Financing Under the Clean Water Act: The Move from Federal Grants to State Loans

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: The Clean Water Act of 1987 changed dramatically the way that the nation’s $83.5 billion in wastewater treatment needs (to meet population in year 2008) will be financed (U.S. EPA, February 1989). The Construction Grants Program that provided more than $57 billion to local governments for treatment plant construction since 1972 was phased out and replaced by State Revolving Funds (SRFs). SRFs are authorized to provide a range of loan assistance to local governments for wastewater treatment plant construction, estuary protection, and non-point source pollution projects.
