Drinking Water SRF Tribal Set-Aside Program
|
EPA sets aside 1.5 percent of the total Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) allocation for infrastructure improvements to public drinking water systems that serve tribes. The funds are allotted among the EPA regional offices. The regional offices then identify potential projects and make awards based on a priority setting process that each region has developed for its own program. Eligible projects include installation and upgrade of treatment, storage, or distribution systems, as well as projects to develop sources (excluding reservoirs, dams, dam rehabilitation and water rights) or replace contaminated sources. Projects must address an existing drinking water quality problem and identify how the proposed project will improve the quality of drinking water to comply with Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) primary or secondary standards. |
