The bill allocates $1.46 billion to EPA's Clean Water State
Revolving Fund (SRF) in F.Y. 2012, a slight reduction from the $1.5
billion funding level in 2011. The Drinking Water SRF program was
funded at $919 million, very close to F.Y. 2011 levels. The bill
includes a 10% set-aside for "green infrastructure" wastewater
projects, as well as funding for various Corps of Engineers Civil
Works programs and clean-up programs under the Department of
Energy.
Based upon the EPA data, the Clean Water State Revolving Funds
should be sufficient to fund approximately 473 new wastewater
projects nationwide and more than 81,000 jobs when combined with
state matching funds. The amount provided for the Drinking Water
State Revolving Funds program will fund approximately 353 new
drinking water projects nationwide and more than 50,000 jobs when
combined with state matching funds.
The bill provides $1.1 billion for Categorical Grants with $165
million allocated for non-point source (Sec. 319) grants.
The House of Representatives passed the bill 296-121 on Friday.
The Senate passed the bill 67-32 on Saturday. President Obama is
expected to sign the budget into law this week.
