The Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 awarded the Missouri Department of Natural Resources a $2.592 million Formula Grant under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund program (CFDA 66.458) from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2027. The grant capitalizes Missouri's Clean Water State Revolving Fund to provide low-interest financing to subrecipients for upgrading wastewater treatment facilities, with a primary focus on addressing emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and microplastics. Subrecipients include communities receiving subawards or loans to improve wastewater treatment and protect water quality. The grant will help establish and manage an effective Clean Water State Revolving Fund program in Missouri to sustainably finance water quality improvements and protect public health.
