Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated
to average 7.55 hours per response. This estimate includes time for
reviewing the instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering
and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the
information collected. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by person(s) to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information; adjust the existing
ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions; search data
sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit
or otherwise disclose the information. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The
OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9
and 48 CFR Chapter 15. 

Send comments on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy
of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for
minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated
collection techniques to the Director, OPPI, Regulatory Information
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (1804A), Ariel Rios
Building, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20460; and Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget,

If a project is coded 2G for “climate readiness” from List 3, please
refer to page 7 for supplemental questions. 

If you have more source, treatment, storage, or pumping projects check
this box ( and continue on a supplemental sheet (included in this
package or downloadable at www.DWNeeds.com). Project numbers for these
types of projects are 1000-1999, and should be numbered in sequence.

EPA requires documentation of all projects provided.  Applicable types
of documentation are presented in List 4 of the Lists of Codes.

Use only existing documentation of cost.  We do not expect you to
develop new cost estimates.



Transmission and distribution projects are the piping needs of a water
system.  Projects for valves, other valves, and meters that are not part
of a transmission or distribution project listed in this table should be
recorded in the table on page 6.

Transmission and Distribution Inventory

On the table below, please provide an estimate of the total feet or
miles of pipe in your system, if possible.  Completion of this table is
not required, but it may be helpful to ensure all potential transmission
and distribution pipe projects are considered.  

Note:  The total feet or miles of pipe in your system is required
information if any pipe projects are submitted based solely on
survey-generated documentation (documentation codes 10 or 11).

Meters, Service Lines, Backflow Prevention Devices/Assemblies, Large
Diameter Valves, etc

Projects for meters, service lines, backflow prevention devices and
assemblies and other miscellaneous projects are recorded in this section
to accommodate entries of multiple identical items on one line in the
project table. Record only projects that are not a part of another
project (e.g., water main replacement projects will already include
valves, hydrants and other appurtenances).   EPA requires documentation
of all projects provided.  Applicable types of documentation are
presented in List 4 of the Lists of Codes. Use only existing
documentation of cost.  We do not expect you to develop new cost
estimates.

Climate Readiness

Supplemental Questions

If you used code 2G from List 3, in the “Regulation” column of the
survey, indicating that you have one or more projects that are related
to climate readiness, please answer the following questions. Only one
response is requested; do not provide a response for each project.

Projects that included a climate ready component [Project #(s)]: 
________________                                                        
   _                 

Which of the following secondary consequences of climate change have
contributed to your system’s need for climate readiness projects?
(check all that apply)

Source water quality (e.g., water quality degradation affecting
treatment processes, alternate sources, etc.)

Source water quantity (e.g., availability affected by snowmelt or
weather patterns, or hydraulic patterns)

Infrastructure Vulnerability (e.g., facility locations affected by sea
level rise, increased precipitation intensity)

Other (please explain)_______________________

Please describe the data you are relying on to determine climate change
consequences and implications.

Model developed from state-specific data.

Source Projects are all projects related to collecting and pumping raw
water.  This includes wells, surface water intakes, springs, off-stream
raw water storage, pumps, and well houses.

Treatment Projects are all projects related to disinfection, filtration,
or other treatment processes for ground or surface water sources, or for
treatment applied in the distribution system.

Storage and Pumping Projects are related to finished or treated water
storage, and booster pump stations.
