State Formula Allocations for Sewer 

Overflow and Stormwater Reuse 

Grants 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is announcing the 

allocation formula for the Sewer 

Overflow and Stormwater Reuse 

Municipal Grants Program as required 

by the Clean Water Act (CWA). EPA is 

required to establish a formula to 

allocate proportional shares of the 

amount appropriated to state entities to 

fund actions that will help manage 

combined sewer overflows, sanitary 

sewer overflows, and stormwater. EPA 

was directed to develop a formula based 

on the relevant infrastructure needs 

submitted in the latest Clean 

Watersheds Needs Survey (CWNS) 

along with additional information 

considered appropriate by the EPA 

Administrator. A summary of the 

formula is included in this document. 

This document reflects EPA’s 

consideration of public comments 

received in response to its August 4, 

2020 Federal Register publication.

additional information, please contact

(mail code 4204M), Environmental 

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Statutory Language for the Allocation 

Formula 

III. Allocation Formula 

IV. Data Sources for the Allocation Formula 

I. Background 

The America’s Water Infrastructure 

Act (AWIA) of 2018 aims to improve 

water quality, expand infrastructure 

investments, enhance public health, 

increase jobs, and bolster the economy. 

Section 4106 of the AWIA amended 

Section 221 of the Clean Water Act 

(CWA) to reauthorize the Sewer 

Overflow and Stormwater Reuse 

Municipal Grants Program. This 

amended statute directs EPA to award 

grants to the states, the District of 

Columbia, and U.S. territories 

(collectively referred to as ‘‘states’’) for 

the purpose of providing grants to a 

municipality or municipal entity for 

planning, design, and construction of: 

1. Treatment works to intercept, 

transport, control, treat, or reuse 

municipal combined sewer overflows 

(CSOs), sanitary sewer overflows 

(SSOs), or stormwater; and 

2. Any other measures to manage, 

reduce, treat, or recapture stormwater or 

subsurface drainage water. 

EPA announced a proposed formula 

and methodology in the Federal 

Register on August 4, 2020 (85 FR 

47205), and requested public comment 

on the methodology of this allotment 

formula including the factors and data 

used in determining CSO, SSO, and 

stormwater infrastructure needs. The 

final formula announced in this 

document reflects EPA’s consideration 

of public comments. EPA’s response to 

comments is available at https://

www.regulations.gov/, Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OW–2020–0282. 

II. Statutory Language for the 

Allocation Formula 

According to the CWA, funds 

appropriated for this program shall be 

allocated to the states according to their 

total proportional needs for municipal 

CSOs, SSOs, and stormwater as 

identified in the most recent CWNS and 

any other additional information 

considered appropriate by the EPA 

Administrator. This is described in 

Section 221(g)(2) of the CWA: 

‘‘the Administrator shall use the amounts 

appropriated to carry out this section for 

fiscal year 2020 and each fiscal year 

thereafter for making grants to States under 

subsection (a)(1) in accordance with a 

formula to be established by the 

Administrator, after providing notice and an 

opportunity for public comment, that 

allocates to each State a proportional share of 

such amounts based on the total needs of the 

State for municipal combined sewer overflow 

controls, sanitary sewer overflow controls, 

and stormwater identified in the most recent 

detailed estimate and comprehensive study 

submitted pursuant to section 516 of this title 

and any other information the Administrator 

considers appropriate.’’ 

The CWNS includes documented 

infrastructure needs. However, the most 

recent CWNS in 2012 did not include 

complete CSO, SSO, and stormwater 

infrastructure needs for every state and 

territory. In order to equitably allocate 

appropriated funds based on existing 

infrastructure needs, as directed in the 

amended Section 221 of the CWA, it is 

appropriate to include additional factors 

to fully characterize needs for CSOs, 

SSOs, and stormwater management. 

EPA consulted with state 

representatives and EPA regional 

coordinators experienced in managing 

EPA grants at the state level on a series 

of supplemental factors. With the 

feedback of these partners, EPA selected 

three additional factors based on the 

common availability of data across the 

states and the ability of these factors to 

serve as surrogates for CSO, SSO, and 

stormwater infrastructure needs. The 

three additional factors are annual 

average precipitation, total population, 

and urban population. The rationale for 

these additional factors includes the 

following: 

(1) Annual average precipitation is a 

factor because higher amounts of 

precipitation lead to greater CSO, SSO, 

and stormwater infrastructure needs to 

manage greater flows. 

(2) Total population is a factor 

because the larger the population of a 

state, the more infrastructure is 

generally required to serve them. 

(3) Urban population is a factor 

because there are relatively higher CSO, 

SSO, and stormwater infrastructure 

needs in urban environments from 

increased impervious surfaces, which 

generate increased wet weather flows 

during precipitation events. 

When combined with the needs 

determined in the CWNS, these three 

factors improve the representation of the 

CSO, SSO, and stormwater 

infrastructure needs in each state. This 

collective approach for assessing CSO, 

SSO, and stormwater infrastructure 

needs is the basis for this proposal on 

how to derive an allocation formula for 

appropriating funds for this program. 

III. Allocation Formula 

EPA will use the following 

methodology to allocate appropriated 

funds to the states for the Sewer 

Overflow and Stormwater Reuse 

Municipal Grant Program. 

Methodology 

1. Reserve 1% of the federal 

appropriation for EPA’s administrative 

expenses per Section 221(h) of the 

CWA.
