Emerging Contaminants in Small of Disadvantage Communities Program (ECP) Interest Form

The purpose of this work is to conduct drinking water sampling under the Emerging Contaminant Program (“ECP”) funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities grant, and in accordance with NMED’s PFAS sampling strategy. Through this effort, NMED-ECP will investigate the presence of PFAS and other emerging contaminants in finished drinking water and source water and support small or disadvantaged communities in meeting initial monitoring requirements for those contaminants by April 26, 2027, as established by SDWA (40 CFR 141.902(b)(1)). ECP will share compliance monitoring results with participating PWSs to be included in the 2027 Consumer Confidence Reports.

To complete the drinking water sampling, PWSs that choose to participate agree to work collaboratively with ECP to identify and ensure access to sampling locations. In addition, they agree to work with ECP to ensure timely data collection as per EPA guidance.
