Using SRF to Promote Green Infrastructure

The CWSRF has provided $69 billion low interest loans to communities, individuals, nonprofit organizations and businesses for wastewater treatment, storm water, land conservation, agricultural BMPs, cleanup of contaminated sites, septic tank upgrades and hydromodification projects. With the passage of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 and the Fiscal Year 2010 Federal Budget for EPA, there is an increased focus on green infrastructure, energy efficiency and water efficiency projects with approximately $700 million available to communities specifically for green projects this year. Attend this workshop and find out how to access and influence this low cost funding to implement your watershed priorities .
