Background
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act or ARRA) is an unprecedented
effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and address long-neglected
challenges emerging in the 21st century. The Recovery Act includes $7.22 billion for programs
administered by EPA to protect and promote both green jobs and a healthier environment.
EPA began tracking program performance at the end of Fiscal Year 2009. The following report
provides a summary of the performance EPA and its partners have achieved through June 30,
2010 (Quarter 3 Fiscal Year 2010) in the six key environmental programs funded by the
Recovery Act and efforts by the Office of the Inspector General. Each section includes general
background information on the program, performance metrics, cumulative results and cumulative
long-term targets, and examples of progress. The environmental programs invest in clean water
and drinking water projects, implement diesel emission reduction technologies, clean up leaking
underground storage tanks, revitalize and reuse brownfields, and clean up Superfund sites. To
learn more about the Recovery Act implementation at EPA, visit www.epa.gov/recovery.
In order to ensure accountability and demonstrate progress toward meeting program goals, EPA
will provide quarterly performance updates consistent with the timing of quarterly recipient
reporting. While this report contains the cumulative results since the Recovery Act began, visit
www.epa.gov/recovery/plans.htmltfreports to review weekly financial and activity reports.
Jobs Created
The Recovery Act will create or retain millions of jobs through its implementation over the next
several years and the American people will benefit through a vast array of new jobs. Many of
these positions will be green jobs created through EPA Recovery Act funds. As the table below
demonstrates, 15,764 jobs have been created or retained as reported by recipients from April 1 to
June 30, 2010.l To view EPA recipient reported data for your state, visit EPA Recipient

Clean Water State Revolving Fund
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF), in place since 1987, provides funds to states
to establish state loan revolving funds that finance infrastructure improvements for public
wastewater systems and other water quality projects. The EPA provides direct grants to
Washington, DC and the territories for similar purposes.
The EPA received $4 billion for the CWSRF that includes funds for water quality management
planning grants with up to 1% reserved for federal management and oversight and 1.5% for
Tribes. EPA awards grants to states and Puerto Rico for their state revolving fund programs,
from which assistance is provided to finance eligible high priority water infrastructure projects.
The states play a critical role by selecting projects, dispersing funds, and overseeing spending
and have set priorities based on public health and environmental factors, in addition to readiness
to proceed to construction capability. States must provide at least 20% of their grants for green
projects (i.e., green infrastructure, energy or water efficiency, and environmentally innovative
activities) and may retain up to 4% of available funds for program administration. Visit
www.epa.gov/water/eparecovery to learn more about the CWSRF.
Cumulative Program Accomplishments as of June 30, 20102
The CWSRF program has made significant progress this year in numerous areas including the
large number of projects initiating construction across the country. Furthermore, all project
funding was under contract by the February 17, 2010 deadline and all states contracted 20% of
their funds to green projects. In some cases, states far surpassed the 20% with the average
amount of green reserve totaling $1.1 billion or 30% of all funds.

Clean Water Site Stories3
Duncan Public Utilities Authority in Oklahoma received
$340,000 for an upgrade of their wastewater treatment works,
which was completed on April 7, 2010. These funds financed
the replacement of existing aerators with improved energy
efficient aerators in the activated sludge nitrification basin. The
energy footprint of aeration is, traditionally, a large proportion
of the energy demand of wastewater treatment; therefore, EPA
anticipates that this project will significantly reduce Duncan
Public Utilities' energy-related expenditures. New motors and
variable frequency drives are also included as part of this
project, which will enhance system-wide hydraulic efficiency.
The project is intended to reduce the system's energy demand
by approximately 600,000 kilowatt hours each year.
The Lincoln County Commission is using a $718,626 loan, which is
being provided in the form of principal forgiveness, to fund the
construction of on-site wastewater systems for 19 residences in the
community of Alkol, West Virginia in the Left Fork watershed of
the Mud River. The systems use innovative peat filters that pretreat
septic system effluent, removing high concentrations of nutrients
and producing a high-quality effluent with less biological oxygen
demand, total suspended solids, and fecal coliform bacteria.
Construction is expected to be completed by November 2011. The
on-site systems will replace direct discharges from homes or failing
septic systems and reduce pollutants that are negatively impacting
surface and ground water in the watershed.

-------
Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
The Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1996, established the Drinking Water State
Revolving Fund (DWSRF) to make funds available to drinking water systems to finance
infrastructure improvements. Under the Recovery Act, EPA received $2 billion for the DWSRF
with up to 1% of fund reserved for federal management and oversight and 1.5% for Tribes.
The program emphasizes the provision of funds to small and disadvantaged communities and to
programs that encourage pollution prevention as a tool for ensuring safe drinking water. The
DWSRF provides funds to states to establish state loan revolving funds that finance
infrastructure improvements for public and private Community Water Systems and not-for-profit
Non-Community Water Systems and direct grants to Washington, DC and the territories.4
The DWSRF consists of 51 state financing programs (includes Puerto Rico) which comply with
federal statute and regulations. States must provide at least 20% of their grants for green projects
(i.e., green infrastructure, energy or water efficiency, and environmentally innovative activities)
and may retain up to 4% of available funds for program administration. To learn more about the
DWSRF implementation of the Recovery Act, visit www. epa. gov/water/eparecovery.
Cumulative Program Accomplishments as of June 30, 2010s
Over a thousand projects have initiated construction that will bring safe drinking water to many
people across the country. Like the CWSRF, the DWSRF had all funds under contract by the
February 17, 2010 deadline. All states contracted 20% of their funds to green projects with many
surpassing the 20% minimum and the average amount of green reserve totaling $500 million or
29% of all funds.

Drinking Water Site Stories
Baltimore, Maryland received $2.5 million to survey, audit, and
upgrade various public buildings to reduce their water
consumption. The project consists mostly of the replacement
and retrofitting of inefficient water fixtures and devices to
improve water conservation. Baltimore's libraries, fire stations,
and other municipal buildings will have their water
consumption significantly reduced as a result of the installation
of low-flow automatic flush valves on toilets, urinals, and
faucet aerators, among other improvements. This project is an
excellent example of a municipality taking aggressive steps to
improve water conservation across the entire city.
The community of Whiteriver, Arizona, in the heart of the
Fort Apache Indian Reservation, has experienced significant
population growth over the past decade (61%). The
community's source of drinking water, the Miner Flat well
field, has had its production reduced by 40% in the past few
years while consumption has increased. To ameliorate the
situation, the EPA, Indian Health Service (IHS), Department
of Housing and Urban Development, and the White Mountain
Apache Tribe have collaborated in the planning, design, and
construction of an innovative surface diversion and treatment
system that will be completed this year.

Diesel Emission Reductions
Diesel engines emit large amounts of air pollutants which contribute to serious public health
problems including asthma, lung cancer and various other cardiac and respiratory diseases. With
funds dispersed through four programs, regional, state and local governments, tribal agencies,
and non-profit organizations received approximately $300 million in grants and loans to support
the implementation of verified and certified diesel emission reduction technologies.
The program aims to accelerate emission reductions from older diesel engines to provide more
immediate air quality benefits and improve public health while using Recovery Act funds to
maximize job preservation and creation in order to promote economic recovery.
The Diesel Emission Reductions Act (DERA) awards grants, via the Recovery Act, through the
National Clean Diesel Funding Assistance Program, the State Clean Diesel Grant Program, the
Clean Diesel Emerging Technologies Funding Assistance Program, and the SmartWay Clean
Diesel Finance Program. Of the $300 million, $6 million has been reserved for federal
management and oversight. To learn more about the Diesel Emissions Reductions Program

Diesel Reduction Site Stories
In partnership with Decker Coal Company, Montana is spending
funds to share the cost of the repowers of four oversize dump truck
engines owned an operated by Decker Coal Company. An estimated
356.4 tons of pollution will be removed from the air annually. The
$700,000 in federal funds is complimented by $233,333 in matching
funds from the company. These engines use Ultra Low-Sulfur Diesel
fuel but still emit high levels of particulate matter and toxics.
Repowering the engines from 2-cycle to current Tier compliant 4-
cycle engines will result in significant emissions reductions and fuel
savings estimated at 29,734 gallons per year.
Mississippi River Corridor received a grant to install emerging
diesel pollution reduction technologies on tugboat engines
operated by Ingram Barge on the Mississippi river. Thirteen
kits manufactured by ESW will be retrofitted on multiple older
two-stroke marine engines on six different vessels. The first
four kits were installed at the Ingram Barge facility in Paducah,
Kentucky on two vessels. This grant is part of an emerging
diesel technology program which provides opportunities to
advance cutting-edge technologies in the marketplace,
supporting environmental innovation and green jobs.
-------
Brownfields
A brownfield is a property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated
by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. Under
the Recovery Act, EPA received $100 million for the Brownfields Program.
The funds provide awards for brownfields assessment, cleanup, new and supplemental
Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) and job training cooperative agreements through a competitive
process. Communities receive technical assistance and targeted brownfields assessments via
regional contracts and Interagency Agreements (IA). Activities to be performed under these
cooperative agreements include, but are not limited to:
assessments to identify the contaminants at properties and initiate cleanup planning;
direct cleanup of brownfield properties;
community involvement activities for property selection, cleanup and reuse planning; and
training of participants in the handling and removal of hazardous substances, including
training for environmental jobs (including, environmental sampling, analysis, and
remediation techniques).
EPA awarded $87.3 million to communities for assessments and cleanups of contaminated land
through cooperative agreements. An additional $9.2 million was distributed by EPA regional
offices for targeted brownfields assessments in communities with the remaining $3.5 million
used for federal management and oversight. To learn more about the Brownfields Program
implementation of the Recovery Act, visit www.epa.gov/brownfields/eparecovery/.

Brownfield Site Stories
During the week of June 21, 2010, the City of Jamestown, Colorado completed
the cleanup of Elysian Park utilizing a $168,300 subgrant issued by the
Colorado Revolving Loan Fund. The park is a five-acre recreation area in the
center of town, built atop capped mine tailings in the 1970s. The initial cap had
since deteriorated exposing tailings including lead, copper, zinc, and other
metals. With continued erosion, the metals would have been further exposed
rendering the park off limits and contaminating nearby James Creek.
Approximately 6,500 cubic yards of fill was used to prevent future park users
from being exposed to the more than 32,000 cubic yards of mine tailings below.
With a new 24-inch cap in place and reseeding complete, Elysian Park will once
aeain serve as a. central nuhlic snace for this small mountain town
On May 10, 2010, EPA joined Montgomery County Community
College, Congressman Jim Gerlach, State Senator John Rafferty,
State Representative Thomas Quigley, and other elected officials
from Montgomery County at a dedication ceremony where
funding had been applied toward the cleanup of a former stone
and dirt parking lot contaminated with hazardous materials site
located in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. This site was cleaned up and
equipped with low-energy consumption LED lighting and more
than 130 new trees, shrubs, and bushes. The Pottstown Mercury
provided coverage of the event with a resulting article and photos:

Leaking Underground Storage Tanks
Across the country, approximately 100,000 releases from underground storage tanks remain to
be cleaned up. Under the Recovery Act, EPA received a supplemental appropriation of $200
million from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) Trust Fund for cleaning up
releases of contamination from federally-regulated underground storage tanks (USTs). The
LUST program helps create jobs and protect the environment and human health through:
emergency response and initial site hazard mitigation;
site investigations and assessments;
petroleum contamination release cleanups;
soil and groundwater monitoring;
enforcement actions and recovery of costs from liable tank owners and operators; and
public or community involvement activities.
EPA uses the money to assess and clean up contaminated LUST sites, which creates and retains
jobs and provides many economic and environmental benefits. EPA provided $190.7 million to
state and territorial UST programs through cooperative agreements, all of which were awarded
by September 30, 2009. EPA's regional UST programs distribute and manage $6.3 million to
clean up tank releases in Indian country. The remaining $3 million is used for federal
management and oversight. To learn more about the EPA's Office of Underground Storage
Tanks implementation of the Recovery Act, visitwww.epa.gov/OUST/eparecovery/index.htm.
Cumulative Program Accomplishments as of June 30, 2010
From the assessments and cleanups, EPA estimates that many jobs will be created or retained
and an estimated 2,000 assessments and at least 1,000 cleanups will result which will reduce the
backlog of over 100,000 sites remaining to be cleaned up. In addition to the results below,
Recovery Act funds have contributed to other assessments and cleanups at a total of 1,424 sites,
which did not begin as Recovery Act projects.

In Jonesport, Maine, soil contaminated by abandoned underground
storage tanks was removed along with the two tank and piping
systems. Approximately 300 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated
soil were excavated. Jonesport is benefitting from this cleanup
because its citizens do not have a municipal drinking water supply.
Private drinking water wells, which are not routinely monitored, are
now better protected because of the soil removal. Maine's
Department of Environmental Protection said this work could not
have been completed without the additional funds allocated from the
Recovery Act.
A Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality underground
storage tank project cleaned up the soil that contaminated the
groundwater at a BJ's Mini Mart in Decatur, Nebraska. Site work
included installing and operating a soil vapor extraction/air
sparge remediation system and conducting air monitoring. The
facility currently serves as a gas station and convenience store
with four underground storage tanks in operation. The soil and
groundwater contamination was the result of a release that
occurred during an UST system removal in the late 1990s.
Investigations revealed that the extent of contamination was
mostly contained on site. Although free product had not been
detected since 2000, high levels of dissolved contamination in a
monitoring well suggested free product could reappear when
groundwater conditions changed. Cleaning up this facility has
removed persistent soil and groundwater contamination.

-------
Superfund
The overall objectives for using the $600 million provided to Superfund are to initiate and
accelerate cleanup at National Priority List (NPL) sites, maximize job creation and retention, and
provide environmental and economic benefits. Of the funds provided to EPA, $18 million was
allocated for federal management and oversight. These objectives are being achieved by starting
new cleanup projects, accelerating cleanups at projects already underway, increasing the number
of workers and activities at cleanup projects, and returning affected sites to more productive use.
The Recovery Act funds provide immediate short and longer-term health, environmental, and
economic benefits at both new and ongoing Superfund remedial projects through the following:
treatment or removal of organic compound contamination;
treatment or removal of heavy metal contamination;
beginning or accelerating work to treat drinking water to meet Federal or state standards;
provision of alternate residential drinking water supplies; and
mitigation of damage to wildlife habitat and ecosystems and beginning of restoration
The job sectors benefiting from the Superfund Recovery Act funds include, but are not limited
to: cleanup operation and management, laboratory sampling and analysis, hazardous waste
disposal and management, construction and monitoring equipment rental, water and soil
treatment, and environmental engineering and management. To learn more about Superfund
implementation of the Recovery Act, visit www.epa.gov/superfund/eparecovery/index.html.
Cumulative Program Accomplishments as of June 30, 2010
The Superfund program has made significant progress over the past few months by allocating
funding to 51 sites and 61 projects. Of these, 26 are on new sites across the country. Visit

Superfund Site Stories
In Jacobsville, Indiana work to excavate contaminated soil from approximately 280
residential yards began in April 2010. For this project, 194 properties have been
excavated, 187 properties have been backfilled, and 181 have had restoration
activities completed. Over 8,500 cubic yards of lead- and arsenic-contaminated soil
have been disposed of to date. Work at all homes is projected to be complete by late
September or early October 2010. Based on customer surveys collected so far,
ratings of the work by homeowners have averaged 9.77 out of 10. The funding was
used to procure construction services from over eight different small business
subcontractors including Service Disable, Veteran Owned Business (SBVOB),
HUB-zone and women-owned small businesses resulting in a significant number of
local hires. At the peak of construction, over 110 personnel were working at the site.
In addition to the environmental benefits, the project will allow for an additional $3
million per year in peak power production at Shasta Dam.
In Cherokee County, Kansas funds are being used at the
Badger and Lawton subsite cleanups at Cherokee County.
These projects will result in the remediation of
nonresidential mining wastes. The work will address
approximately 683,000 cubic yards of wastes located on
119 acres. Funding created or maintained a total of 21 jobs
and allowed EPA to initiate and fund two years of a three-
year cleanup at the two subsites. The construction contract
was awarded and, as of June 2010, approximately 224,000
cubic yards of wastes have been remediated.

Inspector General
The Recovery Act provides the EPA Office of Inspector General (OIG) with $20 million through
September 30, 2012 for oversight and review. The OIG will assess whether EPA uses its $7.2
billion of Recovery Act funds in accordance with its requirements and meets the accountability
objectives as defined by OMB. The OIG will utilize the funds to determine whether:
funds are awarded and distributed in a prompt, fair, and reasonable manner;
recipients and uses of funds are transparent to the public, and the public benefits of these
funds are reported clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner;
funds are used for authorized purposes and fraud, waste, error, and abuse are mitigated;
projects funded under the Recovery Act avoid unnecessary delays and cost overruns;
program goals are achieved, including specific program outcomes and improved results
on broader economic indicators.
Cumulative Program Accomplishments as of June 30, 2010
The Agency has not received any whistleblower reprisal allegations and has received 48
Recovery Act complaints. To ensure accountability the OIG has provided outreach and training
to numerous groups and has identified a number of actions for improvement.
