Beginning with the 2000-2002 biennium and each biennium thereafter, the
authority shall submit to the General Assembly a six (6) year program of
preconstruction and construction activities to maintain or increase water
available within the Kentucky River. The program shall include a two (2) year
construction component that shall be implemented as authorized by the
General Assembly in the authority's biennial budget and a four (4) year
preconstruction component that shall advise the General Assembly of the
consistency of ongoing and long-term planning with the construction activities
funded by the General Assembly.
The program shall be developed by considering, at a minimum, the following
factors:
(a) The population to be served by the available water;
(b) The social, economic, and environmental impact of program elements;
(c) The condition of existing facilities critical to water availability;
(d) The cost of maintaining, improving, replacing, or removing facilities; and
(e) The dependence of communities within the river basin on specific
Kentucky River dam pools or other sources of water.
The program shall include a four (4) year planning document setting out
preconstruction activities that include planning and design and an
environmental analysis of projects to maintain or increase water available
within the Kentucky River and geotechnical and stability evaluations of the
Kentucky River locks and dams.
The authority shall provide to the General Assembly a long-range planning
document consisting of twenty (20) years for water supply projects being
considered by the authority.
The authority shall be responsible for the execution of each six (6) year
program as approved and authorized in the budget by the General Assembly
and shall report any anticipated deviations from the authorized construction
funding or preconstruction program to the Interim Joint Committee on
Appropriations and Revenue.
