The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $2,773,000 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Formula Grant (CFDA 66.458) to the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER), operating as Hilo, to provide low-interest financing to subrecipients for projects addressing emerging contaminants in water systems. The primary objectives are to establish monitoring stations, develop hydrodynamic modeling, quantify toxin levels, implement satellite/drone-based monitoring, and create predictive models to track and forecast harmful algal blooms in the San José Lagoon. The grant will capitalize Hilo's CWSRF program to improve and protect water quality and public health in the San Juan area of Puerto Rico through infrastructure upgrades and other water quality initiatives over the 5-year grant period from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2028.
