The State Revolving Funds Loan Cycle
The Trust and MassDEP work in tandem to administer the Clean Water (“CW”) and Drinking Water (“DW”) SRFs. The Trust manages the flow of funds to borrowers, while MassDEP manages the development and oversight of projects.
Annual Intended Use Plan (IUP)
•CW & DW IUPs outline projects selected to receive funding in the upcoming year
•MassDEP selects projects based on ranking criteria
Application Review, Project
Approval, Interim Loan Execution
•Communities work with MassDEP and the Trust to submit necessary documents
• Interim loan is closed; community can receive loan proceeds on a reimbursement basis throughout the construction cycle
Construction and Interim Financing
•Construction financing is currently offered at 0% interest rate with no fees
•No repayments due until permanent financing
Permanent Financing and
Bond Deal
•Trust issues SRF bonds annually
•Loans are generally put in repayment status and included in a bond deal when half or more of the loan proceeds have been drawn and project is expected to be completed within a year
•Bond proceeds are used to repay the interim loans and replenish the Trust’s funds

• Borrowers are subject to thorough diligence on the project(s) being financed and the security for repayment
• Ongoing project and financial oversight from MassDEP and the Trust contribute to the continued strength and performance of the loan portfolio
Loan Portfolio: Selection and Surveillance Procedures
Ongoing Loan SurveillanceProject Selection Project Development/Oversight
No loans pledged to the Trust’s bonds have ever defaulted
• Loan payments are due semi-annually, 15 days before each Trust bond debt service payment date
• Borrowers whose loans comprise more than 20% of the portfolio are considered ‘obligated persons’ and agree to certain continuing disclosure requirements under Rule 15c2-121
• The Trust has repeat borrowers, especially the larger borrowers in the program, and is in regular contact with those borrowers
• Prior to each bond financing, the Trust reviews all borrowers’ credit ratings
MassDEP evaluates projects using a rigorous selection process
• Financing applications are submitted annually and include general recipient information; financial information; terms of the financial assistance required; and demographic/system information, if applicable
• MassDEP engineers review detailed project specifications and rank projects using criteria that measure the severity of the environmental problem, the sensitivity of the environmental hazard, the public health risk, and the appropriateness of the proposed solution
• MassDEP completes separate IUPs annually for the Clean Water and Drinking Water SRFs (“CWSRF” and “DWSRF”, respectively), which are filed with EPA and establish the list of projects eligible for Trust financing in a given year
On an ongoing basis, MassDEP manages project development and oversight while the
Trust manages the flow of funds
• MassDEP and the borrower enter into a project regulatory agreement (“PRA”) for an approved project which outlines the disbursement schedule, procedures for approval and payment of requisitions, and a set of conditions related to borrower compliance with certain regulations established by MassDEP, the Commonwealth and the federal government
• MassDEP conducts site inspections and other related oversight activities to ensure the project has been constructed in accordance with previously approved plans and specifications

1As of the issuance of the Bonds, no Borrower will meet such requirement. However, the principal amount outstanding with respect to the MWRA exceeded the threshold for several years prior to fiscal 2025 and will be 16.0% after the issuance of the Bonds. Therefore, notwithstanding MWRA is not an obligated person, MWRA is voluntarily providing such information.
