SRFs Up Annual Newsletter 2019

In recent years, SRFs have undertaken a variety of marketing and outreach efforts. This issue highlights several of these state activities and celebrates the success of these efforts. It answers questions such as “are flood control projects eligible for CWSRF assistance” or how can the CWSRF support water quality trading”. It discusses the five innovative financing mechanisms available to the CWSRFs: programmatic financing, portfolio financing, extended term financing, sponsorship financing, and co-financing. It also includes overviews of case studies such as Oklahoma’s marketing survey focus groups, and Kansas’ no-till cover crop agriculture NPS program. Further summarized are the 13 exceptional projects from 2019 under the CWSRF’s (PISCES) Performance and Innovation in the SRF Creating Environmental Success program. These are recognized projects that have demonstrated excellence in promoting EPA’s mission of protecting human health and the environment.
