The primary deliverables under this grant include financing, planning, design, and construction of wastewater treatment facilities, stormwater management systems, and other water quality protection infrastructure. The recipient administers these funds as a revolving loan program, deploying capital to municipalities, utilities, and local government entities for water infrastructure activities.

The self-sustaining revolving fund structure enables repayment proceeds to support continued financing availability for future water quality projects.
