EPA's CWSRF Program Boosts Green Infrastructure, Discussed in Webcast

The EPA's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program, a significant source of public water quality financing in the US, supports green infrastructure projects. On Wednesday, May 12, 2021, a webcast featuring speakers from EPA Headquarters, PENNVEST, and Capital Region Water in Harrisburg, PA, discussed the program's benefits and recent developments.

The CWSRF program, launched in 2009, has provided nearly $2 billion for green infrastructure projects. These projects aim to manage, reduce, capture, or treat stormwater, making them eligible for funding through the program. The webcast, held between 1:00 and 2:30 PM EDT, brought together representatives from various levels of government and water management agencies to discuss the program's impact and future prospects.

Despite extensive search efforts, the name of the US government representative who participated and spoke at the event remains unknown. The event provided an opportunity to highlight the program's success in promoting green infrastructure and low-cost financing for water quality initiatives at national, state, and local levels.

The CWSRF program continues to play a crucial role in improving water quality across the United States. By providing funding for green infrastructure projects, the program creates incentives for implementation and supports sustainable water management practices. As the program moves forward, it is expected to continue its positive impact on water quality and environmental protection.
