Leveraging funds to conserve our most The Border Environment Infrastructure Fund (BEIF) and the Project Development Assistance Program (PDAP) are key programs managed by NADBank that provide grants for development and construction of high-priority water and wastewater projects within the region spanning 100 kilometers on both sides of the border between the U.S. and Mexico.
These programs operate using funds approved by the U.S. Congress and channeled to NADBank by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the case of projects in Mexico, NADBank works closely with the Mexican National Water Commission (CONAGUA) and ensures that the BEIF grant is matched, dollar for dollar, with funds from Mexican sources.
and conveyance infrastructure Treatment plants designed to comply with environmental standards Project Eligibility Criteria Projects must meet the following criteria to be eligible to receive BEIF funding: Projects must address existing ecological or human health needs. Projects must provide a benefit to the U.S. side of the border. Only community infrastructure projects will be selected.
For drinking water projects, treatment plants and water distribution systems will be covered. Wastewater projects that involve direct or indirect discharges into water on the U.S. side of the border must aim to meet the corresponding U.S. norms, although the necessary infrastructure may be developed in phases. Any resulting flow reductions must not endanger U.S. or shared ecosystems.
Funds designated for irregular settlements in the United States will only be available when the respective state or municipal government has enacted a local law or zoning regulation that prohibits the development or expansion of communities without basic water, wastewater or other necessary infrastructure. Adequate planning, operation, maintenance and pretreatment provisions are a prerequisite to final design and construction financing.
Projects will have to meet the certification criteria established by the NADBank Board of Directors in order to receive a BEIF grant.

Complete the application form based on the region where BEIF Application EPA Region 6 Projects located in the border states of New Mexico, Texas, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. BEIF Application EPA Region 9 Projects located in the border states of Arizona, California, Baja California and Sonora.
Applications are received throughout the year and are evaluated periodically to determine their placement within the prioritized project ranking. As additional BEIF funding becomes available, new projects will be selected and incorporated into the development portfolio. How are projects evaluated and selected?
Because water and wastewater infrastructure needs in the border region exceed available grant funds, EPA uses a prioritization process to identify and select projects that address the most critical public health and environmental needs.
This process allows the program to allocate limited funding to projects with the highest benefit in terms of public health and environmental risk, cost-effectiveness, institutional capacity and sustainability. Each regional EPA office has developed a project prioritization methodology.
Once a project is selected, all activities for its development must be completed—including obtaining environmental authorizations and finalizing the design, as well as obtaining project certification and signing the BEIF grant agreement with NADBank—within a period of two and a half years from the notification of project selection.
Additionally, the works included in the project must be completed within three years after the BEIF grant is signed. Findings of No Significant Impact

Read articleOn June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
