American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Water Quality and Drinking Water Projects 
Under President Barack Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, in June 2009 the Maryland Department of the Environment received $121.6 million for Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund projects. MDE received an unprecedented $3.7 billion in requests for this funding from across the State. Funds were allocated based on readiness to proceed, as well as maximum environmental and health benefits.
A total of $92.8 million will be used for pollution reduction projects, including wastewater treatment improvements, sewer upgrades, and stormwater runoff controls; $26.4 million will go to improvements for drinking water treatment, water storage, and wells.
