Conditions25

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant restriction
The Fund will not contract with entities that fail environmental-fee/penalty obligations or have due Fund liabilities subject to collection proceedings.
Applicant restriction
The Fund conditions loan approval and amount on the applicant’s creditworthiness and appropriate legal security for repayment.

The appropriate security is determined in the loan decision/contract; no fixed security ratio is stated here.

Applicant typeExact OW1.7 route page.
The route page tags local-government units and enterprises. The operative description says an eligible applicant is the direct investor with legal title to dispose of the property. The page does not define every entity/title combination.

The two page tags are not by themselves a full eligibility rule.

Application restriction
The May 2026 C2 financial form for entrepreneurs and other organisational units requests loan drawdown, repayment and security proposals; a description of business activity, existing loans/credits, guarantees and other off-balance-sheet obligations; a financial forecast; and the applicable financial statements and related supporting documents.

The form is specifically labelled for entrepreneurs and other organisational units, not every possible local-government applicant. Supporting requirements vary by accounting method and circumstances; the form says additional information may be requested at any stage.

Application restriction
The route links sewer and wastewater-treatment application archives. Paper submissions must not be stapled, bound, or placed in sleeves/folders/binders; the route page also permits electronic delivery through e-Doręczenia.

The archives include older and current form revisions; use the applicable current form and annex versions at submission time.

Application restrictionGeneral rules effective 1 May 2026.
Fund-funded expenditure considered at settlement must be incurred after the application date and supported by invoices and related proof of payment.

The route page does not specify a project-specific eligible-cost end date; this general rule covers post-application documentation, subject to the contract and any more specific future rules.

Application restrictionExact call pl_wfosigw_katowice:95428, OW1.7.
The exact OW1.7 page describes continuous intake and the timestamped local source row lists it open. The page publishes no start date, deadline or remaining balance.

The open status comes from the timestamped local source row, not a live balance check.

Application restriction
For the C2 loan form’s stated supporting documents, selected public-debt certificates and bank/lender opinions must be no older than three months; the form states exceptions for low-risk regular Fund clients and for specified liquid security forms.

This is the linked application form’s documentation checklist, not a blanket applicant eligibility exclusion. The exact required documents depend on the applicant and proposed security.

Application restrictionThe shared plant application archive linked by the exact OW 1.7 page also contains this OW 1.6 attachment-list member; this fact describes the OW 1.6 list, not OW 1.7-specific eligibility.
The route-linked 2025 attachment list asks for current legal-status documents; site plan and treatment-plant process diagram; construction, water-law, sludge-management and environmental decisions where required; disclosure of other domestic/foreign funding applications; financing-balance evidence; relevant permits/agreements; property-title and five-year use assurance or landlord consent/assurance; a financial/physical schedule; and current application A, B2, C1 or C2. It also lists route-specific technical and economic analyses. The list says additional documents may be requested during negotiations.

This is the route-linked archive’s 2025 attachment list; it requires use of current forms and includes conditional permits. Applicability is project- and applicant-specific; recheck the current form before submission.

Application restrictionOW1.7 route-linked plant archive, attachment-list member.
The route-linked 2025 plant attachment list asks for current legal-status documents; site plan and process diagram for treatment/sludge facilities; required construction, water-law, sludge-management and environmental decisions; information on other national/foreign financing; financial-balance evidence; any required permits and agglomeration designation; property-title and five-year use assurance or lease/use agreement and owner consent with five-year assurance; a project schedule; and current application A, B2, C1 or C2. It identifies technical and economic worksheets specific to sludge facilities. Further materials may be requested during negotiation.

This is the route-linked 2025 attachment-list version. The list instructs applicants to use currently applicable forms; applicability of conditional permits depends on the project.

Eligible project scopeExact OW1.7 route page.
OW1.7 covers construction and modernization of sludge-management facilities for processing sewage sludge from municipal wastewater treatment. The route page does not state a minimum or maximum dry-matter throughput or a different process threshold.

The project must fit the specific municipal-wastewater sludge-processing description; no capacity threshold is inferred.

Eligible project scopeExact route-linked 2026 effects table, OW1.7 sludge-facilities row.
The 2026 effects schedule identifies OW1.7 physical outputs including a sludge-processing installation/device and its processing capacity in Mg dry matter/year, and a device reducing processed sludge quantity through reduced water content and/or mineralization. Ecological effects include quantities of dry sludge processed: thermal mineralization, drying, or conversion into a legally compliant product for specified uses. The form asks for final acceptance and permitting/operating evidence, and documentation of at least the contracted sludge amount received for treatment and processed products/by-products sold or received.

The schedule records effect measures with blank project-specific capacities/quantities; it provides no universal minimum throughput or award amount. They are to be set in the project agreement.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §§3.1 and 3.3.1–3.3.3; conditional general loan rules, not a route-specific promise.
A borrower may request partial remission only where the loan was not reimbursed from public funds, including EU funds, and all stated conditions are met together: the loan-funded task was completed and settled within the contractual period; planned ecological and material effects were achieved by contractual deadlines; the project durability period expired; at least 50% of the amount used was repaid on time (early repayment does not qualify to request remission); and the borrower met statutory fees and penalties and its obligations to the Fund. The Fund’s decision is discretionary, made by the competent Fund body, and cannot exceed the borrower’s actual outstanding obligations under that loan on the application date. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(a); conditional only if this route results in a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.
If partial remission is approved under Table 3 §3.2.1(a), it may be up to 10% of the loan amount used, capped at PLN 0.2 million; this option does not require the remitted amount to be spent on a new ecological task. This is an alternative general remission rule, not a route-specific entitlement. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Conditional general rule only if this application receives a remissible loan and Fund approval; no universal OW1.7 forgiveness entitlement is established.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(b); conditional only if this route results in a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission.
Alternatively, if partial remission is approved under Table 3 §3.2.1(b), it may be up to 35% of the loan amount used, capped at PLN 4 million, only if the remitted amount is allocated to a new ecological task consistent with the Environmental Protection Law. The two §3.2.1 alternatives are alternatives, not additive caps. This is a general conditional rule, not a route-specific entitlement. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Conditional general rule only if this application receives a remissible loan and Fund approval; no universal OW1.7 forgiveness entitlement is established.

Other condition
The beneficiary must maintain the investment’s durability for at least five years from its completion and report other-source support to the Fund at every implementation stage.
Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.4; conditional general loan rules.
The General Rules exclude remission for loans granted to carry out a task arising from an administrative order to remove environmental contamination. Applicability to a route project must be assessed from the actual task and order; this does not establish that the route itself is categorically excluded. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Conditional general rule only if this application receives a remissible loan and Fund approval; no universal OW1.7 forgiveness entitlement is established.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.3.5; conditional general loan rules.
Filing a remission request does not suspend current payment obligations under the loan agreement. Under a separate remission agreement, the Fund returns qualifying instalments paid after the request date without interest on returned amounts. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Conditional general rule only if this application receives a remissible loan and Fund approval; no universal OW1.7 forgiveness entitlement is established.

Other conditionCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §§3.2.2–3.2.3; conditional general loan rules, not a route-specific promise.
The approved remission is reduced by any Fund grant used for the same task. The remaining remission is reduced by 15% where an agreement amendment reduces specified ecological effects for sewer connections, asbestos disposal tasks, or municipal low-emission programmes; by 30% where an amendment reduces other planned ecological effects; by 5% each time required disbursement, final settlement, or effect-confirmation documents are submitted more than 30 days late; and by 5% each time a principal instalment is more than 30 days late. These reductions apply to the remission amount after the grant offset. These are general rules for partial remission only if the route’s eventual loan agreement is a remissible loan and the Fund approves remission. The exact route page does not establish that this particular loan will be remissible; no universal route entitlement is asserted.

Conditional general rule only if this application receives a remissible loan and Fund approval; no universal OW1.7 forgiveness entitlement is established.

Other conditionExact route-linked plant application archive inventory and extracted members.
The exact route-linked plant archive includes older 2014 technical/economic worksheets, 2025 application instructions and forms, a 2026 effects table, and a nested C2 financial-form ZIP updated for 2026. The application list says current forms must be used; these archived materials do not establish a current itemized eligible-cost catalogue or employee payroll allowance.

The 2025 application forms and 2026 effects table are separate editions; do not infer cost eligibility or payroll from form fields requesting budgets, employee counts for SME status, or authorised signatures.

Other condition2027 official Katowice priority-list entry for OW1.7.
The official 2027 priority list includes OW1.7 among planned water-protection priorities. It does not establish an award, project amount or remaining budget.

A planned priority is not evidence of a specific available 2027 call budget, per-project allocation, or award.

Other condition
Fund resources are public funds, so beneficiaries must apply public-procurement law to their expenditure; public-aid rules apply where relevant.

The route links a public-aid forms archive, but the exact applicable aid regime depends on the applicant and circumstances; archive presence does not establish that aid applies.

Other conditionExact OW1.7 route page.
The exact OW1.7 page lists a loan as the financing instrument. It does not state whether a particular loan is remissible or non-remissible; current general-rule loan branches and remission remain conditional.

No route-specific grant is asserted. Loan subtype is unknown.

Other condition
The current route links Katowice signage rules: an information board is required only for construction lasting over six months; the commemorative plaque is due within 30 days after the contract-specified task-completion date.

Publicity obligations do not establish eligible publicity costs or staffing.

Staff restrictionExact OW1.7 route page and linked plant archive.
The OW1.7 route page and retained application materials do not establish a funded employee role, hiring commitment, headcount or salary. Staff-related signature or enterprise-size fields do not show payroll eligibility; employee costs remain unknown.

No project staffing or salary is inferred from form and signature fields.

Amounts and costs11
Eligible costGeneral eligible-cost definition; detailed OW 1.7. expenditure line eligibility remains unresolved.
Eligible costs are schedule items necessary to achieve the environmental effect and specified in the relevant schedule-filling instruction; the scope of investment performed using the beneficiary’s own forces is excluded.

The linked product page and retained application archives do not identify a separate, current OW 1.7. cost catalogue/instruction that establishes the exact eligible expenditure lines. No salaries, job titles, staff headcounts or payroll eligibility are inferred from forms or project scope.

Funding intensity, maximumGeneral rules effective 1 May 2026; exact reviewed route: Budowa i modernizacja obiektów gospodarki osadowej. Programme-specific and agreement conditions remain applicable.
100 percent of eligible project costs

Maximum intensity, not a promise of a 100% award or a fixed principal amount. The Fund may offer a different form or amount after its economic analysis.

Grace period, maximumGeneral rules effective 1 May 2026.
18 months after contractual task-completion date

The terms do not apply to bridge loans. Actual contractual dates and repayment schedule are established by the Fund.

Loan interest, minimumGeneral rules effective 1 May 2026, conditional non-remissible loan branch.
1.5 percent per annum minimum

Only if a non-remissible loan is awarded; the exact route page says loan but does not settle subtype. Public-aid cases may change calculation subject to the corresponding floor.

Loan interest, minimumGeneral rules effective 1 May 2026; only if a remissible-loan structure is granted.
3 percent per annum minimum, subject to the stated municipality exception

Only if a remissible loan is awarded; the exact route page does not settle subtype. The 2% floor is restricted to qualifying municipalities/counties in the application year.

Loan partial remission, maximum amountCurrent General Rules Resolution 49/2026, Table 3 §3.2.1(a), the 10% remission alternative; absolute cap paired with the 10% of amount-used share; general and conditional only, not a route-specific entitlement.
