This $82,961,000 Formula Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442) provides funding to the State of California to address emerging contaminants in drinking water. The key activities under this award include testing and monitoring for contaminants such as PFAS, 1,2,3-trichloropropane, manganese, methyl tert-butyl ether, and perchlorate, as well as planning and designing treatment solutions. The State of California Water Resources Control Board will subaward funds to public water systems to support eligible projects and activities to help small and disadvantaged communities comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act and mitigate risks from emerging contaminants. Expected outcomes include characterizing the occurrence of PFAS and other emerging contaminants, and identifying optimal treatment solutions to address the contamination, ultimately benefiting California residents living in small and underserved communities.
