The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) a $21,521,500 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.458) formula grant. The purpose of this 2-year grant, which begins on September 1, 2023, is to capitalize LDEQ's CWSRF program. This will enable LDEQ to provide low-interest loans to numerous sub-recipients, such as communities and wastewater utilities in Louisiana, to fund the planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects. The grant aims to establish and manage an effective CWSRF program and maintain a self-sustaining revolving fund to improve and protect water quality and public health for citizens throughout the state.
