Clean Water Indian Set-Aside Program | US EPA Clean Water Indian Set-Aside Program See where the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funded CWISA projects are located on the Indian Health Service Map . The Clean Water Indian Set-Aside Grant Program (CWISA) provides funding to Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Villages for wastewater infrastructure. The CWISA program is administered in cooperation with the Indian Health Service (IHS).
To be considered for CWISA program funding, Tribes must identify their wastewater needs to the IHS Sanitation Deficiency System. EPA uses the IHS Sanitation Deficiency System priority lists to identify and select projects for CWISA program funding.
In collaboration with the Indian Health Service (IHS), EPA has developed a version of the SepticSmart Homeowner's Guide that is tailored to reflect the unique factors of Tribes and homeowners on Tribal lands regarding the proper care of their systems.
Also, EPA and IHS developed a document tailored to Tribes on the use of a Responsible Management Entity (RME), a centralized approach for the management of septic systems, for oversight and maintenance.

Clean Water State Revolving Fund Emerging Contaminants Fact Sheet The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act appropriates $1 billion over five years (FY 2022 to FY 2026) to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund specifically to address emerging contaminants, including perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater, stormwater, and nonpoint source pollution.
The Clean Water Act authorized CWISA program funding via one-half of one percent (0. 5 percent) from the Construction Grants Program appropriations for fiscal years 1987 through 1990. In 1992, Congress gave EPA the authority to take a 0.
5 percent set-aside from the Clean Water Act Title VI (Clean Water State Revolving Fund) appropriation following the phase-out of the Construction Grants Program. Beginning with EPA's FY 2001 Appropriation's Bill, Congress has authorized an increase from 0. 5 percent to 1.
5 percent of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund's (CWSRF) appropriation for the CWISA set-aside. In FY 2010, Congress authorized an increase from 1. 5 percent to 2 percent from the CWSRF for the CWISA set-aside.
Since FY 2016, the CWISA appropriation from Congress has been either 2 percent of the CWSRF or $30 million, whichever is greater. CWISA Funding Table (pdf) Shows program funding amounts and the number of projects funded for the past decade. Tribal Infrastructure Task Force EPA collaborates extensively with other federal agencies to ensure effective and efficient implementation of its Tribal programs.
An example of this is the Infrastructure Task Force (ITF) . The primary focus of the ITF is to improve access to safe drinking water, basic sanitation, and solid waste services in Indian country.
The federal partners participating in the task force include: U.S. Department of Agriculture (Rural Development), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (Indian Health Service), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and U.S. Department of the Interior (Bureau of Indian Affairs).
The agencies accomplish the goals of the ITF by coordinating federal efforts in delivering water infrastructure, wastewater infrastructure, and solid waste management services to Tribal communities. This coordination leads to a streamlined approach to agency policies, regulations, and directives. Streamlining reduces the administrative burden for Tribal communities and facilitates access to funding.
