Does EPA anticipate that it might have to take funding away from states?
EPA hopes that it will not have to reallocate funding. Over the past few months, states have been working in anticipation of funding to identify projects that are ready to proceed to construction. Many states have told EPA that it will have funding needs for ready projects that will exceed the amount they will receive from the Recovery Act. States may provide assistance to these projects using funds made available through their existing SRF programs, which together financed close to $8 billion in 2008.
