Abstract |
Results of a study of the Construction Grants Program are presented, and recommendations are made for improving the program as a means of reaching national water quality goals. Processing of grant applications and project work is performed smoothly and efficiently, but there is very little coordination between the issuance of construction grants and the implementation of river basin plans, as required by legislation. Detailed recommendations are made relative to processing of applications and projects, planning, financing of construction grant projects, and transfer of new technology into practical application through the Construction Grants Program. |
