Montana Department of Environmental Quality and Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation
The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) co-administer the State Revolving Fund Programs. DEQ provides support and guidance to the technical side of the projects and DNRC provides the financial support. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is the administering agency and assures that the technical and programmatic requirements of the program are met. The DNRC issues the State’s general obligation bonds and makes loans to the project borrowers.

The Montana Legislature established two State Revolving Fund (SFR) Loan Programs, the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) and the Water Pollution Control State Revolving Fund (WPCSRF), federally referred to as the Clean Water State Revolving Fund, that provide at or below market interest rate loans to eligible Montana entities. These programs are funded with capitalization grants from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and are matched by 20% with State issued general obligation bonds. Combined, these two sources of funds create the “state revolving fund” from which loans are made and borrower repayments revolve to provide loans for future infrastructure projects.
