This Cooperative Agreement award of $120,000.00 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) will fund research at the University of Delaware to determine the public's response to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as an emerging environmental pollutant. The project will use experimental economics techniques to explore the public's willingness to purchase at-home water filters and the impact of receiving...
This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), is intended to train public water system operators in Delaware on new maximum contaminant levels for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and provide guidance on cost-effective PFAS treatment technologies. The $260,000 award will fund the installation of a PFAS pilot-scale unit and bench-scale system at a public water system in...
The Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 awarded the Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware a $7.555 million Formula Grant under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund program (CFDA #66.468) for the period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2029. The funding will capitalize Delaware's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to address emerging contaminants in drinking water, with a focus on projects addressing perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The State's Intended Use...
The Environmental Protection Agency Region 3 awarded the Delaware Department of Health a $231,000 Formula Grant under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442). The purpose of this October 1, 2022 award is to assist Delaware in conducting sampling of household drinking water in small, underserved, and disadvantaged communities for emerging contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program aims to understand per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning in wastewater treatment plant biosolids, accumulation in agricultural soils, and develop mitigation strategies. Key activities include: 1) sampling WWTPs nationwide to study PFAS loading and biosolid characteristics, 2) leveraging existing data to identify critical parameters for PFAS...
This $558,005 Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) will fund a 3-year study on the occurrence, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in natural and constructed wetlands. The key objectives are to: 1) understand if PFAS concentrations increase through the wetland food chain and evaluate the ability of wetlands to remove these chemicals; 2)...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $483,623.40 and funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development Program (CFDA 15.506), aims to optimize the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water and wastewater through enhanced coagulation and flocculation processes. The project, led by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), will investigate the use of hydrophobic ion-pairing as a...
This Project Grant award of $620,000 was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act (WRRA) Program (CFDA 15.805) to Clemson University. The project aims to determine what portion of total organic fluorine (TOF) measured in U.S. surface waters is attributable to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) versus fluorine-containing pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Activities include measuring TOF, PFAS, and fluorinated chemicals in surface water samples...
This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) provides $619,816 to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation to conduct research on the effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on biogeochemical cycling, fate, and transport in wetlands. The 3-year project aims to: 1) identify the impacts of biogeochemical processes on PFAS water treatment in constructed wetlands, 2)...
This $558,203 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Assistance to State Water Resources Research Institutes program (CFDA 15.805) supports research at Purdue University to study the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments. Key project activities include: Integrating microfluidic sensors for rapid PFAS detection, field sampling of biofilms and macroinvertebrates, identifying factors influencing...
