Program

Fund Activity Categories

Category Explanation

The Clean Vessel Act of 1992 authorized a five-year competitive grant program for States. Its purpose included construction of pumpouts and dump stations which dispose of sewage from recreational boats. In 1998 the Act was re-authorized. Each proposal competes with all other proposals submitted to the federal government. There is no dollar allotment by geographic region or by population size of any area. Therefore, Illinois does not automatically receive a portion of the available federal dollars. Federal funding of the grant program was re-authorized for five years (federal fiscal year 1999 through 2003). Since 2003 the Act has been re-authorized annually.
