Abstract

Using data from the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System compliance and the Clean Water State Revolving Funds (CWSRF) for wastewater treatment plants in nine states between 2010 and 2018, we examine (1) the effect of noncompliance on the distribution and size of awarded CWSRF loans, and (2) the effects of the CWSRF provision and award size on postfunding compliance. We observe that funded facilities have poorer compliance records than the unfunded ones and that funded facilities decrease violations within two years after receiving financial support. On average, a $50 million CWSRF loan decreases violations by one count within two postfunding years.

财政援助和环保合规

利用2010年至2018年间9个州废水处理厂的国家污染物排放消除系统合规性和清洁水州循环基金（CWSRF）的数据，我们研究了（1）不合规对CWSRF贷款分配和规模的影响，以及（2）CWSRF条款和奖励规模对资金后合规性的影响。我们观察到，受资助的设施比未受资助的机构有更差的合规记录，受资助设施在获得财政支持后的两年内减少了违规行为。平均而言，一笔5000万美元的CWSRF贷款在融资后的两年内减少了一项违规行为。
