CONSTRUCTION GRANTS TRACKING
Description:
Resource Purpose:During the 1970s and 1980s, the Construction Grants program was a major source of Federal funds, providing more than $60 billion for the construction of public wastewater treatment projects. These projects, which constituted a significant contribution to the nation's water infrastructure, included sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, collections and intercept sewers, rehabilitation of sewage systems, and the control of combined sewer overflows. With the 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act, Congress established 1990 as the last year the Construction Grants would be appropriated. The Construction Grants program is now in closeout stage. The Construction Grants component in the Grants Information and Control System (GICS) provides automated entry, updating, and retrieval of Construction Grants Data. The system tracks administrative data, significant milestone dates in the construction of sewer treatment facilities, and closeout information. The data provided here is a subset of the Construction Grants data in GICS. Once a Construction Grant has been awarded, the grant may be amended to modify certain provisions of the grant. Most amendments are to make changes to financial data fields. A running total, referred to as a "cumulative" value, of each financial field is kept in the Construction Grant record. This cumulative value gives the current value of the Construction Grant's financial field, as changed by any awarded amendments.
