Summary:

Discusses the appropriations process for EPA water infrastructure programs, focusing on the practice of using appropriations "earmarks" to designate funds for the assistance of communities with high water infrastructure funding needs. Provides background on EPA involvement in assisting wastewater treatment and drinking water infrastructure projects, and examines issues related to the use of earmarked special purpose project grants to fund water infrastructure improvement projects, including earmarking trends, earmarks for specific cities, lack of special project grants in FY2007, and policy implications.
