Report: Evaluation of the South Carolina Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program’s Capacity to Manage Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Funding
Report # 25-E-0035, June 11, 2025
Why We Did This Report
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this evaluation to determine South Carolina’s capacity to manage and use Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds for its Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.
Summary of Findings
South Carolina’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund, or CWSRF, program sufficiently meets two of the four dimensions of capacity: financial and organizational. South Carolina faces challenges related to stakeholder and human capital capacity. If South Carolina does not take steps to address those challenges, millions of IIJA dollars intended for water infrastructure improvements may not reach the state’s communities.
