Reduction in Lead Exposure Via Drinking Water

This modification reflects an extension of the closing date for this RFA; an extension of the date when questions must be received by EPA; and a change in the URL link reflected in the Grants.gov synopsis where the revised RFA can be found. PLEASE REFER TO THE AMENDED RFA -

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications from eligible applicants as described in Section III.A to reduce lead in drinking water in disadvantaged communities through infrastructure and/or treatment improvements or facility remediation in schools and child care facilities. The goal of these projects is to address conditions that contribute to increased concentrations of lead in drinking water. The lead reduction projects should proceed to implementation upon award. The proposed projects support the Agency's Strategic Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 - 2022, Goal 1: A Cleaner, Healthier Environment: Deliver a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment for all Americans and future generations by carrying out the Agency's core mission, Objective 1.2: Provide for Clean and Safe Water. The EPA's Strategic Plan is available at https://www.epa.gov/planandbudget/strategicplan.html. All applications must be for projects that support the goals and objectives identified above. National Priority Areas identified in this announcement are for: (1) Reduction of Lead Exposure in the Nation's Drinking Water Systems through Infrastructure and Treatment Improvements and (2) Reduction of Children's Exposure to Lead in Drinking Water at Schools and Child Care 2 | Page Facilities. Assisting drinking water systems, schools, child care facilities, and communities nationwide to remediate sources of lead in their drinking water to minimize lead exposure is a key priority for the Agency.

This voids the previous modification, and reflects a return to the original closing date of this RFA (April 20, 2020), an a return to the original due date for questions about this RFA to be submitted to EPA (April 3, 2020). Information regarding extensions to this RFA will be forthcoming. -
