What this amendment would do

SA 3730, submitted by Mrs. Shaheen, Ms. Collins, and Mr. King, is an amendment to bill S. 2296.

The purpose of this amendment is to provide a technical fix for the State Response to Contaminants Program. It aims to change and add the following to the Safe Drinking Water Act:

  • It modifies the language in section 1459A(j) regarding how contaminants are determined by the State.

  • It adds new eligibility criteria for grants issued by the Administrator to a State. Grants may be requested on behalf of:

    • A community determined by the State to be a disadvantaged community, or one that may become disadvantaged because of the activities in the program.

    • A community with fewer than 10,000 people that the Administrator decides cannot take on enough debt to pay for the program activities.

    • One or more owners of drinking water wells that are not connected to and are not part of public water systems.
