This Project Grant award of $2,001,872.00 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Columbia River Basin Restoration (CRBR) Program (CFDA 66.962) will support Oregon State University (OSU) in monitoring bioavailable toxic organic contaminants in the Lower Columbia River. Over a 5-year period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, OSU will monitor 15-20 locations in the Lower Columbia River, evaluate the toxicity of chemicals, and identify contaminant sources. OSU will also establish a $100,000 sub-award with Columbia Riverkeeper, a non-profit organization, to facilitate community engagement, contribute to project communications, and help identify priority sampling locations and analytical techniques. Expected outputs include 8 public events, 17 translated research products, 4 community-level reports, and a Quality Assurance Project Plan. The primary outcome is to provide regulatory agencies with information to establish evidence-based regulations and help Columbia River Basin communities develop strategies to protect their water resources.
