Overview

Kentucky State Clearinghouse
Intergovernmental Review Process

The Kentucky State Clearinghouse has been designated as the state Single Point of Contact (SPOC) and is charged with providing state and local input to the appropriate federal agency.  At the state level this task is accomplished by identifying those state agencies that should be involved in the planning and development of activities by Executive Order 12372, and providing these agencies with the opportunity to evaluate proposals in a timely, effective fashion.

The Kentucky State Clearinghouse has implemented an online software application that provides an electronic form for collecting data for all water and wastewater projects in Kentucky. 
 
The “Clearinghouse portal” allows Clearinghouse and review agency staff  to assign application reviews, view application status, endorse applications, and read other agencies’ comments.  The software provides notification to funding agencies and allows funding agencies to enter final funding decisions.
 
The implementation of the E-Clearinghouse portal and the water/wastewater project electronic form will serve as a prototype for other agencies to follow as they move toward web-based automation.  It is the intention of the Kentucky State Clearinghouse that subsequent phases of the system will include other agencies’ projects in electronic format.  
 
 
If you have a water or wastewater proposal, please go to the KY e-Clearinghouse to submit your application electronically.  To become a user, please go to the e-clearinghouse web site.
