Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that $150 billion will be needed during the next 20 years to repair, replace, and upgrade the nation's 55,000 community water systems. Congress established the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program in 1996 to help communities finance the infrastructure projects needed to comply with federal drinking water regulations. EPA has developed a survey to collect data on the nature and cost of infrastructure improvements needed at local water systems. EPA has taken several steps to validate the data included in its $150 billion estimate, including visits to selected sites. However the agency has yet to calculate and report on the estimate's precision. GAO found that EPA is not taking full advantage of oversight tools to monitor states' implementation of the DWSRF. First, EPA is developing financial management and other measures to monitor state progress and support agency's review of state programs. Until these draft measures are finalized and applied consistently, their usefulness as an oversight tool will be limited. Second, the untimely and inconsistent preparation of program evaluation report reviews--one of EPA's primary oversight tools--has hampered the agency's ability to identify common or recurring problems. Third, gaps in the financial audit coverage and a limited review of the completed audits undermine EPA's ability to fully assess the financial conditions of the state's DWSRF programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the size and significance of the DWSRF program, the 1996 amendments and EPA's implementing regulations include provisions to develop tools, such as information systems, performance reviews, and financial audits, to help EPA monitor the states implementation of the DWSRF program and evaluate program effectiveness. For example, when EPA promulgated its DWSRF regulations, it established a national information management system (NIMS) to better assess the DWSRF program, monitor state progress, and provide assistance in the agency's annual reviews of state programs. EPA also set up a process whereby its regional offices annually assess key aspects of state DWSRF programs: achievement of state program goals and objectives;compliance with grant agreements and applicable statutory provisions, such as funding priorities; and the program's financial status. To determine the adequacy of the financial controls in the DWSRF program, EPA's regulations provide that states may voluntarily agree to conduct annual independent audits that cover the financial statements, internal controls, and compliance with applicable requirements. States that do not conduct their own audits are subject to periodic audits by the EPA Office of Inspector General (OIG).
Download or read book The Role of State Revolving Funds in Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure written by Cecil Jones and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that more than $680 billion is needed to repair and replace water and wastewater infrastructure nationwide over the next 20 years. Under the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act, the federal government contributes some funding to states through EPA's Clean Water and Drinking Water state revolving funds (SRF) programs. States use this funding to make low-or no-interest loans to communities to build water and wastewater infrastructure, in addition to other assistance. These loans are repaid with interest, and these funds are then used for future loans. This book examines factors that affect selected states' abilities to sustain their SRF funds; selected states' actions to enhance their SRF funds and views about sustaining the funds; and steps that EPA takes to review states' abilities to sustain their SRF funds as part of its oversight.
