WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15, the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Program committed over $789 million in funding to 40 new projects (of which six funding agreements constituted more than one one project funding category). Approximately 55 percent of FY 14-15 CWSRF funds were directed to projects related to secondary or advanced wastewater treatment.
WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT
The Division of Financial Assistance (DFA) administers the implementation of the Water Boards' financial assistance programs, that include loan and grant funding for planning and construction of municipal sewage and water recycling facilities, remediation for underground storage tank releases, watershed protection projects, nonpoint source pollution control projects, etc. DFA also administers the Water Recycling Program and the Operator Certification Program. The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) provides states the opportunity to establish a CWSRF Program to help each state achieve the goal of clean water. The CWSRF is capitalized with federal and state funds. The CWSRF provides affordable financing for 1) construction of publicly owned treatment works (POTW), 2) elimination of non-point sources (NPS) of pollution, and 3) development and implementation of plans to protect important estuaries. Funding of water quality protection projects is an strategic activity conducted by the Water Boards that requires a significant amount of work in terms of processing applications, establishing priorities, approving, and tracking the use of funds. It is also important that the funds available each year are used as efficiently and effectively as possible. The financing activity of the CWSRF can be seen in the graph below.

GLOSSARY
- American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)
- The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, abbreviated ARRA (Pub.L. 111-5) and commonly referred to as the Stimulus or The Recovery Act, is an economic stimulus package enacted by the 111th United States Congress in February 2009. The Act followed other economic recovery legislation passed in the final year of the Bush presidency including the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 and the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which created the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP).. The measures are nominally worth $787 billion. Go to the Water Boards ARRA program web site for more information.
