II. HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT HUD PROGRAMS RELATED TO WATER RESOURCES: THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT CDBG PROGRAM AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING ASSISTANCE '701' PLANNING GRANT PROGRAM The Secretary is authorized to make Community Development Block Grants (CDBGs)to States, counties, cities, units of general local government and Indian Tribes for community development programs which may include, among other things, the acquisition, construction, or installation of: 1) water and sewer facilities; 2) flood and drainage facilities, where assistance for such facilities is unavailable under other Federal programs; and, 3) fire protection services and facilities, which are located in or serve areas where o~her community development grant activities are being carried out. Treatment works for sewage or industrial wastes are expressly pro- hibited. CDBGgrants may cover up to 100 percent of all program costs. The Secretary also is authorized to make Comprehensive Planning Assistance '701' Grants to States, metropolitan and non-metropolitan regional planning agencies, local governments, and Indian Tribes, for comprehensive planning including that for water and sewer planning. These '701' planning grants may cover up to two-thirds of the planning costs. Listings of water-related activities being undertaken under the two above listed HUD programs, i.e., CDBG grants and/or '701' grants, are not con- tained in the accompanying volumes. Only a small portion of any particular grantee's CDBG or '701' program relates to water resources.
