Description
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications from eligible applicants for technical assistance and support that will enhance communication and coordination between EPA and the states to protect ground water.

The successful applicant will provide leadership and support in assisting states and tribes with UIC primacy in highlighting UIC and source water protection issues, prioritizing these issues, and formulating potential strategies for solutions and recommendations to states. The applicant will work with state agency officials who are responsible for implementing ground water protection programs to identify strategies that address solutions. The successful applicant will monitor, coordinate, represent, and advance state environmental interests among states and to EPA.
