Recovery Act: Clean Water Projects Are Underway, but Procedures May Not Be in Place to Ensure Adequate Oversight
The Amer. Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) included $4 billion for the EPA Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF). This testimony addresses: (1) state efforts to meet requirements associated with the Recovery Act and SRF program; (2) the uses of Recovery Act funds; and (3) EPA's and states' efforts to oversee the use of these funds. This review focused on 14 states and selected localities -- known as sub-recipients -- in each of these states. These 14 states received approx. 50% of the total appropriated under the Recovery Act for the Clean Water SRF. Data included the amounts and types of financial assistance each SRF program provided, and which sub-recipients were first-time recipients of Clean Water SRF funding.
