The San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) was awarded a $2,600,100 project grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the EPA's Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126). The grant, with a period of performance from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2027, will support SFEI's "PFAS Sources to Solutions" project to identify and prevent PFAS pollution in the San Francisco Bay. The key project activities include: 1) monitoring PFAS levels in Bay water, sediment, and biota, and calculating PFAS loads from urban stormwater runoff and municipal wastewater; 2) identifying PFAS-containing consumer products as sources to support the California Department of Toxic Substances Control's regulatory program; and 3) communicating findings to the public, institutions, and businesses to reduce PFAS pollution. The project includes a $209,600 sub-award to Indiana University for product PFAS content measurements. The expected outcomes are protection of human health and the Bay's ecosystem by reducing PFAS sources over the long term.
