The loan terms can be customized to meet the needs of farmers, homeowners, and small and disadvantaged communities through principle forgiveness and other financial assistance. Eligible costs include planning, design, construction, and equipment. In addition to traditional agricultural best management practices, eligible CWSRF project types include projects that pro- mote energy efficiency; projects with al- ternative energy sources, like solar panels, wind turbines, biogas etc., are also eligi- ble. Other non-point source projects such as those related to green infrastructure, wa- ter conservation, water reuse, forestry management, source water protection, and septic system repairs also qualify.
