The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $470,000 Project Grant under the Voluntary School and Child Care Lead Testing and Reduction Grant Program (CFDA 66.444) to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). The grant funding will support NHDES in implementing a voluntary program to test for and remediate lead in drinking water at local schools and child care centers in New Hampshire. Key activities include translating outreach materials, establishing remediation grant programs, enhancing partnerships, and improving communication of testing results and remediation efforts to stakeholders. The grant period runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2030. NHDES also awarded a $83,000 sub-grant to Truepani Inc., a small disadvantaged woman-owned business, to provide additional outreach, education, data management, and remediation tracking services to support the lead testing and remediation program. Truepani's expertise from similar efforts in other states will help NHDES efficiently implement the new state law requirements related to lead in drinking water at schools and childcare facilities.
