Description
The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources (DANR), through the Board of Water and Natural Resources, supports sanitary and storm sewer infrastructure improvements and maintenance. Assistance comes through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Consolidated Water Facilities Construction Program (CWFCP), combining grants and low-interest loans with possible loan principal forgiveness.
Supported work includes wastewater treatment, sewer rehabilitation and expansion, and stormwater management. Special consideration may apply to economic development opportunities, service expansion, and regionalization or consolidation. Applicants should expect some funding to be an SRF loan unless an exception applies. SRF facilities planning evaluates needs, costs, alternatives, and environmental impacts, with agency review and public participation.
