Lake Pontchartrain Restoration Program
66.125
N/A
The purpose of the Clean Water Act Section 121 (33 U.S.C. 1273) Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program (PRP) is to restore the ecological health of the Basin by developing and funding restoration projects and related scientific and public education projects. EPA will invest PRP funds to maintain, protect and restore the water quality of the Basin through the implementation of the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP), formally known as the Comprehensive Management Plan. Under the CWA Section 121, the Base program will receive approximately $2.2 million for Fiscal Year 2025. Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Program has received approximately $10.1 million per year in project funds for FYs 2022- 2026. Both Base and IIJA funding prioritize the improvement of Lake Pontchartrain’s environmental health and climate resilience in an equitable manner. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA)-funded Assistance Listings The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Restoration Program considered and integrated relevant approaches to achieving the intended goals and objectives of IIJA and M-22-12 “Advancing Effective Stewardship of Taxpayer Resources and Outcomes in the Implementation of the Infrastructure Jobs Act.” To achieve the intended goals of benefiting disadvantaged communities and building climate change resilience, the Program developed an Equity Strategy and guidance documents (including priorities from Executive Order 14052: “Implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act”). EPA will invest public dollars equitably, create jobs and high labor stands, ensure goods and services are made in America and build infrastructure that is climate change resilient.
