What information are recipients required to provide to ecology?
(1) For each appropriation, recipients must provide the following information:
(a) What is the appropriation title?
(b) What is the purpose of the appropriation?
(c) What is the geographic location of the appropriation (if not reported under subsection (2) of this section)? If the appropriation is spent directly by the recipient in multiple locations, provide each location and the amount spent at each location.
(d) How much total funding did the legislature provide from CCA accounts for this appropriation?
(e) From which CCA account(s) was the funding appropriated?
(f) How much of the appropriation was expended?
(g) How much and what percent of the expenditure provides or provided direct and meaningful benefits, as defined in WAC 173-446B-020, to vulnerable populations within the boundaries of an overburdened community?
(i) What benefits are or were provided and how did the expenditure provide those benefits?
(ii) Which overburdened community is or was impacted by the expenditure?
(iii) How were members of vulnerable populations within the overburdened community involved in determining and measuring the benefits provided?
(iv) Provide any relevant and available qualitative information collected through engagement with vulnerable populations within the overburdened community.
(h) Was the expenditure formally supported by a tribal resolution? If so, which tribe or tribes formally supported the expenditure by resolution?
(i) For expenditures that do not provide direct and meaningful benefits to vulnerable populations in overburdened communities, and are not formally supported by a tribal resolution, explain why.
(j) Is this expenditure expected to produce any verifiable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or other long-term impact to emissions, as described in WAC 173-446B-040?
(i) If so, what is the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent) projected to be reduced by the expenditure?
(ii) If so, what is the estimated cost per carbon dioxide equivalent metric ton of greenhouse gas reduced?
(iii) For expenditures not reporting on any verifiable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or other long-term impact to emissions, indicate which category, if any, in WAC 173-446B-040(2) describes this expenditure.
(2) Recipients that pass funding through to a subrecipient must also provide the following information for each funding agreement including, but not limited to, grants, contracts, loans, or interagency agreements:
(a) What appropriation title is the funding agreement funded by?
(b) What is the purpose of the funding agreement?
(c) What is the geographic location impacted by the funding agreement?
(d) How much of the appropriation's funding is allocated to this funding agreement?
(e) How much of the appropriation has been expended through the funding agreement?
(f) What is the name of the subrecipient?
(g) How much and what percent of the funding agreement provides or provided direct and meaningful benefits, as defined in WAC 173-446B-020, to vulnerable populations within the boundaries of an overburdened community?
(i) What benefits are or were provided and how did the funding agreement provide those benefits?
(ii) Which overburdened community is or was impacted by the funding agreement?
(iii) How were members of vulnerable populations within the overburdened community involved in determining and measuring the benefits provided?
(iv) Provide any relevant and available qualitative information collected through engagement with vulnerable populations within the overburdened community.
(h) Was this funding agreement formally supported by a tribal resolution? If so, which tribe or tribes supported the funding agreement by resolution?
(i) For funding agreements that do not provide direct and meaningful benefits to vulnerable populations in overburdened communities, and are not formally supported by a tribal resolution, explain why.
(j) Is this funding agreement expected to produce any verifiable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or other long-term impact to emissions, as described in WAC 173-446B-040?
(i) If so, what is the quantity of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent) projected to be reduced by the funding agreement?
(ii) If so, what is the estimated cost per carbon dioxide equivalent metric ton of greenhouse gas reduced?
(iii) For funding agreements not reporting on any verifiable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or other long-term impact to emissions, indicate which category, if any, in WAC 173-446B-040(2) describes this expenditure.
(3) Recipients reporting on funding agreements or other expenditures that provide direct and meaningful benefits to vulnerable populations within the boundaries of overburdened communities must provide the following additional information:
(a) Describe the process(es) and/or method(s) (including data sources, mapping tools, and/or community consultation) by which the recipient identified overburdened communities and vulnerable populations.
(b) Explain the outcomes of the identification process(es) described in (a) of this subsection.
(c) Provide the geographic boundaries of overburdened communities and characteristics of vulnerable populations the recipient identified.
(4) If a recipient conducts ongoing tracking or monitoring for an expenditure included in prior annual reports, such as receiving periodic status reports, the recipient shall provide a summary of this information to ecology in each subsequent annual report until such tracking or monitoring ends. This summary may also include:
(a) An explanation of whether the expenditure has been implemented as planned.
(b) Any changes to previously reported reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.
(c) Any changes to previously reported direct and meaningful benefits to vulnerable populations in overburdened communities.
(5) Recipients may provide any available information related to the quantity and quality of jobs, apprenticeships, and/or internships created, if any, as a result of their expenditure(s).
(6) If the recipient or a subrecipient is a tribe, this rule does not require the recipient to provide ecology with data that the tribe deems to be culturally sensitive information, confidential proprietary information, or intellectual property.
