In view of the potential to seriously impair water quality, landfills are now an eligible category for financing under the EIFP. Since many components of landfill construction and closure restore or protect water quality, significant portions of these projects are eligible to receive low-cost loans under the "Financing Program."

The "Financing Program" provides financing to publicly owned landfills for construction and closure projects that prevent, reduce, control or treat leachate.
