Green Reserve in the Stimulus

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, EPA received $4 billion for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.  All States are required to allocate 20 percent of their SRF funds for projects that use green infrastructure.  According to EPA, 14 states have already awarded 20 percent or more of their Recovery Act funds for green infrastructure.  The remaining 36 states must fullfill this requirement by February 17, 2010, which EPA anticipates they will do.
