Each year the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) publish Intended Use Plans (IUPs) that explain how the SRF funding capitalization grants provided by the federal government will be used to support the programs. The IUP Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) number reflects when federal funds were appropriated, so it lags behind the current FFY. Each IUP identifies program decisions to meet requirements set by Congress in each year's capitalization grants and to address state programmatic priorities. IUPs address critical program details including discussions of Project Priority Lists; subsidy including loan forgiveness and loan terms; DWSRF Set-Asides; and CWSRF Green Project Reserve.
Public comments on draft IUPs are accepted at a public hearing and by contacting Padraic Monks, the SRF Program Manager: padraic.monks@vermont.gov or 802-490-6169. If you speak a language other than English, we offer free language assistance services. Please call DEC at 802-636-7266.
