This bill makes the District of Columbia eligible to receive grants under the Clean Water Act for all of the costs for constructing treatment works (e.g., systems used to store or treat sewage or industrial wastes). Thus, the bill waives the requirement for the District to match federal grant funds.

Bill 117 hr 3061, also known as the "District of Columbia Water Pollution Control Act," aims to amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to waive matching requirements for certain grants specifically designated for the District of Columbia. This bill is intended to provide financial assistance to the District of Columbia for water pollution control projects without requiring the district to provide matching funds.

By waiving the matching requirements, the bill aims to make it easier for the district to access much-needed funding for water pollution control projects.

In addition to waiving matching requirements, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to water pollution control in the District of Columbia. These provisions may include guidelines for how the grant funds can be used, reporting requirements for the district, and any other necessary regulations to ensure that the funds are used effectively and efficiently. Overall, Bill 117 hr 3061 is focused on providing financial assistance to the District of Columbia for water pollution control projects by waiving matching requirements for certain grants. This bill aims to support the district in improving its water quality and infrastructure, ultimately benefiting the residents and environment of the District of Columbia.
