The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) awarded a $260,000 cooperative agreement to the Science, Technology And Research Institute Of Delaware, a non-profit organization, to train public water system operators in Delaware on new maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water supplies. The project will install a pilot-scale PFAS treatment unit and complementary bench-scale systems at a public water system in Delaware, which will serve as experiential learning tools for operators. The project will also provide theoretical training and a stakeholder workshop to help drinking water system operators and engineers select cost-effective PFAS treatment technologies that do not negatively impact water quality. The goal is to ensure safe drinking water and reliable water filtration infrastructure for Delaware residents, in alignment with the EPA's FY2022-2026 Strategic Plan.
