Intended Use Plans

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.

FFY2025 / SFY2026 Funding Cycle:

Priority List Applications will be posted 12/16/2024 to be due 2/14/2025.

Draft IUPs including Project Priority Lists will be posted in spring 2025.

A public comment period will open, and a public hearing meeting will follow in the middle of that period (in person and remote via Teams).

Once the IUP is adopted in summer 2025, its terms apply to new loan applications.

FFY2024 / SFY2025 Funding Cycle:

Planning/design loan applications are processed under this IUP until the next is adopted in summer 2025.

Construction loans applications on this cycle are open for projects in the fundable range through June 2025 or until the next IUP is adopted in summer 2025. See Applications and Forms site for loan application forms and submission links.
