Did you know that more than 200 people in the U.S. die every year from CO poisoning due to products like portable generators, portable heaters, charcoal grills, and camping stoves?

Many Americans own portable generators to power their homes after a storm. However, they don't realize that one portable generator can produce the same amount of carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars. Help protect your family this hurricane season by watching our safety video on how to safely use a portable generator.

EPA Announces the Final Consumer Confidence Report Rule Revisions

Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, June 5, 2024
On May 15th, 2024, the EPA announced the final Consumer Confidence Report Rule Revisions to make annual drinking water quality reports more understandable and accessible to the public. Starting in 2027, the final rule will ensure that these reports are easier to read and support access to translations in appropriate languages while enhancing information about lead in drinking water. EPA is also taking steps to streamline the delivery of reports by encouraging electronic methods.

Water systems are currently required to provide annual drinking water reports to customers each year, and with this rule systems serving over 10,000 customers will be required to distribute reports twice per year. The final rule also introduces a new reporting requirement that will provide EPA with better information to make decisions on oversight, enforcement, regulatory revisions, and training and technical assistance. The final rule will require states to submit compliance monitoring data they already receive from public water systems to EPA annually. 

Find out more information, including the final rule, on the EPA's CCR Rule Revisions webpage.

Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Grant Program Accepting Applications

Posted By IAMU, Wednesday, June 5, 2024
On May 30th, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the second round of the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program. This 5-year $2.5 billion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) program is for the deployment of alternative fueling infrastructure, including electric vehicle charging. The program is split into two grant funding categories:

  • Community Charging and Fueling Grants; and
  • Alternative Fuel Corridor Grants
 
Public power is uniquely eligible to apply for these grants. In the first round, seven public power communities were awarded funding out of 47 selected projects. For this round, FHWA increased the distance EV charging projects can be from an Alternative Fuels Corridor to five miles.
 
New applications are due in grants.gov by August 28, 2024. FHWA anticipates the total funding for this round to be approximately $1.3 billion.
 
Applicants who were not successful in the first round can request that their previous submission be reconsidered. While the news release states that FHWA will contact these applicants directly, APPA recommends interested members follow the directions in the NOFO and email FHWA at CFIGrants@dot.gov by July 1, 2024, with the request for reconsideration.
