Intended Use Plan and Project Priority Lists

The priorities and policies of the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB) are established through this Intended Use Plan

The Intended Use Plan (IUP) is a list of documents, developed by the Department every State/Federal Fiscal year, that sets the project priorities and the funding packages established in the New Jersey Water Bank (NJWB). The NJWB is a partnership between the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) to provide low-cost financing for the design, construction, and implementation of projects that help to protect, maintain and improve water quality and projects to ensure safe drinking water.

After this IUP is developed by the Department, it must undergo a public participation process, and be approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for the Department to be awarded the annual capitalization grants and additional federal funding available as a result of the BIL, which is used to finance water and wastewater infrastructure projects.
