Emerging Contaminants in Small or Disadvantaged Communities Program (ECP) Interest Form

The purpose of this work is to conduct drinking water sampling under the Emerging Contaminants 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 Standard Operating Procedure. Through this effort, NMED-ECP investigates 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, ECP will reach out to public water systems that qualify. PWSs collaborating with ECP will help identify and ensure access to sampling locations and agree to work with ECP to ensure timely data collection as per EPA guidance.

If you are a small or disadvantaged community public water system and would like help with testing for PFAS or other emerging contaminants, please complete the following information so ECP has the most current contact to schedule the sampling.
