SRF Earmark Data by Congressional Committee

Written By Janet Pritchard

Several congressional committees control the appropriations and reauthorization decisions that shape the State Revolving Funds (SRFs): the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, the Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works, and the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure. Earmarks taken from SRF appropriations divert funds from a revolving loan system into one-time grants that do not revolve—weakening the program’s ability to finance water infrastructure over the long term.

The factsheets below show how earmarks affect the states represented by the members of each committee. Select a committee to view data for its members’ states. For more information, read our full report on SRF earmarks, download a national factsheet for a quick overview of key findings, or download state-specific factsheets detailing impacts on each of the 50 states.

Janet supports EPIC’s work on the state policy frameworks governing state revolving funds for water infrastructure. As norms and tools for defining and addressing environmental justice concerns are evolved and prioritized, Janet works to fill a critical link by exploring how these norms and tools can be incorporated into the state policy frameworks that determine which communities and water infrastructure projects receive state and federal funding.
