This $17,253,000 federal Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (CFDA 66.468) program provides funding to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) to capitalize the state's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program. The primary purpose of this grant is to address emerging contaminants in drinking water, with a focus on projects addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The funds can be used for eligible DWSRF activities, including technical assistance, program administration, and infrastructure projects to improve drinking water quality and protection statewide. This 3-year grant, with a period of performance from August 1, 2023 to December 31, 2026, will enable Ohio EPA to support drinking water system upgrades and compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, with a particular emphasis on addressing emerging contaminants like PFAS.
