33 during the period July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005, unless specifically

45 Task Force on the remediation progress and the expenditures involved.

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.

5 Code, the Department of Environmental Quality shall not transfer fiscal year
6 2005 legislative appropriations out of the Air Quality Program to any other

The “Ongoing Base Reduction” reduces General Fund support for operating expenditures in the Administration and Support Program. Although General Fund support for Administration and Support falls from $2,608,500 in FY 2004 to $2,301,300 in FY 2005, the total General Fund appropriation for the Department remains the same as the FY 2004 appropriation of $15,146,000 due to increases in other programs.
