Programmatic Environmental Assessment for the Community Grants Program

Project Description

EPA has prepared a Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) to analyze the potential environmental impacts related to the issuance of grant funding for the planning, design, and construction of eligible drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure projects, and water quality protection projects under the Community Project Funding (CPF)/Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS), otherwise known as the Community Grants Program. Projects receiving Community Grants Program funding must also comply with applicable federal laws, regulations, Executive Orders, and other state and local environmental reviews. The PEA presents nationwide information on existing conditions and discusses potential impacts and mitigation measures that might typically occur during construction and operation of broad project types. This PEA provides mechanisms to evaluate site specific conditions and impacts for individual projects and to determine if projects impacts fall within the scope of the PEA.
