California Pollution Control Financing Authority

Overview

The California Pollution Control Financing Authority (CPCFA) has been providing low-cost innovative financing to California businesses since 1972.

As a “conduit issuer” of tax-exempt private activity bonds, CPCFA is able to facilitate low cost financing to qualified waste and recycling projects. Other projects to control pollution can qualify for tax-exempt financing as allowed by federal tax law. Examples of recent assistance include projects to purchase clean-air vehicles by waste companies, recycle used oil, convert animal waste to clean burning fuel, and develop construction and demolition debris recycling programs.

CPCFA works with participating financial institutions to assist small business with loans up to $2.5 million. CPCFA also assists with the clean-up of contaminated sites through a $60 million grant and loan program and a site-assessment loan program.
