“The coalfield water development fund received an interest free loan of 10,000,000 from the virginia water supply revolving fund, acting by and through the virginia resources authority (vra), a public body corporate and political subdivision of the commonwealth of virginia. The loan proceeds were invested and are held in trust for the benefit of the va water supply revolving fund. The loans are secured and collateralized by the investment account. All earnings are to be used to extend grants to assist in the financing of new drinking water facilities in the coalfield region of virginia. The virginia water supply fund allows use of the investment earnings each year by the coalfield water development fund. The coalfield water development fund makes grants from investment earnings in accordance with guidelines of the va water supply revolving fund. Failure to make grants in accordance with state guidelines will cause the coalfield water development fund to default on the loan and the investments will revert back to the virginia water supply revolving fund as part of the collateralized security agreement. The investment earnings ae deemed to be an annual revolving grant form the virginia water supply revolving fund.
