| [미국] EPA 수질, 공중보건 위해 네바다에 $15M 지급
환경보호국(EPA)는 네바다주의 수질오염 제어 및 식수시설 프로젝트를 개선하기 위해서 네바다환경보호국에 깨끗한 물 회정 기금 주 $6.5 M와 식수회전 기금 주 $8.5M을 지급했다
NDEP는 식수 및 폐수 인프라 업그레이드를 위해 저렴한비용으로 대출을 제공하기위해서 기금을 사용한다 . 식수SRF 는 식수인프라시스템을 지원하기 위한 재정지원을 제공하는 동안 NDEP의 깨끗한 물 상태 회전기금(SPF)는 도시 폐수 처리 프로젝트를 위한 자금을 제공한다.
지난 24년동안 EPA는네바다 물 프로젝트 자금을 통해서 $320M를 제공하고있다고 태평상남서부의 EPA지역관리자 Jared Blumenfeld가 발표했다.
이런 투자 및 연합레벨에서 창조적인 자금조달이 없었다면 깨끗하고 안정한 식수 및 적절한 폐수처리를 위한 기본적인 것들을 네바다의 지역사회가 제공받지 못했을 것이라고 밝혔다.

Nevada awarded $15M by EPA to improve water quality, public health
To improve water pollution control and drinking water infrastructure projects in the state of Nevada, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) a $6.5 million grant for its Clean Water State Revolving Fund and an $8.5 million grant for its Drinking Water State Revolving Fund.
NDEP will use the funds to provide low-cost loans for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure upgrades. NDEP's Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) provides financing for municipal wastewater treatment projects, while its Drinking Water SRF provides financial assistance for supporting drinking water infrastructure systems.
"In the last 24 years, EPA has provided over $320 million in funding for Nevada water projects alone," said Jared Blumenfeld, EPA's Regional Administrator for the Pacific Southwest.
"Without this investment and creative financing at the federal level, many communities would not be able to provide for Nevadans' basic needs for clean, safe drinking water and proper wastewater treatment."
Projects previously funded using SRF loans include new well construction to decrease arsenic levels in drinking water supplied to the town of Tonopah, as well as the construction of an advanced wastewater treatment facility in Clark County to reduce the amount of bacteria and chemicals entering Lake Meade.
The EPA has awarded over $170 million in federal funding for Nevada's Clean Water State SRF since the inception of the program in 1989. NDEP increases the investment in Nevada by leveraging the federal dollars on the bond market.
The funds are used for a wide variety of water quality projects, including nonpoint source pollution control, watershed protection or restoration, water and energy efficiency projects, wastewater reclamation, and traditional municipal wastewater treatment projects.
Since 1997, Nevada's Drinking Water SRF has received almost $150 million in federal funding. Funds to the program support drinking water infrastructure, programs such as drinking water plant operator training and technical assistance.
