Introduction
Federal and other pollution con-
trol programs have been as-
signed to protect the environ-
ment without causing undue
harm to the economy. No Fed-
eral regulation or guideline is
issued until after its potential
cost to the discharger has been
assessed and deemed reason-
able.
Pollution control measures can
be costly, especially to smaller
firms that cannot take advantage
of the economies of scale en-
joyed by large firms. Because of
their lack of capital or low profit
margins, they face the prospect
of shutting down. Even some
communities find themselves
threatened with economic
disruption either because of the
possible loss of businesses or
through their own need to make
pollution control expenditures.
The U.S. government con-
siders it a matter of serious con-
cern that even a small number of
firms may be forced to close
because of their financial inability
to comply with environmental
laws. The Environmental Protec-
tion Agency keeps careful track
of these potential closings and
attempts to help otherwise viable
concerns remain in business.
Much of this assistance is pro-
vided by informing affected par-
ties of the Federal and other
assistance programs available to
them. This booklet describes
these programs and is intended
to be useful to affected firms,
farms, trade associations,
unions, non-profit development
organizations, and State and
local governments seeking to
reduce the sometimes disruptive
effect of environmental regula-
tions on individual firms and
local economies.
In many cases it will be appro-
priate to use a combination of
the assistance programs de-
scribed in this booklet. A fully
developed assistance strategy
can range from direct loans to a
distressed firm, to a variety of
grants, loans, and manpower
training programs to redevelop a
local economy hurt by a major
plant closing. This brochure at-
tempts to describe the individual
programs which can comprise an
assistance strategy, but in some
cases creative packaging of the
programs can bring the best
results. To assist firms, workers,
and communities in meeting
pollution control requirements
without undue loss of employ-
ment, a regional economic
assistance officer has been des-
ignated in each EPA regional
office. These officers will help
ensure that eligible business and
communities receive the financial
and technical assistance available
under the programs described in
the succeeding chapters.
Most of these programs are
aimed at assisting private firms,
particularly small businesses. By
keeping these firms alive, the
adverse impact of environmental
programs upon communities and
workers can be minimized.
Various government loans, in-
terest subsidies and tax breaks
have been devised to help
marginal firms secure pollution
control equipment at favorable
rates. A limited amount of
technical assistance also is
available to them.
Similar programs are available
to farmers who must finance the
cost of reducing run-offs from
their fields or other agricultural
operations.
Communities also are eligible
to receive grants and technical
assistance for projects aimed at
improving the environment or
reducing or avoiding the adverse
impacts environmental regula-
tions might have upon the local
economy. The grants can be
used for constructing en-
vironmental facilities or carrying
out economic development
plans.
The various programs have
been grouped into three sections
in this booklet — those intended
for industry, for communities,
and for farms. However, pro-
grams listed for one group often
can provide assistance to mem-
bers of the other groups. In ad-
dition to the Federal Programs,
many States also have made vari-
ous forms of assistance available.
These are indicated on a chart
showing what types of programs
are available in the different
States. At the end of the booklet
there is a list of the Federal and
State offices where further infor-
mation can be obtained.
The potential applicant should
keep the following facts in mind
when looking for help:
• Each program is designed to
deal with particular situations
and is limited in the types and
amount of assistance it can pro-
vide, and the types of clients it
can serve.
• These programs are designed
to help those firms that are at a
financial disadvantage in making
pollution control expenditures.
• The programs are intended to
help the firms that can be eco-
nomically viable if they are
helped.
EPA tries to identify busi-
nesses and plants that might be
adversely affected by environ-
mental regulations. Business
owners, workers or community
leaders should not hesitate to
bring their problems to the atten-
tion of the regional economic
financial adviser at the EPA of-
fice in his or her area to obtain
this valuable information.

The Small Business
Administration (SBA) is charged
under the Small Business Act
with aiding small businesses in
their financing needs Section 8
of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act of 1972 amended
Section 7 of the Small Business
Act by authorizing loans to
small business concerns for
adding to or altering their
equipment, facilities, or
methods of operation in order to
comply with the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, now
called the Clean Water Act The
loans are intended to assist
eligible businesses, farmers and
feedlot operators who might
otherwise incur substantial
economic injury The
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) must certify that
the equipment being purchased
will be sufficient to bring the
firm in compliance with the
applicable environmental
regulations
A small business may be
eligible for an SBA loan if its
need for the loan results from it
engaging in one of the following
activities and/or if any one of
the following conditions exists.
The business:
• Has an effluent discharge re-
quiring a Pollution Discharge
Elimination System permit under
Section 402 of the Clean Water
Act;
• Emits discharges through a
sewer line into a publicly owned
treatment works in a city or
town that requires the pretreat-
ment of waste discharge;
• Plans to discharge into a mu-
nicipal sewer system through the
construction of a lateral or inter-
ceptor sewer;
• Is subject to State or regional
requirements on controlling the
disposal of pollutants that may
affect groundwater;
• Requires a U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers permit for disposal
or dredged or fill material;
• Is subject to Coast Guard or
State government requirements
regarding the standard of perfor-
mance of marine sanitation de-
vices controlling sewage from
vessels;
• Is implementing a plan to con-
trol or prevent the discharge of
oil or other hazardous sub-
stances.
SBA also makes loans to firms
(and farmers) seeking to comply
with the Clean Air and Toxic
Substances Control Acts. These
direct loans can be made for up
to 30 years. Interest rates have
been running slightly higher than
7 percent.
Inquiries may be made at any
SBA or EPA office or by writing

nator, U. S. Environmental Pro-
tection Agency, WH-586, 401 M

An amendment to the Small
Business Act and the Small
Business Investment Act (Public
Law 94-305) (90 Stat. 663)
authorizes SBA to guarantee
financing needed to acquire
facilities for controlling air,
noise or water
pollution/contamination. SBA
may guarantee the full amount
of payments due under any
"qualified contract" let to
acquire, install, plan, design or
construct property the Agency
finds is likely to help prevent,
reduce, abate or control noise,
air/water pollution or
contamination.
The statute specifically
provides that the financing of
the pollution control facilities
may be done through industrial
revenue bonds (IDB) issued by a
State or political subdivision.
Interest on these bonds is
exempt from federal income tax
under the Internal Revenue
Code and Treasury regulations.
The program is intended to
serve viable and sound
enterprises that do not have
ready access to long term
capital markets and are likely to
suffer a disadvantage in
competing with other business
concerns in the planning,
design or installing of pollution
control facilities.
A business applying for a
guarantee must:
• Be one that qualifies under
SBA industry size standards, or
is independently-owned and op-
erated, not dominant in its field,
has no more than $9 million in
assets, a net worth not exceed-
ing $4 million, and after-tax earn-
ings averaging no more than
$400,000 during the previous two
years.

pollution control facilities or the
obtaining of the financing
needed to do so.
• Have been in operation for a
least five years, and profitable
during any three of the last five
years preceding the date of the
application;
• Provide evidence (usually
from a pollution control
regulatory agency) on the need
for the facility, and its ability to
help prevent, reduce, abate, or

SBA field office.
While the financing of
industrial revenue bonds is
normally done at the most
favorable repayment terms and
the lowest cost to the borrower,
there are instances where the
financial needs of a small busi-
ness concern are too small to
justify the costs associated with
IDB financing. Some States have
overcome this problem by issu-
ing a single I OB to cover the
pollution control financing needs
of a number of small businesses.
In those States which do not
have this program, financing
may be available through the
guaranteed and direct loans of
the Small Business Administra-
tion.
Inquiries should be directed to
any SBA office or to the Office
of Special Guarantees, U. S.

The Economic Development
Administration (EDA) of the U.
S. Department of Commerce is
charged with the responsibility
of stimulating industrial growth
and economic development in
economically depressed areas
of the country. EDA will make
development loans to firms in
an attempt to upgrade an area
economically by creating new
and permanent jobs and higher
incomes for local residents.
While pollution control is not
directly related to the EDA's
efforts to alleviate economic
distress and increase
employment, the business
development loan program can
indirectly help firms to install
pollution control equipment. For
example, a firm may qualify for
an EDA development loan, if it is
located in an area EDA has
designated as one of low growth
and the firm is likely to be shut
down—causing a loss of jobs—
for failure to comply with
environmental regulations.
The maturity of a loan is based
upon the useful life of the fixed
assets being acquired and may
be extended for up to 25 years.
Interest rates are determined by
the cost of borrowing by the
U.S. Government. They are
adjusted quarterly.
Loans and grants also may be
extended to a business under
Titles II and IX for the costs
incurred either to change pro-
duction processes or install
special pollution abatement
equipment.
The loans will be made only
when the funding is not available
from any other private or Federal
source.
Loan assistance (other than
working capital loans) shall not
exceed 65% of aggregate cost to
the applicant (excluding all
other Federal aid in connection
with the undertaking).
Guarantees can be extended
by EDA on loans or leases up to
90% of the potential liability.
Whenever pollution control is
involved under the title II loan or
guarantee program, or Title IX
grants, the applicant must
submit the notice from the
agency ordering the shut down
of the facility if compliance is
not achieved by a certain date.
The pollution control agency
also must certify in writing that
the proposed equipment to be
installed will satisfy its
requirements. Applications for
any new project exceeding $1
million must be accompanied by
a feasibility study prepared by
an independent consultant. The
applicant may prepare such a
study package when the cost of
the project is less than $1
million.
Inquiries may be directed to
the Office of Business Develop-
ment, Economic Development
Administration, U. S. Depart-
ment of Commerce, Washing-
ton, D. C. 20230, or the nearest

The Farmers Home Administra-
tion (FmHA) may make and in-
sure loans to either profit or non-
profit public, private, or coopera-
tive organizations, individuals,
and Indian tribes to improve,
develop, or finance business, in-
dustry and employment and
better the economic and environ-
mental climate of rural com-
munities. Such loans can be
made for pollution abatement
and control and guaranteed
when made, held or serviced by
other lenders. Indian tribes can
qualify for such loans when they
are federally recognized or oc-
cupy Federal or State reserva-
tions.
FmHA may also award grants,
not to exceed $50,000,000 an-
nually, to public bodies to help
develop private enterprises. The
funds can be used to develop,
construct, or acquire land,
buildings, plants, equipment, ac-
cess streets and roads, parking
areas, utility extensions,
necessary water supply and
waste disposal facilities. It also
can be used for refinancing or
the payment of services and
fees.
FmHA may participate in the
joint financing of private busi-
ness enterprises in rural areas
with the Economic Development
Administration, the Small Busi-
ness Administration, the Depart-
ment of Housing and Urban
Development, other Federal and
State agencies, and with private
and quasi-public financial institu-
tions. Eligible applicants can
receive either joint loans or
grants, whichever are applicable.
Loans also can be made to
eligible rural applicants for pollu-
tion abatement and control proj-
ects. FmHA also may make
grants of up to $25,000,000 an-
nually. No grant is to exceed 50
percent of a project's develop-
ment cost.
FmHA is prohibited from mak-
ing any loan which could cause
the total outstanding indebted-
ness of loans made under the
Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant
Act to exceed $50,000. Nor can
loans be used for purchasing or
leasing land other than as cash
rent, or the carrying on of any
land leasing or purchasing pro-
gram. Loans also must not ex-
ceed the amount certified by the
county committee.
FmHA also can make and in-
sure loans to associations, in-
cluding non-profit corporations,
eligible Indian tribes, and public
and quasi-public agencies for ap-
plying and establishing soil con-
servation measures, shifting land
use, and conserving, developing,
using and controlling water
resources. Loans also can be
made for installing or improving
drainage or waste disposal
facilities, and developing recrea-
tional and essential community
facilities, including the purchase
of necessary equipment. Finan-
cial and other aid also is available
for the planning of such proj-
ects. The projects must be aimed
at serving primarily farmers and
ranchers, their tenants and
laborers, and other rural
residents.
FmHA is also authorized to
make aggregate grants of up to
$300,000,000 in any fiscal year to
associations for financing
specific projects or works needed
to develop, store, treat, purify or
distribute water, or to collect,
treat, or dispose of waste in rural
areas. No grant may exceed 50
percent of development cost.
The association receiving the
grant also must insure that the
facility to be built will adequately
serve the reasonably foreseeable
growth needs of the area. No
grant is approved until FmHA
determines that the population
of the area will not decline below
that for which the project is
designed, and the project has
adequate capacity to serve both
the present population of the
area and its foreseeable future
growth. The project also must
be deemed necessary for orderly
community development consis-
tent with a comprehensive com-
munity water, waste disposal or
other development plan, and
must not conflict with any State
development plan.

Under Section 105 of the Clean
Water Act industry may receive
Federal grants to construct
wastewater treatment facilities
aimed at developing and
demonstrating new or improved
methods of treating industrial
wastewaters or preventing
pollution which will have
industry-wide application. Such
grants may not exceed 75
percent of the projected costs
The Clean Water Act, as
amended, also provides grants
for projects which can also
develop and demonstrate "new
or improved methods of joint
treatment systems for
municipal and industrial
wastewaters." The grants
program is a cost-sharing type
of agreement. However, the
Federal government bears the
full cost for some of EPA's
research and development
work, contracting with
appropriate non-government
entities for these services.
Through the contract or grant
device, EPA can support almost
any worthwhile project under
almost any type of institutional
arrangement.
Two basic conditions must be
met to receive a grant: First, the
project must have scientific and
technical merit. There must be
technical competence associated
with the project. Second, the
project activities must demon-
strate a way to combat water
pollution. The results must be
accurate in terms of both cost
and performance, and must be
made available to the public.
Inquiries should be addressed
to: Deputy Assistant Administra-
tor for Energy, Minerals and In-
dustry, RD-681, EPA 401 M
Street, S. W., Washington,
D. C. 20460.
Sections 103 and 104 of the
Clean Air Act also authorize
EPA to fund innovative
approaches to pollution control
being undertaken by air
pollution control, public and
private non-profit agencies,
institutions, organizations and
individuals. Such research and
development can be funded
through either a grant or
contract. Eligible projects are
those that demonstrate
innovative methods and
strategies for achieving
National Ambient Air Quality
Standards, or new and
improved ways of reducing air
pollution.

Bonds
Federal Tax
Incentives
The Congress has authorized
the sale of IDB's by State and
local governments to help
companies obtain the financing
needed to meet Federal
pollution control requirements.
These pollution control bonds
usually are sold by a State or
municipal agency to
underwriters who resell them to
investors. Funds raised must be
spent to meet air and water
pollution requirements.
Small issues are tax exempt
when the amount of the bonds
sold does not exceed $1 million,
or when the total capital
expenses on the facility being
financed do not exceed $5
million.
This type of financing has
been extensively utilized by
large business. Essentially, a
public entity issues tax exempt
revenue bonds on which
repayment is based solely upon
the credit of the business. The
bonds are re-paid or redeemed
by a trustee for the business.
The public entity is the nominal
owner of the property; the
property is conveyed to the
business under a lease, lease-
purchase, installment sales or
similar contract. The business
may obtain additional tax
advantages such as the
investment credit and
accelerated amortization.
The Internal Revenue Service
determines whether the interest
paid to bond purchasers is sub-
ject to Federal income tax.
Essentially all types of permanent
facilities such as piping, pump-
ing, and treatment units,
whether used for controlling
direct discharges or discharges
into municipal treatment facil-
ities, can be financed with such
bonds.
Information on Industrial
Development Bonds may be
obtained from the State
Development Agencies listed at
the end of this booklet.
Rapid amortization is an ac-
counting method for recovering
the cost of pollution control
equipment through depreciation
on an accelerated basis, or faster
than would ordinarily be allowed.
The Tax Reform Act of 1976,
section 2112, restored the rapid
amortization provision of the
tax code permitting the acceler-
ated write-off of pollution control
equipment. The 1976 statute
modified the earlier law in two
important respects. First, con-
current use of part of the invest-
ment tax credit and rapid amorti-
zation was allowed. Second,
devices which prevent the crea-
tion of pollution, such as fuel
desulfurization equipment, were
made eligible for certification.
Section 2112, however, excludes
from eligibility equipment which
"significantly" (defined in
legislative history and EPA
regulations as more than 5%) in-
creases output or capacity,
reduces the total operating cost
of the plant, or extends its useful
life. Facilities must still be cer-
tified and Federal governments in
order to be eligible for rapid
amortization. The reader should
refer to 40 C.F.R., Part 20, Cer-
tification of Facilities.
The 1976 legislation restored
rapid amortization as a perma-
nent provision for facilities in-
stalled after December 31, 1975
in plants in operation before
January 1, 1976. Further, for
those facilities installed after
December 31, 1976, the law per-
mitted concurrent use of the in-
vestment tax credit; however, if
the credit is used in conjunction
with rapid amortization only one-
half of the currently allowable in-
vestment credit may be claimed.
The Revenue Act of 1978
changed this rule to allow a 10%
investment credit for pollution
control facilities for which 5-year
amortization is elected unless the
facilities are also financed with
tax-exempt bonds. If the tax
payer uses both tax-exempt
financing and 5-year amortiza-
tion, the investment credit is
only 5%. Thus, to receive a 10%
investment credit subsequent to
the Revenue Act, the taxpayer
must choose between tax-
exempt financing and 5-year
amortization.
The new rule is applicable in
the case of facilities acquired or
constructed after December 31,
1978.
In assessing the significance of
the new rule, taxpayers should
realize that 5-year amortization of
pollution control facilities under
section 169 is allowable only in
the case of pollution control
facilities used in connection with
a plant or property that was in
operation prior to January 1,
1976.
Furthermore, if the pollution
control facility has a useful life in
excess of 15 years, only a por-
tion of the investment qualifies
for 5-year amortization. The
qualifying portion is the amount
of the investment that would be
depreciated over the first 15

years if straight line depreciation
were used. For example, if a pol-
lution control device has an ex-
pected life of 20 years, three-
fourths of its cost (the amount
that would be depreciated in the
first 15 years with straight line
depreciation) can be amortized
over the first 5 years. The re-
maining one-fourth has to be
depreciated by a traditional
method, but this depreciation
can also begin in the first year,
and need not wait until the 16th.
These revisions were precipi-
tated by the fact that, after the
reinstatement of the investment
tax credit in 1971, rapid amor-
tization was used only infre-
quently because the standard in-
vestment tax credit plus standard
amortization practice provided
greater tax benefits. The con-
current use of a partial invest-
ment tax credit and rapid amorti-
zation under the 1976 Act made
the rapid amortization option
somewhat more attractive to in-
vestors in pollution control
equipment, and the 1978 Act
further increased the benefit.
The Economic Development
Administration administers a pro-
gram of grants for technical as-
sistance which can be used for
economic adjustment activities in
qualified locations. The technical
assistance can be used to deter-
mine the feasibility of specific
business projects, including the
feasibility of using financial assis-
tance to prevent a plant closing
or stimulating new economic
development after an area has
been adversely affected by envi-
ronmental regulations. Eligible
applicants are private non-profit
groups. State and local govern-
ments, and small business firms.
The program is currently funded
at approximately $15 million per
year. Initial contact for assistance
should be made through an EPA
regional office or contact:

The Environmental Protection
Agency conducts studies of se-
lected situations where environ-
mental regulations may be in-
volved in a threatened plant
closing. In these studies, EPA
analyzes the financial situation of
the firm, and the impact of assis-
tance possibilities and enforce-
ment options on the ability of
the firm to remain in business.
The studies are undertaken only
in cooperation with both the firm
involved and EPA enforcement
personnel. Firms, groups of
workers, or communities which
are interested in having such a
study conducted should contact

Publicly Owned
Treatment
Systems
Environmental Protection
Agency
Discharging waste water into a
publicly owned treatment works
(POTW) may result in significant
cost savings for an industry.
However, section 204(b)(1)(B) of
the Clean Water Act requires
that industrial users of POTWs
reimburse the Federal govern-
ment for the cost of constructing
that portion of the public facility
being used to treat or pretreat
the user's industrial wastes. The
resulting charges are called in-
dustrial cost recovery OCR).
The capital costs, without
interest, are repaid over 30
years or the useful life of the
POTW, whichever is shorter.
Industrial cost recovery only
applies to the federal grant
portion (usually 75 percent) of
construction costs. When
recovering capital costs,
however, the POTWs may have
to charge interest to repay the
debt incurred in procuring the
remaining or local 25 percent
share. Interest costs on the local
share can be reduced when
State grants are used for part or
all of it.
POTWs which receive federal
wastewater construction grants
must also establish a user
charge system for the operation
and maintenance cost of the
plant. The municipality must
charge industry and residences
the full share of such costs and
no benefit that could be called a
subsidy or cost reduction
technique is allowed.
Although the current law re-
quires ICR and user charges,
discharging into a publicly-
owned system still is often less
costly — particularly for smaller
firms — than if the industry at-
tempts to fully treat the wastes
itself before discharging them
directly into a stream. One cost
saving is interest payments. ICR
does not require payment of any
interest charges, and is therefore
equivalent to an interest free
loan with up to a 30 year pay
back period. However, the use
of publicly owned systems is not
always less expensive. Often
firms must pretreat their wastes
before discharging them into
such a system, and the cost of
this pretreatment plus the user
and ICR charges can be greater
than the cost of full treatment
and direct discharge.
A municipality usually
calculates industrial cost
recovery by allocating the costs
covered by the federal grant to
the various components of
compatible industrial
wastewater; namely,
wastewater flow, suspended
solids and biological oxygen
demand. This allocation results
in a cost per unit for the quantity
of those three pollutants. The
total cost allocation is obtained
by multiplying a company's
actual discharges by their cost
per unit. The company is
assessed the allocated amount
over 30 years or, if shorter, the
useful life of the POTW.
An important question about
industrial cost recovery is what
happens to annual payments if
a company's discharge
subsequently is reduced in
volume or pollutant
concentration. The answer
depends on the agreement that
the company initially made with
the POTW. The annual
payments are not reduced if the
company has reserved a specific
capacity of the POTW.
Reserving capacity is the
equivalent of the company
having purchased a treatment
system of its own and being
accountable for the capital
costs. When no reserve capacity
is involved, the company's
annual payments decrease as
discharges are reduced.
Companies that do not reserve
capacity, however, run the risk
of not having access to the
POTW if they expand in the
future.
A POTW will automatically
establish an industrial cost
recovery system if it receives
federal grant money under the
Clean Water Act. Prior to
establishing the system the
POTW surveys their future
wastewater discharge plans. It
is important that companies
monitor and understand how
the POTW is establishing the
industrial cost recovery system.
There are no hard-and-fast
rules for allocating POTW costs
to industry, and the POTW has
considerable discretion in
making such allocations.
Therefore, the companies
involved have a stake in
insuring that the overall costs
are reasonable and the
allocations appropriate. Costs
should be discussed with POTW
officials and the POTW's
engineering firm.
The above cost calculation
procedure appears
straightforward. However, there
is considerable latitude in such
things as the methods by which
the municipality allocates costs,
the overall costs, and in what
constitutes normal and peak
discharges.
There are no certifications,
other special documents, or
application fees required by the
POTW for industrial cost
recovery. A significant user of a
POTW, ie., greater than 10
percent of the POTW capacity, is
required to sign a letter of intent
concerning future usage plans.
The letter of intent does not bind
the company to future plant
usage. Nor does it bind the
company to future payments
should it decide to leave the
POTW.

Department of Housing
and Urban Development
The main goal of the Coastal
Energy Impact Program (CEIP) is
to help coastal communities ac-
commodate energy-related devel-
opment in a planned and envi-
ronmentally responsible manner.
Four basic kinds of assistance
are available under the CEIP
• Planning Grants are available
to coastal states and
communities preparing for the
consequences of all new or
expanded energy activity in the
coastal zone. In order to identify
a suitable location for a facility,
for example, a community may
have to conduct a natural
resource inventory, gathering
important data on local physical
conditions; it may have to plan
for improved means of
transportation to and from the
facility; community
development planning may be
required to locate new homes
and businesses to support new
residents; and, plans may have
to be made for the location and
scheduling of required new
public facilities.
• Credit Assistance is available
to communities in the form of
direct loans or guarantees of
loans or bonds.
• Repayment Assistance is also
available to a community that
cannot meet its CEIP credit
obligations because revenues
from coastal energy activity are
less than anticipated. This
guarantees that a community
receiving CEIP assistance will
not sustain a net fiscal loss from
coastal energy activity
• Environmental Grants are
available to help prevent,
reduce, or repair damage to or
loss of valuable environmental
or recreational resources. If, for
example, the siting of an energy
facility results in the loss of or
damage to a public beach, a
community may use CEIP grants
to purchase access rights to a
similar beach area.

The Urban Development Action
Grant Program (UDAG) is
designed to combat economic
and physical distress through
the creation of new
partnerships between
governments at all levels, the
private sector, and
neighborhood groups. The
program seeks to stimulate
urban reinvestment in
communities of greatest
distress as defined by a
combination of factors including
the age of housing, percent of
poverty, population lag/decline,
job lag/decline, unemployment,
and growth in per capita
income. Action grants, that are
granted to localities are used to
leverage private investment in
neighborhood, commercial, and
industrial activities.
Action Grant funds may be
used for such activities as: land
clearance, site improvement,
rehabilitation, the provision of
financial participation in the
form of equity funding, loans,
loan guarantees, lease
guarantees, or other
appropriate arrangements for
joint public private
development.
The UDAG funds are part of
the community development
block grant program of the
Department of Housing and Ur-
ban Development, and have
recently averaged about $400
million annually. At least 25 per-
cent of the funds are set aside
for small communities with
populations of less than 50,000.
In addition to the special UDAG
funds, communities may use up
to 10 percent of the community
development block grants for
economic development activities
such as preventing plant closings
or stimulating development after
a plant closes.

The Special Economic
Development and Adjustment
Assistance Program (Title IX) of
the Public Works and Economic
Development Act of 1965, as
amended, authorizes grants to
States and units of local
government threatened with
pending or actual dislocations
that would result in a significant
and permanent increase in
unemployment. Such
dislocations may take the form
of a shutdown of a major local
employer that is unable to
finance investments required to
comply with environmental
regulations.
Initially, assistance usually
takes the form of what is called
an adjustment planning grant.
Once an adjustment plan has
been prepared (and approved by
EDA), a Title IX Adjustment
Implementation Grant may be
awarded to carry out all or part
of the adjustment strategy.
Adjustment Implementation
funds granted local government
units may be used in any of a
number of ways, depending
upon what is called for in the
approved adjustment plan. The
local government may make
public works improvements that
comply with environmental
regulations; or it may loan the
funds to a local firm for anti-
pollution investments the firm
otherwise would be unable to
finance. If the plant has already
shut down, the funds may be
lent to a prospective new owner
to purchase and upgrade the
facility if private sector
financing cannot be obtained.
Proceeds of loan repayments to
the governmental unit go into a
revolving loan fund from which
further economic development
and adjustment loans can be
made.
Inquiries should be directed to
the Title IX Coordinator at any of
the Regional Offices of the
Economic Development
Administration, or to the

The Farmers Home Administra-
tion (FmHA) is authorized to
provide financial assistance for
water and waste disposal facil-
ities in rural areas and towns up
to 10,000 population. Public en-
tities such as municipalities,
counties, special purpose
districts, Indian Tribes, and cor-
porations not operated for profit
may receive assistance. Priority
will be given to public entities in
areas smaller than 5,500 people
to restore a deteriorating water
supply, improve, enlarge, or
modify a water system or an in-
adequate waste system.
Loans and grants also may be
used to:
1. Construct, repair, improve, ex-
pand, or otherwise modify rural
water supply reservoirs, wells,
pumping plants and water filtra-
tion and treatment facilities.
2. Acquire a water supply or a
water right.
3. Construct, repair, improve, ex-
pand, or otherwise modify waste
collection, treatment disposal
systems. Facilities to be financed
may include such items as sewer
lines, treatment plants, stabiliza-
tion ponds, storm sewer facilities,
sanitary landfills, incinerators and
necessary equipment such as
garbage trucks.
4. Pay necessary fees such as
legal and engineering develop-
ment of the facilities.
5. Pay other costs related to the
development of the facility in-
cluding acquisition of rights-of-
way and easements, and the
relocation of roads and utilities.
6. Finance projects in connection
with funds from other agencies
or those provided by the appli-
cant.
Loans are available to ap-
plicants who:
1. Are unable to obtain needed
funds from other sources at rea-
sonable rates and terms but are
financially sound and able to
manage the system effectively
and
2. Have legal capacity to borrow
and repay loans, to pledge
security for loans, and to operate
and maintain the facilities or ser-
vices.
3. Submit plans that are consis-
tent with any developmental
plans of the State, multijurisdic-
tional area, counties or munici-
palities in which the proposed
project is located.
Grants may be made for up to
75 per cent of a project's devel-
opment cost and may be used
by financially needy communities
to reduce user costs to a reason-
able level.
The maximum term on all
loans is 40 years. However, no
repayment period will exceed
statutory limitations on the
organization's borrowing authori-
ty nor the useful life of the im-
provement of the facility to be
financed.
Interest rates have been aver-
aging about 5 per cent on the
unpaid principal.

Assistance for Communities
Construction
Grants for
Municipalities
Environmental Protection
Agency
The U.S. Congress passed the
Federal Water Pollution Control,
or Clean Water, Act in 1956. A
major element of the Act
authorizes the Federal
government to award
municipalities grants for
financing construction of
sewage treatment facilities. The
program was significantly
expanded by the 1972
Amendments to the Act.
Under the construction grant
program, the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency (EPA) is autho-
rized to award grants totaling up
to 75% of the cost of a new
municipal treatment facility.
Grants for projects utilizing alter-
native or innovative processes or
technology may be increased to
85%. The remainder of the initial
costs are divided among State
and local governments and in-
dustrial users of the new system.
The law requires that
industrial users of publicly
owned works financed through
Federal grants, pay their
proportionate share of total
construction, operating,
maintenance and replacement
costs. Accordingly, when
industrial users hook up to
these facilties, they must (1) pay
a user charge based on
operating and maintenance
costs and (2) repay the portion
of the Federal grant which is
allocable to the treatment of
their industrial wastes. The
municipalities retain a share of
the repayments to help offset
their share of the treatment
facilities' cost and to provide
funds for future expansions.
The user charge system must
generate sufficient annual
revenue to offset all operational
and maintenance costs. It must
be reviewed periodically and
revised as necessary. A
surcharge may be levied when
pollutant concentrations from a
single source exceed normal
rates for domestic sewage.
There can be no discount rates
for large volume users.
Grants may also be made to
privately owned treatment works
serving one or more principal
residences or small commercial
establishments to abate an
existing water pollution or
public health problem. Eligible
establishments must have been
built and inhabited before
December 27, 1977. A public
body (municipality) must apply
on behalf of a number of such
units and certify that public
ownership of such works is not
feasible. The public body must
certify that the treatment works
will be properly maintained and
operated. User charges are
made for operating cost and
maintenance.
The cost of the facilities
must be less than the cost of
providing a collection and
central treatment system.
These are grants used to
construct alternative or
conventional treatment works
for individual residences or
clusters of residences.
Alternatives include, but are not
limited to, septic tanks and
other on-site systems; small
systems serving cluster
households; and pressure and
vacuum sewers.
Under Title II of the Clean
Water Act, EPA also can make
loan guarantees for construction
of treatment facilities.
The EPA Administrator is
authorized to guarantee loans
made to EPA grantees by the
Federal Financing Bank to
finance the local share of
construction costs. The
guarantees may not be made
unless the Administrator
certifies that the grantee cannot
finance their actual needs
without assistance because of
an inability to obtain sufficient
credit at what the Secretary of
the Treasury has deemed
reasonable terms. The
Administrator also must have
reasonable assurance that the
loan will be re-paid.
Inquiries about municipal treat-
ment grants should be sent to
the Municipal Construction Divi-
sion (WH 547), EPA, 401 M
Street, S. W., Washington,
D. C. 20460

Farmers Home
Administration
Agriculture Stabilization and
Conservation Services (ASCS) of
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture administers the
Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram (ACP), the principal pro-
gram through which the Federal
Government shares with farmers
the cost of carrying out soil,
water, woodland and wildlife
conservation measures on
privately owned farmland. This
cooperative approach to meeting
the Nation's conservation and
pollution abatement needs was
originally authorized by the Con-
gress in 1936 in the Soil Conser-
vation and Domestic Allotment
Act.
Assistance ranges from 30 to
80 percent of the cost. Basic
measures include establishment
of protective soil cover, conserv-
ing and disposing of water, pro-
viding benefits to wildlife, pre-
venting or abating agriculture-
related pollution, and generally
improving the quality of the en-
vironment. The ACP's appropria-
tion has been averaging about
$190 million annually.
The pollution abatement por-
tion of the program was first
begun in 1970. Many of the anti-
pollution measures being under-
taken under the ACP are aimed
at controlling animal wastes.
Practices for controlling animal
waste and other pollution prob-
lems may be included in the ACP
under either annual or long-term
agreements. The long-term
agreements provide for schedul-
ing practice performance over a
period of 3 to 10 years based on
a farm plan. The practices must
follow prescribed engineering
plans developed by the Soil Con-
servation Service (SCS). The
amount of assistance to any one
person is limited to $3,500 in any
one year. Under the long-term
agreement plan, a producer may
establish certain measures one
year and other measures in a
future year. (For example, diver-
sions can be constructed around
the barn lot in one year and a
waste lagoon could be built the
next year.)
ASCS also administers the
Water Bank Program The
Water Bank Program (WBP) is
authorized by the Water Bank
Act (Public Law 91 -559, 84
Stat 1468, 16USC590h)
approved by Congress on
December 19, 1970 and
amended by Congress January
2, 1980 (Public Law 96-182,
93 Stat 1317, 16USC 1304).
The Water Bank Program is
to preserve, restore and
improve wetlands in important
migratory waterfowl nesting
and breeding areas and to
provide other environmental
and agricultural benefits. It is
administered by ASCS County
Committees with technical
assistance provided by Soil
Conservation Service. The
Water Bank agreement be-
tween USDA and the land-
owner is for 10 years with
annual rental fees paid the
landowner. This program
prevents wetlands from being
destroyed and provides many
other environmental as well as
wildlife benefits.
The ACP and WBP are
administered at the local level
by the State and County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Committee. The
address for the county office
may be found in the telephone
directory under the U.S.
Government Offices. Inquiries
may also be directed to the
Conservation and Environ-
mental Protection Division,
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service, U.S.
Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D.C. 20013.
The Farmers Home Administra-
tion (FmHA) makes Farm Owner-
ship and Operating loans to
qualified farmers and ranchers
who are or will become oper-
ators of farms no larger than
family size. Applicants must be
unable to obtain sufficient credit
elsewhere to finance their actual
needs. Farm Ownership loans
may be used to purchase and
develop farms, including struc-
tures, or farming enterprises that
are consistent with local anti-
pollution or environmental quali-
ty standards and regulations.
Operating loans can be used to
purchase livestock and equip-
ment and finance farming opera-
tions that comply with pollution
control and abatement. Individ-
ual farmers, cooperatives and
corporations or partnerships
primarily engaged in farming may
obtain soil and water loans for
developing, conserving and mak-
ing proper use of their land and
water resources. The farms must
have the required agricultural,
animal or poultry waste pollution
abatement and control facilities.
Farm ownership and soil and
water loans may not exceed
$200,000 when made by the
FmHA as insured loans or
$300,000 when made by other
lenders and guaranteed by
FmHA. The guarantee may not
exceed 90%. The interest rate is
established periodically by FmHA
for insured loans and is
negotiated between the lender
and borrower on guaranteed
loans. The maximum repayment
period is 40 years. Operating
loans may not exceed $100,000
when made by the FmHA as in-
sured loans or $200,000 when
made by other lenders and
guaranteed by FmHA. The
guarantee may not exceed 90%.
The maximum initial repayment
period is 7 years and may be
rescheduled for 7 years.
Any legal entity, including in-
dividuals, partnerships, public
and private organizations, corpo-
rations, and federally recognized
Indian tribal groups may be eli-
gible for assistance.
Loans may be made in any
area outside the boundary of a
city of 50,000 or more and its im-
mediately adjacent urbanized
area with a population density of
more than 100 persons per
square mile. Priority will be given
to applications for projects in
open country, rural communities,
and towns of 25,000 and smaller.
Repayments of loans are
usually on a monthly basis with
maturity not to exceed 30 years
for land, buildings, and perma-
nent fixtures; 15 years, or the
useful life of machinery, which-
ever is shorter; and 7 years for
working capital. The interest rate
on guaranteed loans may be
fixed or variable and are deter-
mined by the lender and the bor-
rower.
Most FmHA assistance is pro-
vided through the loan guarantee
program, and application for
such a guarantee must be made
through the bank or other insti-
tution that would provide the
loan. Further information about
any of the FmHA programs can
be obtained from any of the
1,760 FmHA county offices.

Conservation
Soil Conservation
Service
The Soil Conservation Service
(SCS) was established under
authority of the Soil Conserva-
tion Act of 1935 (48 Stat. 163;
16 U.S.C. 590a-f). It is responsi-
ble for developing and carrying
out a national soil and water
conservation program in
cooperation with landowners and
operators, other land users and
developers, community planning
agencies, regional resource
groups, and other agencies of
government—Federal, State, and
local. The SCS also assists in
controlling agricultural pollution,
environmental improvement, and
rural community development.
The soil and water conserva-
tion program provides technical
help to locally organized and
operated conservation districts
and local sponsors of watershed
protection and resource conser-
vation and development projects.
It also assists individuals and
groups on a consultant basis.
There are approximately 3,000
conservation districts, covering
almost 2 billion acres in all the
States, Puerto Rico, and the
Virgin Islands.
Through the conservation
districts, the SCS gives land-
owners and operators the
technical assistance needed to
carry out locally-adapted soil and
water conservation programs.
Assistance to district
cooperators (individuals and
communities) includes: providing
soil and capability maps and
other resource data; providing
information about practical alter-
natives for treating and using the
land; developing plans for install-
ing treatment facilities and mak-
ing the land use change needed,
and helping to apply parts of the
plan that require special skills or
knowledge.
Soil surveys are made to deter-
mine potential soil use and the
type of treatment needed. The
SCS distributes its surveys and
interpretations to cooperators,
other Federal agencies, and
State and local organizations.
The National Cooperative Soil
Survey, which also is compiled
by the SCS, is used as the basis
for national conservation plan-
ning. The survey is conducted in
cooperation with State agricul-
tural experiment stations and
other State and Federal agen-
cies.
Other SCS activities include:
River Basin Surveys and In-
vestigations — The Service
cooperates with other Federal,
State, and local agencies in
developing coordinated water
resource programs.
Watershed Planning — The Ser-
vice is responsible for investi-
gating and surveying proposed
small watershed projects at the
request of sponsoring local
organizations, and with assisting
the sponsors in developing
watershed work plans.
Watershed and Flood Prevention
Operations — The Service works
with local sponsors, State, and
other public agencies on the in-
stallation of planned works of
improvement needed to: reduce
erosion, floodwater, and sedi-
ment damage; conserve,
develop, utilize, and dispose of
water; prevent floods and
develop fish and wildlife
habitats. It makes loans to local
organizations to help finance the
local share of the cost of carry-
ing out planned watershed and
flood prevention improvement
works. The Farmers Home Ad-
ministration administers the loan
program.
Great Plains Conservation Pro-
gram — The Service has general
responsibility for administering
programs designed to promote
greater agricultural stability in the
critical Great Plains area. The
Service shares the cost of con-
servation practices under 3 to
10-year contracts with farmers
and ranchers in designated coun-
ties of the 10 Great Plains
States, and provides the tech-
nical services needed to help make
land use adjustments and insure
that conservation measures
specified in conservation plans
are installed as scheduled by
contract.
Resource Conservation and
Development Program — The
Service is responsible for
assisting local sponsoring groups
accelerate land and water plan-
ning and development in multiple
county areas. Projects may in-
clude such measures as flood
prevention; the developing of
water resources for recreation,
wildlife, agricultural, municipal,
or industrial use; conservation
planning and the establishing of
individual land units; the improv-
ing of recreation facilities, in-
cluding historical and scenic at-
tractions; the encouraging of
new industries to locate in and
process products of an area; the
expanding of markets for crop
and livestock products; up-
grading and protecting the quali-
ty of the environment, and long-
range planning.
The SCS conducts investiga-
tions and surveys needed to
develop and plan conservation
and land use programs. It also
provides technical services and
financial assistance to sponsors,
local groups, and individuals,
and makes loans to improve and
develop resources.

The ASCS has administra-
tive leadership for the Rural
Clean Water Program (RCWP)
in the Department of Agri-
culture. The objective of this
program is to improve water
quality in rural America. To be
eligible for financial and
technical assistance a
proposed RCWP project area
must be included in an
approved agricultural portion
of a water-quality man-
agement plan. Any owner or
operator whose land or
activities in an approved
project area are contributing to
the area's agriculture nonpoint
source water-quality problems
is eligible to enter into a long-
term (3 to 10 years) RCWP
contract with the ASCS
designated to administer the
program in that project area.
The RCWP contract will include
measures incorporating practices
to reduce agricultural nonpoint
source pollution. The basis for
the RCWP contract is a land-
owner or operator water-quality
plan prepared with technical
assistance from the SCS and ap-
proved by a soil conservation
district. USDA will normally pay
up to 75 percent of the cost
identified for water-quality im-
provements.
Further information can be
obtained from the same offices
as for Agricultural Conserva-
tion Program.
The Soil Conservation Service
also administers the Rural Aban-
doned Mine Program (RAMP).
The program is designed to help
landowners develop and apply
plans for the reclamation, con-
servation and development of
eligible lands affected by coal
mining. RAMP provides cost
sharing for installing appropriate
reclamation and conservation
practices on abandoned coal mine
lands. The program is carried out
in cooperation with conservation
districts.

State Programs
\
In addition to the Federal as-
sistance programs discussed in
this booklet, almost all States
have some form of assistance,
whether financial or tax incen-
tives, which can be used to
lower the cost of pollution con-
trol investment or to stimulate
new business investment after a
plant closing. Many States ad-
minister the Federal industrial
revenue programs which make
tax-exempt financing available to
firms installing pollution control
equipment. In addition, there are
a number of exemptions or cred-
its relating to property and sales
taxes on pollution control equip-
ment. Some States allow rapid
depreciation of pollution control
investments.
In addition to the incentive
programs specifically for pollu-
tion control investments, many
States have programs to support
economic development which
can be used to reduce the dis-
ruptive effect of a plant closing.
Among the programs available
under this category are direct or
guaranteed State loans, tax in-
centives for investment, state-
issued industrial development
bonds, and tax incentives for
research and development. For

grams, contact the State devel-
opment agencies listed on pages
