Explanation:
(This amendment provides $6.0 million the first year from the general fund and $9.0 million the first year from the reserve fund established within the Water Quality Improvement Fund and $15.0 million the second year as provided in the revenue reserve fund contained in Item 473.1 of this Appropriation Act for deposit into the Virginia Natural Resources Commitment Fund, established pursuant to House Bill 1335 of the 2008 Session of the General Assembly, to implement agricultural best management practices across Virginia. The reserve fund within the Water Quality Improvement Fund, which was established by the 2004 Session of the General Assembly, was designed for use when there were no year-end general fund surpluses available for deposit into the Water Quality Improvement Fund. Given that nonpoint source pollution control strategies are supported solely from any surpluses deposited to the Water Quality Improvement Fund, the reserve fund was implemented to protect against the elimination of those services.)
