WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING

More than 60% of the funds were directed to projects related to secondary or advanced wastewater treatment. The program agreed to 32 projects, 5 of which addresses multiple categories. The data shows the significant level of effort accomplished by the program during FY 2012-13, compared to FY 11-12, the CWSRF program funded 16 fewer projects with a reduction of 65% in funding resources.

WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT

The Division of Financial Assistance (DFA) administers the implementation of the State Water Resources Control Board's (State Water Board) financial assistance programs, that include loan and grant funding for construcion 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 and approving tracking the use of funds. It is also important that the funds available each year are use in the most efficient and effective way. The financing activity of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund can be seen in the following graph.
