EPA announced that it “is making available $1 billion in grant funding through President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help communities that are on the frontlines of PFAS contamination to reduce PFAS in drinking water in communities facing disproportionate impacts.” The funds are the first of a total $5 billion expected to be made available through 2026.
Per the EPA: “The goal of the Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities grant program is to have states, territories, and tribes prioritize grant funding in small or disadvantaged communities to focus exclusively on addressing ECs in drinking water, including PFAS.”
