Funding Details

5. Requested amount of the legislatively directed spending item:

$150,000.00

6. What is the purpose and how does the legislatively directed spending item provide a public benefit that is an appropriate use of taxpayer money?

The requested funding will support a feasibility study to identify practical, cost-effective strategies for reducing PFAS at the Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility, which serves 13 communities and treats approximately 30 million gallons of wastewater per day. PFAS are persistent contaminants with documented risks to water quality and public health, and future regulatory limits are expected. By evaluating targeted side-stream and regional treatment approaches, the study aims to achieve meaningful PFAS reductions at lower cost and energy use than treating the entire wastewater flow. This legislatively directed spending item provides a clear public benefit by protecting the Clinton River watershed, safeguarding downstream drinking water sources, and helping communities prepare for emerging PFAS regulations in a fiscally responsible manner. Investing in a study now reduces the likelihood of inefficient, fragmented, and more expensive compliance measures later, ultimately protecting taxpayers, ratepayers, and municipal budgets.

7. Has the legislatively directed spending item previously received or been awarded any of the following types of funding in the past 5 years?

No previous funding received

8. Estimated time frame for completion of the legislatively directed spending item project:
