Section 106 Grants
66.419
N/A
To assist States (including territories and the District of Columbia), Indian Tribes qualified under CWA Section 518(e), and interstate agencies in establishing and maintaining adequate measures for prevention and control of surface and ground water pollution from both point and nonpoint sources. States and Tribes will continue to focus on fulfilling their basic responsibilities under the CWA Section 106 funded programs, such as: (1) implementing monitoring strategies and the statistically-valid surveys to determine water quality status and trends; (2) fostering a watershed approach, including total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) and watershed plans designed to meet water quality standards; (3) implementing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting programs; and 4) States and Tribes will continue adopting updated water quality standards that support designated uses and completing triennial reviews on time. States NPDES Programs will continue to: (1) ensure the integrity of the program; (2) achieve and measure environmental results; and (3) incorporate efficiencies in permitting program operations. States will also conduct source water protection actions to protect both ground water and surface waters used for drinking water. Tribes will continue to conduct watershed assessments and will maintain and improve their capacity to implement water quality programs through monitoring, assessments, planning, data management and standards development.

In each fiscal year, grants are awarded to conduct Water Pollution Control programs by the 50 States, 6 Territories, the District of Columbia, 6 Interstate Commissions, and Indian Tribes qualifying under CWA Section 518(e). FY 16 funds will be used to continue to support State and Tribes’ efforts to fulfill their basic responsibilities under the CWA and identify program activities that best support attaining targeted environmental improvements. States and tribes continued working on: implementing monitoring strategies and the development of statistically-valid surveys to determine water quality status and trends; fostering a watershed approach including total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) and the development of watershed plans designed to meeting water quality standards; and the implementation of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and storm water permitting programs. At a minimum, Regional watershed based strategies give priority to: 1) fostering the development of watershed plans under State nonpoint source programs; 2) assuring that high priority permits are current; 3) tracking permitting for environmental results program integrity follow-up actions; 4) developing TMDLs for impaired waters; and 5) development of numeric criteria for nutrients. In Fiscal Year 2016, 5 grants for approximately $26 million were awarded. Projects funded included new and expanded wastewater treatment plants, infiltration/inflow correction, stormwater projects, new collector sewers, nutrient removal, new and rehabilitated sewer lines, and green infrastructure.
