The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) recently awarded $160,000 in Technical Assistance Grants (TAGs) to four municipalities and four community groups. The TAG program provides funding to enhance citizen participation in assessment and cleanup activities at waste disposal sites in local communities. Awards may be used to obtain expert assistance, increase public participation, and provide public education regarding site cleanup. Grant recipients aim to address PFAS and other contaminants of concern affecting soil, surface water, and groundwater.
A full list of grant recipients is available in the MassDEP press release. For more information on the TAG program, visit the MassDEP website.
