 32    and fifty-five hundredths (369.55) full-time equivalent positions at any point
 33    during the period July 1, 2003, through June  30,  2004,  unless  specifically

 36        SECTION 3.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 39-3630, Idaho Code,
 37    the  State  Controller  is hereby directed to transfer $520,000 from the Water
 38    Pollution Control Fund to the Environmental Remediation Fund  for  the  period
 39    July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004.
                                                                        
 40        SECTION  4.  It is legislative intent that moneys deposited into the Envi-
 41    ronmental Remediation Fund are to be used solely for Bunker  Hill  remediation
 42    within  the  site  and that in accordance with the Bunker Hill Remedial Action
 43    Management Plan, an annual report shall be filed no later than  January  1  of
 44    each  year  with  the Governor, the Legislature, and the Bunker Hill Superfund
 45    Task Force on the remediation progress and the expenditures involved.
                                                                        
 46        SECTION 5.  It is legislative intent that the appropriation of moneys from
 47    the Water Pollution Control Fund in Section 1 of this act specifically  super-
 48    sedes  the  provisions  of Section 39-3630, Idaho Code. It is further provided
 49    that $1,000,000 of such moneys are to be used solely for projects in the Coeur
 50    d'Alene River Basin in such a manner so as to count  toward  the  ten  percent

  1    (10%) state match required for work done at the Bunker Hill superfund site. It
  2    is  recognized  that  design is a necessary expense to these projects and that
  3    design costs are not eligible for match under the superfund law.
                                                                        
  4        SECTION 6.  The Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee was unable to shift
  5    $300,000 from the Air Quality Permitting Fund to the General Fund. It is  leg-

  7    allowable Title V air quality monitoring activities with Air  Quality  Permit-

  9        SECTION  7.  In  the  early  1990's  a  group of community members donated

 11    deposited  to  the  Department of Environmental Quality Receipts Fund and used

 13    Quality's  Advisory  Committee.  It  is legislative intent that the Department
