Emerging Contaminants (EC) in Small or Disadvantaged Communities (SDC) Grant Program

The EPA’s EC-SDC program provides $5 billion over five years (FY22–FY26) to states and territories to help small or disadvantaged communities address emerging contaminants like PFAS in drinking water. Funds are distributed non-competitively, and eligible communities receive support through their states. No cost share is required, and program support continues until FY2026.
