 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 financial
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.

                                                             Administration
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

D. C. 20460. EPA and SBA field
offices also are listed at the end
of this manual.
  Queries about the Toxic Sub-
stances Control Act may be sent
to the Industry Assistance Office,
Office of Toxic Substances,
TS-799, 401 M Street,  S. W.,
Washington, D.  C. 20460. The
Industry Assistance Office also
provides a toll-free assistance
number. Telephone 800-424-9065.
In Washington, D. C.,  call
554-1404.
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.

 • Be at an operational or
 financing disadvantage with
 other business concerns with
 respect to either the planning,
 design or installation of.
 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
 control pollution or
 contamination.

    Applications for a bond guar-
 antee must be made on SBA
  Form 1136. They can be filed at
  SBA's Central Office, 1441 L
  Street, N. W., Washington,
  D. C. 20416 or at the nearest
  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 IDB 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.
Small Business Administration,
1441 L Street, N. W., Washing-
ton, D.  C. 20416. Telephone

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
EDA  regional  office listed at the
end of this booklet.

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.

 Innovative
 Treatment
 System  Grants
 Environmental  Protection
 Agency
 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.

                                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 (ICR).
  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.

Agency has issued guidelines to

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.

the Regional Offices of  the
Economic Development

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.

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.

ment grants should be sent to

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.)
  The ACP  is 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. Govern-
ment Offices.  Inquiries may also

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.
Their addresses can be found in
the telephone directory, under
United States Government,
Department of Agriculture.

Assistance for  Agriculture
Soil and  Water
Conservation
 Soil Conservation
 Service
 The Soil Conservation Service
 (SCSI was established under
 authority of the Soil Conserva-
 tion Act of 1935 (49 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.
  Further  information  about any
of the Soil Conservation Service
Programs  can be obtained from
the local Soil Conservation Ser-
vice office. Its address can be
found in the telephone directory
under United States Govern-
ment, Department of
Agriculture.

                              Service
  The Soil Conservation Service
has administrative leadership for
the Rural Clean Water Program
(RCWP) in the Department of
Agriculture. 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 208 water-quality manage-
ment 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 (5 to 10
years) RCWP contract with the
agency 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 50 percent of the cost
identified for water-quality im-
provements.
  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.
  Additional information about
either the Rural Clean Water Pro-
gram or the Rural Abandoned
Mine Program can be obtained
from the local Soil Conservation
Service office, whose address
can be found in the telephone
directory under United States
Government.

 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
further information on these pro-
grams, contact  the State devel-
opment agencies listed on pages
24-25
                            21
