Webcast to discuss Clean Water Act State Revolving Fund

WASHINGTON, DC, July 7, 2008 -- EPA's Watershed Academy sponsors free monthly Webcasts for watershed practitioners from around the globe. On Wednesday, July 16th, 2008, Stephanie VonFeck from EPA's State Revolving Fund Branch and Patti Cale-Finnegan from Iowa's Department of Natural Resources will discuss the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, a large, flexible, and largely untapped source of funding for watershed projects. It provides over $5 billion each year for traditional stormwater and wastewater projects, as well as over $200 million for nonpoint source projects, such as land conservation, agricultural best management practices, and clean-up of contaminated sites.

Registration opened July 3rd.
