What is EPA going to do to ensure that states fund green projects?
The Act requires states to target not less than 20% of their funds to green projects, to the extent that there are eligible project applications. Before they can redirect these funds to traditional projects, a state must certify to EPA that they lack sufficient eligible applications. States will need to demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to solicit projects and allowed time for applications to be submitted and considered. To facilitate solicitation, EPA is allowing states to have additional time before finalizing the section of their Intended Use Plan that describes the green projects.
