The group received a grant in 2008 to build capacity in our neighborhood organization to engage the community in understanding and monitoring the contamination to groundwater. The water is carrying PERC in a groundwater plume beneath homes, a public school playing fields and community gardens. Funds will be used to hire a resident to coordinate the project along with outreach materials and translation fees.
