The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 awarded $1.6 million to the City of Pomona under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) on August 4, 2025, to design and construct a Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) groundwater treatment facility. The facility will remove 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contaminants from groundwater produced at Well 34, bringing drinking water into compliance with Safe Drinking Water Standards and returning the well to active service. The project activities include project management, preliminary engineering services and site survey, design drawings and technical specifications, construction services, and permit requirements, with a completion date of August 3, 2030.

Upon completion, the treatment facility is anticipated to deliver 100% design plans and specifications, quarterly progress reports, and draft and final project reports, along with a post-construction on-site EPA review. The project outcomes will increase the City's water supply by 1,300 acre-feet annually while providing safe drinking water to Pomona residents and businesses. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement, and pre-award costs are approved back to August 4, 2025. This congressionally mandated project was authorized under the 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act.
