Review of FY 2014 End of Year

Budget Status

• Excluding its informational budgets, 74% ofDENR's budget is personnel services;. 260/o is operating; DENR utilized 9·1 o/o ofits total budget authority

• DENR utilized 98% of its FTE allocation • DENR utilized 100 % ofits general funds • No transfers between personal services and operating ·were needed

2. Informational Budgets • Regulated Substance Response F,md

a.. Create,d by d1e 1988 Legislature to deal ,;1,,,:itl1 environmental cleanups b.. Uti lized $262,747 last year on 3 site:,, c. FY 2014 end-of-year bala;nce - $4.74 nulhoo. d. Includes Sl ,990,000 transfer to LUST Trust subaccount established by SDCL 34A-1 2-3.1

to provide EPA-mandated reimbursement for cleanup of 42 petro leum release sit.es. e. Future liabilities to the Fund

• Environ.mental cleanups - about 200 to 250 spills per year • EPA Brolun Ivfine Superfund site - state must provide 10% match for the projected

$97 million EPA Superfund cleanup; the state is then 100% liable for long-term 1,,vater treatment costs after EPA leaves

• Subaccount - cleanup ofpet:roleum release sites eligible for LUST Trust

• Environment.al Livestock Cleanup Fund a. Created by die 1998 Legislature to act as a safety net for environ.mental livestock

cleanups; the Legislature capped the fund at $2 111.i.llion b. Utilized $0 last year c. FY 2014 end-of-year ba]ance - $1.25 million d. Future liabdities to the Fund

• Safety net for agricultural livestock operations • Potential bankruptcies pose largest risks

• Petroleum Release Compensation Fund a. Created by the 1988 Legislature to financially assist tank owners with the cle:mup cost of

petroleum releases and to meet the federal financial responsibility requirements for regulated underground tank owners

b. Utilized $720,591 of the informational budgetto pay 210 claims at 11 1 sites; includes remoi,.-a1 of 121 abandoned underground petroleum storage tanks

c. FY 20 14 end-of-year balance - $4.03 nullion d. Future ]iabdities to the Fund

• Reimbursement for cleanup of petroleum leaks and spills from tanks • Reimbursement for eligible cases cleaned up with federal LUST Trust funds • Provide training to tank owners to comp]y wiili federa] training rnquiremen1s • Abandotmcl underground petroleum tank removals

Overview of DENR's Budget Request

DENR FY 2016 Budget Request • Status Quo Budget Request

A. UE.NR is requesting NO expansion in FTEs B. DENR is requesting NO expansion in personal senrices C. DE.NR is requesting ~O expansion in operating expenses D. DENR wiU continue to use its exis ting resources to get the job done

DENRGOALS

1. Protect public health and the environment,

2. Maintain a business-friendly climate, and

3. Treat everyone as our customer.

Including federal grant commitments DENR uses hundreds of measures to see if it is getting the job done; the number of Performance Indicators in the Budget Book are:

• 40 for the Division of Technical and Financial Assistance, • 240 for the Dh ision of Em,;ronmental Services, and • 14 for the Petroleum Release Compensation Program.

Looming Air Quality Issues that could impact

South Dakota's Full Attainment Status

1. EPA's Proposed 111(b) Rules

• EPA's plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions from NEW power plants.

* EPA's carbon dioxide limit for coal-fired plants - 1,100 pounds per megawatt-hour

* EPA's carbon dioxide limit for natural-gas fi red plants - 1,000 pounds per megawatt -hour for larger units

• Result will be no new coal-fired plants built as the technology to meet the llimits for new coal-fi red plants is not commercially available.

2. EPA's Proposed 111(d) Rules

• EPA's plan to cut carbon dioxide emissions from EXISTING power plants

• South Dakota has only one coal-fired power plant (Big Stone near Milbank) and one natural gas combined cyc le plant (Deer Creek near Brookings)

* About 74 percent of our electrical production in 2012 was renewable (50 percent hydropower and 24 percent wind) making us a leader in low carbon emissions with only three states emitt:ing less ca rbon dioxide than South Dakota.

* Result will be EPA's standard fo r SD of only 741 pounds per megawatt-hour is not possible with out shutting down the Big Stone plant and stranding $384 million of pollution contro ls currently under construction to meet EPA's Regional Haze ru le.

* HB 1203 jeopardizes our potential litigation against EPA

3. EPA's Proposed Ozone Rules

• As indicated by graphs on preceding page, South Dakota 's air meets ALL federal ambient air quality standards, but EPA recently proposed to lower the air quality standard for ozone from the current level of 0.075 parts per mill ion to betvveen 0.060 and 0.070.

• DENR monitors ozone at six sites throughout the state; the graph below shows ozone concentrations at all six sites are GREATER than 0.060 parts per mill ion.

• If South Dakota does not meet th e new lower ozone standard, EPA wil l impose contro l measures at a signi·ficant cost that will result in no environmental benefit.

/)j"":':',.:.:(t::::::;"' Background Behind Big Sioux Water Quality

o Watershed

- 5,382 square miles in South Dakota

- 3,000 square miles in Minnesota and Iowa

c, Monitoring

- 19 DENR water qual ity monitori ng stations

- 23 USGS flow gauging stations

- 37 lakes

o Water quality impairments

- Too many bacteria (fecal coliform & E. Coli) impair recreational use

- Too much sediment (Total Suspended Sol ids) impairs fishery use

- Too many nutrients (nitrogen & phosphorus) in lakes promote algae

growth which impairs fishery and recreational use 11

Big Sioux Basin Best Management Practices

Implementation

Four projects support improvements to water quality within lhe Sig Sioux River &Jsin. The NE Glacial kes project seeks lo improve and preserve U1e water quality of natural lakes in the northeast r gion. Other projects Include Improvements to 11\e popula r La e Poinsett Area and the Cenlral and Upper Big Sioux. Major impairments in 11\e r ·on include exceedances for sediment and bacleria rn slreem5, chlorophyll and pH impairments in lakes.

Summary of Water Quatity

of the Big Sioux River

1. In spite of increased development, population, and agricultural production

throughout the basin , water quality in the Big Sioux River during the last 35 years

has generally improved , but progress is slow, intermittent, and dependent on

precipitation and river flows;

2. Reducing pollution from both point and nonpoint sources will remain a high priority

as evidenced by the Big Sioux River being recently named as a "High Impact" project by the US Department of Ag ricu lture; and

3. DENR will continue to provide resources as available to local sponsors to continue making more water quality improvement projects a reality.

Meanwhile, DENR will continue to manage growing workloads. Examples of growing workloads are:

DENR's 37 FoxPro Databases

Conversion Project

DENR uses technology to boost productivity, efficiency, effectiveness, communication, and services to our customers.

• DENR has kept up with increased workloads largely by DENR staff building, maintaining; and using 37 FoxPro databases to manage work, track records , and provide automated customer services.

• However, Microsoft has announced no FoxPro support after 20 15.

• DENR has committed $16,020 per month or $192,240 per year from our existing budget to BIT to convert the FoxPrn databases over a period of years and include Geographic Information Syslem (GIS) applications to provide on-l ine acc ess to our customers.

• BIT's current status is below; additional resources in SB 55 will be used to accelerate remaining conversions. Data.base rvame/Des.cripaon
