The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $5,888,400 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.458) capitalization grant to the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC). The purpose of this 4-year Formula Grant, which commenced on October 1, 2023, is to provide low-interest financing to numerous municipalities in Arkansas for planning, designing, and constructing eligible water quality improvement and protection projects.
The grant supports ANRC's administration of the Arkansas Clean Water State Revolving Fund program, through which ANRC will award loans and subsidies, including principal forgiveness, to municipalities for direct water infrastructure projects. This funding enables Arkansas to establish a long-term, sustainable source of state-level financing for wastewater treatment facilities and other water quality management initiatives across the state.
