STATUS OF THE POTOMAC INTERCEPTOR, MAY 16, 1967

Legislative Authority

The Potomac Interceptor was authorized by the Congress in Public Law 86-515, approved June 12, 1960. Funds aggregating $28 million for its construc, tion were appropriated in Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1961, in amount of $25,200,000, approved July 14, 1960, and in District of Columbia Appropriation Act, 1963, approved October 23, 1962, in amount of $2,800,000. Of the aggregate amount, $3 million was a Federal contribution representing the estimated cost which would have been incurred in extending a sewer from the District Line to the Dulles International Airport for the limited purpose of providing service to the Airport only and $25 million was in Federal loans to the credit of the Metropolitan Area Sanitary Sewage Works Fund. This fund was established by P.L. 86-515 to receive the appropriated grant and loan funds, as well as revenues from the project, and to be available for expenses of planning, construction, maintenance and operation of the Interceptor, and for repayment of the loans. The Act provides for repayment of loans in forty substantially equal annual payments, including interest and principal, but further provides for deferral of these payments whenever the income from services is inadequate to cover these and other expenses properly chargeable to the receipts. No interest is to accrue on such deferred amounts.

To provide similar treatment for the user jurisdictions with respect to the District's capital costs for added capacity in its trunk sewer system to transport the Potomac Interceptor flows within the District, the Congress, by Public Law 86-711, approved September 6, 1960, authorized corresponding deferrals of interest and principal payments on not to exceed $10 million of loans authorized to the Sanitary Sewage Works Fund.
