This Project Grant award from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Water Resources Research Act Program (CFDA 15.805) provides $619,292 to Oregon State University (OSU) to investigate the sources, environmental pathways, and potential health risks of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in fish from the Columbia Slough and Columbia River in Oregon. The key activities include developing chemical fingerprints to identify PFAS sources, advancing analytical methods to improve PFAS...
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...
This federal Formula Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442) provides $18,914,000.00 to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to implement projects and activities to address emerging contaminants, such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in small or disadvantaged communities in Oregon. Key activities to be performed include...
This Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Superfund State, Political Subdivision, and Indian Tribe Site-Specific Cooperative Agreements program (CFDA 66.802), provides $175,000.00 to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) to perform site characterization activities such as preliminary assessments and site inspections at potential or confirmed hazardous waste sites. The key activities include conducting site screenings, preliminary...
This Project Grant award, provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509), aims to assess local watersheds and food sources in the Peskotomuhkati (Passamaquoddy) tribal homelands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulation. The $1,558,555 award, effective from December 1, 2024 to May 12, 2025, will (1) quantify PFAS and heavy metals within local water sources and fish species, (2) evaluate the...
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $3,458,178 Project Grant to the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) under the Geographic Programs - Columbia River Basin Restoration (CFDA 66.962) program. The funding will support Ecology's long-term toxics monitoring and reduction efforts in the Columbia River Basin. The project has two main components: a synoptic survey of major tributaries to assess toxics loads and concentrations, and the use of fish otolith...
This $1,598,849 Project Grant award was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program (CFDA 66.509) to the University of Utah. The goal is to understand the sewage sludge treatment processes contributing to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) partitioning into biosolids, PFAS accumulation in agricultural soils, and potential mitigation strategies. Key activities include national sampling of wastewater treatment...
This $1,599,999 Project Grant award from the Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program aims to understand how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can bioaccumulate in native plants and animals of cultural significance to tribal communities in Maine. The key activities include: (1) quantifying PFAS uptake into soil and crops from contaminated irrigation water, chemicals, and environmental conditions; (2) developing on-farm tools to identify...
This $1,600,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Research Program aims to test engineering controls to enable continued beneficial use of biosolids on agricultural soil while producing PFAS-free products. The key activities include: (1) modeling PFAS solid-water coefficients and soil properties with/without powdered activated carbon, (2) developing machine learning models for PFAS accumulation predictions, (3)...
