject to the rigorous environmental review procedures of the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act.

The Clean Water SRF provides loans for a wide variety of projects. The primary recipients of Clean Water loans have been combined sewer overflow, wastewater treatment and wastewater collection projects. Although other projects such as drainage improvements, landfill closures, brownfields remediation, renewable energy projects, and other non-point source projects are eligible for funding.


Middleborough – Wastewater Treatment Facility UpgradeThis $25 million project is to upgrade the Wastewater Treatment Facility to address more stringent discharge permit limits, reduce nutrient discharges and protect the impaired receiving water downstream, specifically impacts to the Taunton River estuary as well as Mount Hope Bay and Narragansett Bay. The current plant was constructed in 1977 and has not undergone a major upgrade since then. This project is eligible to receive 0% interest rate financing for the nutrient reduction portion of the project and is also receiving nearly $654,000 in principal forgiveness.

Dracut – Sewer ExtensionsThis project involves the construction of new sanitary sewers that will mitigate the migration of leachate from failing septic systems into tributaries of the Merrimack River. In addition, the project will eliminate several direct sewage connections to the local stormwater system and mitigate impacts to natural resources, town conservation land and private drinking water supplies. The project will install approximately 11,000 linear feet of 8-inch diameter gravity sewer, approximately 1,000 linear feet of small diameter pressure sewers, approximately 2,100 linear feet of force mains and two submersible pumping stations within town roads and cross country areas. $4.7 million in project financing is being provided by the Clean Water Trust to the Town of Dracut.

2015 Drinking Water Program Results In 2015, the Trust continued to expand its program by providing new commitments of approximately $81.0 million in funding for 25 loans to communities across the Commonwealth.

Interim Loans The Trust makes funds available to eligible projects on the IUP through the Interim Loan Program year round. Borrowers can enter into short term loans that enables projects to proceed during the time prior to a Trust bond sale. The Trust is capable of funding a project prior to a bond sale by extending the use of program equity funds as a source of capital. The interest is accrued monthly on the basis of the balance drawn on the construction account. The interest rate is set at one-half of the one year Massachusetts Municipal Depository Trust (MMDT) rate. The average interest rate charged in SFY 2015, accruing only on drawn funds, was 0.10%. During SFY 2015, 33 projects had drawn $58.5 million of interim loan funds.

Disbursements During 2015, the Trust disbursed $82.8 million for Drinking Water projects to various local governmental entities through the program project funds and interim loans. Of this

Massachusetts continues to support protection of public health by ensuring that all its Public Water Suppliers have the necessary technical, financing and managerial capacity to maintain compliance with the current and foreseeable Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. The program continues to promote the completion of cost-effective projects that maximize protection of public heath.

year period. This should provide Massachusetts with a cushion to meet the small system requirement for the next several years.

Absent a large project like this, Massachusetts will almost always have difficulty meeting the small systems requirement. A survey of small systems indicated that federal cross cutting requirements such as Davis Bacon, American Iron and Steel and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise rules discourage them from coming to the SRF for financing unless the project is of sufficient size to overcome these additional costs. In addition, the current low interest rate environment has borrowers opting to get their own financing rather than meeting SRF requirements. Even if Massachusetts is able to include the requisite amount of projects in the IUP, there is no guarantee the projects will ultimately be built. Often times a community is unable to secure debt authorization, identifies another source of financing (such as rural development) or otherwise determines that a project should not go forward resulting in a high level of project attrition.

Going forward, the Trust will attempt to comply with the new interpretation of the small systems requirement. The MassDEP Drinking Water program does significant outreach to small systems throughout the Commonwealth through the 2% Small Systems Technical Assistance set aside, which stresses the availability and use of the SRF as a low cost source of financing. In the last year, the Drinking Water program held a series of workshops for small systems to identify grant and loan opportunities for those systems. Even with these efforts to reach and recruit small systems, the Trust is concerned that in many years, there may not be sufficient applications to make up 15% of the total assistance provided.

Small SystemsFor a number of years, the Trust has been providing financing to small systems in the amount of at least 15% of the federal grant, with the concurrence of EPA Region 1. During 2014, the EPA changed its interpretation of the small systems requirement from 15% of the federal grant to 15% of the total amount of assistance provided. This change in interpretation has a large effect on the Massachusetts program. When the 2014 IUP was prepared, MassDEP was working under the earlier interpretation of 15% of the grant amount. The IUP identified $3.6 million of small system projects, with 15% of the grant amount totaling $3.2 million. With an IUP in excess of $126.0 million, 15% of the total assistance comes to $19.0 million. In response to this change, MassDEP elevated all of the small systems on the Project Priority List to the IUP, which still only resulted in a total of $5.0 million. Of those projects, only two proceeded to construction totaling $3.0 million, well below the required $19.0 million.

For the 2015 IUP, MassDEP received small system applications from 7 communities totaling $20.0 million. One large project (Eastham) made up $16.0 million of this total. 15% of the $106.0 million IUP is just under $16.0 million. Based on this calculation Massachusetts should meet the 15% threshold for the 2015 IUP, however, at this point, it is unclear how many of the projects will proceed towards construction. The Eastham project has started construction and is expected to reach the $16.0 million cap established in the IUP, so that project alone should satisfy the small system requirement.Eastham is establishing a water distribution system for the first time, with an expected overall cost in excess of $125.0 million. The first phase of this project is $45.0 million to be funded over a three

Additional Subsidy Massachusetts was required to provide a minimum of $3.3 million in additional subsidy from the 2014 grant. This additional subsidy is provided to communities that would not otherwise be able to afford the project. Massachusetts chose to apply these funds to projects in communities that meet the Environmental Justice (EJ) income threshold of below 65% of the state’s median household income and for renewable energy projects. This targets the subsidy to lower income communities across the Commonwealth as well as providing subsidy for renewable energy projects that would typically have lengthy payback periods without the subsidy.

Massachusetts provides the subsidy to the communities in the form of principal forgiveness. During this reporting period, Massachusetts provided the required minimum amount of subsidy to four drinking water projects. Each project received an equivalent of about 5.7% of the project cost as additional subsidy.The funds used as additional subsidy are the first dollars drawn against the project. As of the date of this report, $3.2 million of the additional subsidy from the 2014 grant has been disbursed. The remaining funds should be disbursed within the next few months. As a follow up to 2014 Annual Report, all of the additional subsidy funds from the 2013 grant have been fully expended.


2015 Drinking Water Leveraged Program The Trust program is leveraged by issuing bonds to increase capacity to be able to issue more loans. Federal and state grants are pledged to secure the bonds by either funding reserve funds or pledged direct loans or a combination of both. Since 2002, the Trust has provided loans to communities at a 2% interest rate. As the interest rate on the bonds is higher than the 2% loan rate, borrowers receive a subsidy equal to the difference between the rates. Debt service on the Trust’s SRF Bonds is paid from a combination of three sources: borrower loan principal and interest repayments, interest earnings on the debt service reserve funds, and subsidy payments provided by the Commonwealth, known as contract assistance. Currently, all Drinking Water loans have a maximum term of 20 years; however, the Trust is working to implement an extended term financing program similar to the Clean Water program. The extended term financing is expected to be in place by the end of the calendar year.

Borrower Repayments Each borrower is obligated to repay the principal amount of its loan at a subsidized interest rate of 2% or less. In SFY 2015, borrower principal and interest loan repayments accounted for approximately 77.4% of debt service, totaling $65.6 million. Since 2012, the Trust has pledged certain direct loans that it makes from its program equity funds as additional security for its series of revenue bonds, rather than utilizing a traditional reserve fund. The interest the Trust receives from the pledged direct loans is used to pay a portion of debt service, while the principal payments received are available as additional

security and recycled back to SRF program funds after debt service obligations have been met. As of June 30, 2015, the Trust has $81.3 million of pledged direct loans outstanding.

Reserve Fund Interest Earnings Reserve funds, or pledged direct loans, are held as security for all Trust bonds at an amount between 33% and 50% of the outstanding principal. As of June 2015, the Trust held $178.6 million in Drinking Water reserve funds invested in guaranteed investment contracts and US Treasury and Agency obligations. Earnings on these investments are applied to pay a portion of the debt service on the related series of SRF Bonds. In SFY 2015 reserve fund earnings applied to current debt service payments accounted for 11.1% of debt service, totaling $9.4 million. As bonds are repaid, reserve funds are released and returned to the Drinking Water Equity Fund. In SFY 2015, $20.9 million was released to the Drinking Water Equity Fund, and made available to be applied to new loans.

Commonwealth Contract AssistanceThe Commonwealth has entered into an agreement with the Trust for contract assistance payment to subsidize debt service on the SRF Bonds. Contract assistance is appropriated annually in the Commonwealth’s budget. To date the Trust has received $127.0 million in Drinking Water contract assistance with a future commitment of $80.5 million, for a total commitment by the Commonwealth of $207.5 million. In SFY 2015, Commonwealth contract assistance accounted for approximately 11.5% of debt service, totaling $9.7 million in assistance applied.


Sanitary Survey Program – MassDEP Drinking Water staff is responsible for evaluating the technical, financial and managerial capability of Community, Non-Transient Non-Community and Transient Non-Community PWS. During the last year the Drinking Water staff has completed 387 evaluations on existing systems. See Figure 1 below for breakdown of system types.

Operator Certification - MassDEP has a very active operator certification program. The program activities have been integrated into daily activities of staff. Program activities range from chairing the Board of Certification of Drinking Water Operators to providing general and specialized training of and guidance for drinking water operators at all levels.

Wellhead Protection Program – Technical assistance was provided to water supply systems for wellhead protection compliance, the development of protection plans, and for determining monitoring waiver eligibility.

Capacity Development - During the course of conducting sanitary surveys on public water systems, MassDEP staff identified 1,337 technical, financial or managerial deficiencies and provided corrective action assistance to ensure compliance. MassDEP’s Capacity Development strategy focuses on improving the technical, financial, and managerial operations of both new and existing public water systems in the Commonwealth.

Drinking Water Set-Asides MassDEP continues to use set-aside funds as outlined in the annual IUP. The following sections describe the basic programs and accomplishments.

4% Set-Aside: Administration MassDEP uses eight (8) full time equivalent (FTE) staff members to administer the Drinking Water SRF program. These FTEs utilize 4% set-aside funding to accomplish the following tasks: developing program selection criteria, application ranking and rating, project development, construction inspections, invoice payment, data management and administrative support functions.

2% Set-Aside: Small System Technical Assistance Municipal Services Support - MassDEP uses two (2) FTEs to support Municipal Services. These FTEs provide training and technical assistance (compliance and operational issues) to small systems throughout Massachusetts. During this past year MassDEP also worked with training and technical assistance providers; Massachusetts Rural Water Association, United States Department of Agriculture, (Rural Development), US EPA Environmental Finance Center (New Mexico), Texas A & M Engineering Extension School (TEEX) to provide trainings to Public Water System (PWS). Topics included leak detection, pump and motor maintenance, rate setting, board training, public relations, disinfection, sampling and exam review.

10% Set-Aside: State Program Management MassDEP used approximately nineteen (19) FTEs to administer the state Drinking Water program. These FTEs utilize 10% set-aside funding for Public Water System support including the following programs: Sanitary Survey, Source & Wellhead Protection, Emergency Response, Capacity Development, Operator Certification, Consumer Confidence Report assistance, adoption and implementation of new regulations, evaluation and maintenance of existing federal rules, planning, outreach, data management, engineering and construction supervision, compliance supervision and other drinking water program activities.

dRInkInG WaTeR PRojeCTsThe Massachusetts Drinking Water SRF program continues to meet the goals established in the annual IUP. As outlined in the IUP, all SRF projects are subject to the rigorous environmental review procedures of the Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act. Drinking Water projects typically involve construction and, or, rehabilitation of drinking water treatment plants, replacement of aging water mains and the construction of drinking water storage facilities.

Eastham – Water Supply SystemThe Town of Eastham does not currently have a public water supply system. Drinking water is supplied by small community public water systems and individual private wells. A number of private wells near the closed town landfill were found to be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane and there is an ongoing problem with nitrate concentrations in drinking water wells throughout town. Due to these contamination issues and their associated public health concerns, the town decided to pursue the construction of a town-wide water distribution system. This $45 million project is the first phase of the water distribution system consisting of the construction of two well fields, a water storage tank and 45 miles of water distribution piping.

Paxton – Maple Street Elevated TankThis $1.4 million project involves the replacement of the Maple Street elevated water tank with a new 210,000 gallon glass fused steel water storage tank and the demolition of the existing storage tank. Paxton has two water storage tanks, and the replacement of the Maple Street tank provides the necessary redundancy in the system that allows the town to take one tank offline for routine or emergency maintenance and still have adequate storage for the system. In addition to providing redundant storage, the new tank will be equipped with a booster chlorination system to improve water quality. Paxton is considered a small system as it serves a population of less than 10,000. The EPA requires that at least 15% of the assistance provided by the Drinking Water SRF go to small systems.


MWRA – Low Service StorageThis project is for the construction of a 20 million gallon potable water storage tank in the Town of Stoneham at its terminal reservoir at the northeastern extremity of the MWRA water service to metropolitan Boston. The project will provide not only improved storage but will also provide surge relief, protecting MWRA and community mains; allow more efficient use of the existing MWRA distribution system; and, provide emergency backup to 21 communities in the Northern Intermediate High and Northern High systems. The total project cost is $67.9 million. The Trust has provided $10.5 million in project financing over the last three years

Leveraged Financing ModelThe Trust’s SRF loan program receives funding from the EPA in the form of an annual grant, supplemented by state matching grants and the repayment of funds from previous borrowers (“SRF Program Funds”). The Trust’s SRF Program utilizes a “leveraged” financing model, under which federal grants and state matching grants are used as a source of security for revenue bonds (“SRF Bonds”) issued by the Trust. The proceeds from the SRF Bonds are used to fund loans to local governmental units for eligible project costs.

The leveraged structure of the Trust’s program permits the Commonwealth to substantially increase the amounts available to fund eligible project costs. Each federal grant and associated state matching grant dollar contributed to the program results in at least two to three dollars of project cost financing while assuring the perpetual nature of the revolving fund.

The Trust’s lending and bond issuance programs are structured to ensure adequate cash flows to fund its loans and to repay its bonds to maturity. Depending on the type of projects being financed, the terms of the loans to borrowers, and the subsidy levels to which the borrowers are entitled, the Trust applies its SRF Program Funds to fund either direct loans to local governmental units or, invest in reserve funds, or a combination of both, which are then pledged as a source of payment and security for the SRF Bonds.

Pledged Direct LoansUnder the pledged direct loan approach, the Trust pledges as additional security for a series of its SRF Bonds, direct loans (“Pledged Direct Loans”) that it has made or is making concurrently with the issuance of such SRF Bonds from its SRF Program Funds to eligible borrowers for Clean Water and Drinking Water projects. The Trust applies the interest payments on such Pledged Direct Loans to pay a portion of the debt service on the related series of SRF Bonds, thereby supplementing the loan repayment obligations of the borrowers of the Leveraged Loans funded by such SRF Bonds. Principal payments on the Pledged Direct Loans are pledged as further security for the related series of SRF Bonds. The Trust used the Pledged Direct Loan approach for its Series 18 SRF Bonds. The bonds are the third series of Trust SRF Bonds issued under the Pledged Direct Loan approach. As of June 30, 2015, the Trust has $310.0 million in Pledged Direct Loans.

The following discussion provides additional details on the financing management activities of the SRF loan program.


Reserve FundsIn the past, the Trust has applied a portion of its Program Equity Funds to establish reserve funds to secure a series of its SRF Bonds. Those investment earnings are then applied to pay a portion of the debt service on the related SRF Bonds, thereby supplementing the loan repayment obligation of the borrowers of the Leveraged Loans funded by such SRF Bonds. As of June 30, 2015, the Trust has $923.6 million in DSRF reserve funds invested in guaranteed investment contracts (GIC) and US Treasury and Agency Obligations.

SRF Bonds Sources of RepaymentPrincipal and interest payments on the Trust’s SRF Bonds are made from the following sources: (1) loan repayments from borrowers (2) earnings on the federal grants and state matching grants pledged as security to the SRF Bonds, including, as applicable, interest earning on reserve funds and interest payments on direct loans pledged to secure such bonds and (3) subsidy payments provided by the Commonwealth, known as contract assistance.

Commonwealth Contract Assistance PaymentsThe Commonwealth makes assistance payments on behalf of certain loans to borrowers to be used to pay a portion of debt service on the related series of the Trust’s SRF Bonds, thereby reducing the borrower’s loan repayment obligation. The obligation of the Commonwealth to make such payments to the Trust is a general obligation of the Commonwealth, for which its full faith and credit are pledged.

The Commonwealth has pledged over $430.1 million in current and future assistance payments on behalf of

program borrowers. The Commonwealth is currently rated “AA+/Aa1/AA+”.

* based on highest rating


Deallocation of FundsFor all bond series issued prior to Series 18, on each date that the Trust pays down the principal amount of a series of SRF Bonds, or borrowers pay down the principal amount of the related pledged loans, the amount held in the related reserve fund is reduced proportionately. The amounts released from each reserve fund are transferred either to the Pool Program Reserve Fund and then to the Deficiency Fund or directly to the Deficiency Fund. These funds are available to cure shortfalls in any bond series. If not needed to cure a shortfall, the released funds are transferred to the Program Equity Funds which assures the perpetual nature of the revolving fund.

Beginning with Series 18, the Bonds will be governed by the new Master Trust Agreement (MTA). The MTA simplifies the flow and deallocation of funds. As depicted on the chart above, the MTA deallocates funds in the same method as prior bond series but when the funds release they flow directly to the Program Equity Fund. The Program Equity Fund is then available to cure shortfalls in all bond series governed by the MTA and prior bond series. Once it has been determined there no shortfalls, the funds are then available to be disbursed

to new loans, thus assuring the perpetual nature of the revolving fund.

Series 18 Green BondsOn January 7, 2015 the Trust issued $228.0 million in Green Bonds to fund 78 loans to 45 unique borrowers which was secured by 38 pledged direct loans totaling $108.0 million to an additional 33 borrowers. The Trust was able to borrow these funds at the true interest cost of 3.20% due to its AAA rating by all three rating agencies and the credit strength of its borrowers. The bond series was also one of the first Green Bonds issued by a SRF program in the nation and the Green Bond disclosure has since been used by other SRF programs. By designating the bond series as Green Bonds the Trust was able to attract nine new investors in Trust bonds and five new investors to the Green Bond market. In the Appendix to the Annual Report the Trust is providing an update to the Green Bond Disclosure in the Series 18 Official Statement as to the use of Green Bond proceeds. The Trust will continue to report on the use of proceeds until the full amount has been expended.
