This $8,000,000 federal Project Grant, awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126), supports activities to reduce polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) pollution in the San Francisco Bay. The key products and services to be delivered include: Ongoing PCB monitoring in stormwater, urban sediments, and tributaries to the San Francisco Bay. Implementation of 10 PCB control programs, including monitoring and assessment to quantify stormwater runoff loads and load reductions achieved through treatment, source control, and other actions. Development of GIS maps and databases to identify watershed characteristics correlated with high, moderate, and low levels of PCB contributions to the Bay via stormwater. The award aims to reduce harm to the Bay's aquatic ecosystems, improve the recovery time of the Bay, and make the Bay more fishable for subsistence populations and underserved communities in the San Francisco Bay area. The project will be carried out by the City of San Pablo Public Works Department, the prime awardee, over a period of 5 years from January 2025 through December 2029.
