This $6,967,200.00 capitalization grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.458) program provides funds to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection to capitalize its Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program. The CWSRF program will then provide low-interest financing to numerous sub-recipients for the planning, design, and construction of eligible water quality improvement and protection projects throughout the state of Maine. The expected outcomes of this multi-year grant award, effective from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2030, are to establish and manage an effective comprehensive CWSRF program and to maintain a self-sustaining revolving fund that will improve and protect water quality and public health for citizens across Maine.
