    PENNVEST Intended Use Plan (IUP)

    One of the federal requirements for all the identified grant applications is the development of an IUP as part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) grant application. This plan describes how Pennsylvania intends to use the grant funding for that federal fiscal year. Eligible projects have been identified to demonstrate Pennsylvania’s ability to spend all the source funds as a requirement for grant award. However, a project does not have to be listed on a draft IUP to be considered for funding.
