PRESIDENT'S FY15 BUDGET CUTS EPA, SRF FUNDING

摘要

The $3.9 trillion fiscal year 2015 budget request sent by President Obama to Congress in March proposes new cuts to EPA and the drinking water and clean water state revolving funds (DWSRF and CWSRF). The President's plan would provide EPA with $7.9 billion next year, about $300 million below both its final FY14 appropriation and the amount of funding Obama proposed for the agency last year. The SRFs would bear the brunt of the cuts, with the DWSRF and CWSRF together reduced by $581 million compared to their FY14 funding levels. The DWSRF would be cut to $757 million (down from $906.9 million this year), while the CWSRF would have its funding cut to around $1 billion (compared to nearly $1.5 billion this year).
