224A.020 Legislative finding as to infrastructure projects.

The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky finds as a fact that the

polluting and befouling of the waters of the state has harmed, and is presently harming

and injuring, the state's abundant water resources, and, if unabated, will continue to harm

such state water resources, and will endanger the health, safety, welfare and well-being of

the general public, and the ability of the state to provide essential governmental services

for the benefit of the public, and that such situation, if allowed to continue unchecked,

will destroy the natural chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the waters of the

state. Further, the conservation, development and proper use of the water resources of the

state are of vital importance as a result of population expansion and concentration,

industrial growth and technological advances. It is hereby found and determined to be

essential to the preservation of the natural water resources, economic potential, and

general well-being of the state that, to the maximum and greatest extent possible, the state

should and must actively engage in a program of assistance to governmental agencies

whereby infrastructure projects may be more economically provided so as to better serve

the general public of the state.
