This EPA Region 8 Formula Grant award of $7,640,000 provides funding to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program authorized by the Safe Drinking Water Act. The primary purpose is to address emerging contaminants in drinking water, with a focus on projects addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The grant capitalizes Montana's DWSRF program, allowing DEQ to make low-interest loans or provide principal forgiveness to communities for eligible drinking water infrastructure improvements. Additionally, the funding can be used for set-aside activities related to PFAS and other emerging contaminants, providing public health benefits statewide. This performance period for this award is from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2029.
