This funding includes $9 billion for drinking water and $1 billion for clean water investments. Additionally, $12 billion from the law supports general drinking water initiatives, including PFAS treatment. These investments are part of the Justice40 Initiative, designed to ensure that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments flow to disadvantaged communities, thereby promoting environmental justice.<\/p>\n<p>On July 26, the EPA and the U.S. Army announced a collaborative project to sample and test private drinking water wells near Army installations for PFAS. This initiative, part of a national implementation, aims to inform remedial actions if PFAS is detected in drinking water, addressing potential contamination affecting nearby residents. The project initially targets nine installations, possibly expanding to additional locations based on initial results.<\/p>\n<p>If PFAS is found in groundwater or drinking water above the new Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) set by the EPA, the Army will work with the EPA and state regulators to assess necessary actions to mitigate exposure. The EPA and the Army will continue to share information and update their respective PFAS websites as new data becomes available.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.environmentenergyleader.com\/2024\/07\/biden-harris-administration-takes-critical-action-to-protect-military-communities-from-pfas\/\">Environment Energy Leader<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-565\/\">Biden-Harris Administration Takes Critical Action to Protect Military Communities from PFAS<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,721,4860],"class_list":["post-132717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-military","tag-pfas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132717\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
