This Cooperative Agreement award from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - Gulf of America Program (CFDA 66.475) provides $748,856 to the University of Texas at Austin to support efforts to improve the water quality of the Gulf of Mexico. The funded activities include using machine learning to analyze per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastewater treatment facility influent, effluent, and sludge, as well as in estuarine water and sediment samples. The University of Texas at Austin will perform the primary activities, with a subrecipient conducting chemical fingerprinting using machine learning. The expected outcomes include identifying key sources of PFAS contamination to support data-driven management decisions aimed at reducing PFAS pollution and achieving regulatory compliance in coastal communities. The project will benefit the residents and communities in Nueces County, Texas through improved water quality.
