Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Progress Report—Year Three
Under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, or IIJA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency was provided with over $60 billion in appropriations for Agency programs, including the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Programs, the Superfund Program, geographic programs, and more. Since the IIJA’s enactment, the EPA Office of Inspector General has been conducting timely and relevant oversight to ensure that IIJA funds—taxpayer dollars—are used effectively. Our third annual IIJA progress report covers February 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025, and provides an update on our oversight of the EPA’s use of IIJA funds.
Summary
This report provides updates on the oversight work the OIG planned, initiated, or completed during its third year of IIJA oversight. It also details the OIG’s declaration of 2025 as the “Year of Innovation” and highlights the OIG's continued efforts to engage IIJA stakeholders.
This fourth edition of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Oversight Plan summarizes our ongoing and planned audits, evaluations, and other engagements concerning the EPA’s implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Pub.

Summary
This document provides an update to our plan for oversight of the EPA’s implementation of the IIJA.
The 24 projects summarized in this plan relate to the EPA’s IIJA implementation work, although some of these projects have received or will receive partial support from annual appropriations. The appendix to this IIJA Oversight Plan illustrates which of the EPA’s IIJA programs our 24 projects address.
