President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law expanded the eligibility of WIIN funding to include remediating lead in water that children drink, in addition to testing and compliance monitoring

July 24, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO – Today, at an event in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Assistant Administrator for Water Radhika Fox and EPA New England Regional Administrator David W. Cash, along with U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and U.S. Representative Katherine Clark, announced $58 million in grant funding from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to protect children from lead in drinking water at schools and childcare facilities across the country, including $5,372,000 for California. Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, activities that remove sources of lead in drinking water are now, for the first time, eligible to receive funding through the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act (WIIN). This grant funding, which is provided to states, territories, and Tribes, advances the Biden-Harris Administration’s Lead Pipe and Paint Action Plan and unprecedented commitment to delivering clean water for all communities, especially historically marginalized and low-income communities.       

“Reducing lead in drinking water is a top priority for the Biden-Harris Administration and the EPA. We are taking a holistic approach to tackling this critical public health issue in California,” said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Martha Guzman. “By harmonizing regulations with historic infrastructure investments under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, while also providing technical assistance to disadvantaged communities, EPA is taking bold action to protect all our children from lead in drinking water.” 

EPA is also releasing a revised grant implementation document that outlines new authority provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to fund activities that remove sources of lead in drinking water. The Voluntary School and Child Care Lead Testing and Reduction Grant Program funds voluntary lead testing, compliance monitoring, and for the first-time, lead in drinking water remediation projects. Lead remediation actions may include but are not limited to the removal, installation, and replacement of internal plumbing, lead pipes or lead connectors, faucets, water fountains, water filler stations, point-of-use devices, and other lead-free apparatus related to drinking water. 

The grant funding announced today is provided to states, territories, and Tribes through the WIIN. The grant program requires the use of guidance from EPA’s 3Ts (Training, Testing, and Taking Action) Program to support schools and childcare facilities in making progress on reducing lead in drinking water. Tools and resources from the 3Ts Program help states, territories, and Tribes provide technical assistance and take action to support the health and safety of children in early care and education settings. The program also helps advance President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative, which is helping address environmental injustice by ensuring that the benefits of federal investments in clean water, clean energy, and other programs reach communities that are marginalized, underserved, and overburdened by pollution. 

Today’s announcement advances the goals of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Lead Pipe and Paint Action Plan and EPA’s Strategy to Reduce Lead Exposures and Disparities in U.S. Communities. Under these initiatives, EPA is developing the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements to strengthen the Agency’s regulatory framework. EPA intends to propose requirements that, along with other actions, would result in the replacement of all lead service lines as quickly as is feasible. EPA is also investing $15 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to remove lead service lines. In addition to the dedicated funding for lead service line removal, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides another $11.7 billion in general funding through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund that can also be utilized for lead removal projects.

Background 

President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is dedicating an unprecedented $15 billion to removing lead from drinking water. The Voluntary School and Childcare Lead Testing and Reduction Grant Program complements these funds to further reduce lead in drinking water. Under this grant, EPA allocates funds to eligible states and territories based on a formula that includes factors for population, disadvantaged communities, and lead exposure risk.

The San Francisco Unified School District recently launched a 10-year plan to repair and renovate its schools and facilities after an assessment found many schools needed maintenance and upgrading.

Why it matters: In 2022, an assessment of SFUSD’s facilities found that $1.7 billion would be needed to fund repairs and improvements, according to the school district.

The big picture: The plan outlines the condition of SFUSD’s more than 140 buildings and makes recommendations on everything from upgrading classroom technology and redesigning outdoor learning spaces to ensuring schools have secure water supplies and security locks for classrooms.

The plan too strives to increase the number of universal transitional kindergarten classes and to create affordable housing for educators.

The cited report a variety of issues including those with HVAC and electrical systems, roofs, windows, furniture, plumbing and more.

• Remarkable: The school district discovered lead in a handful of faucets at the Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8 Community School in December. That came shortly after the district found “unacceptable levels” of lead and arsenic in the school’s garden soil.

What you say: The goal of the facility plan is to “provide comfortable and state-of-the-art study spaces” for students in the district, said SFUSD Superintendent Dr. Matt Wayne in a press release.

• He added that modernizing to meet student needs ensures that “the whole child can come to school supported, engaged and challenged”.

Between the lines: There is a large cluster of poorly equipped school sites in the Mission/SoMa – areas with high levels of poverty.

• In SoMa, 18.1% of households live below the poverty line, according to a US Census Bureau analysis by The San Francisco Standard. In the mission, 11.1% of households live below the poverty line.

Something to see: The district’s facilities department presented the plan at a board of education meeting last week and will continue to seek public feedback.

• The final draft of the plan will be presented to the school board on April 25.
• From there, San Francisco voters will likely have to approve a general commitment bond in 2024 to fund much of the project.

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN/CBS SF) — More than 8,000 nurses and health care workers are striking today outside 18 Sutter Health facilities across Northern California, including a dozen in the Bay Area.

Union representatives say Sutter Health has refused to address concerns about safe staffing and health and safety protections.
The one-day strike was authorized by a nearly unanimous vote in March and advance notice was given to Sutter Health for the strike, according to the California Nurses Association and the Caregivers and Healthcare Employees Union.

The nurses and health care workers have been in negotiations since June 2021 for a new contract, with little to no movement on key issues, according to a statement from the union.

The nurses are calling on management to invest in nursing staff and agree to a contract that provides safe staffing that allows nurses to provide safe and therapeutic care. The nurses and health care workers also want the hospitals to invest in personal protective equipment stockpiles and comply with California’s PPE stockpile law.

“We are striking because Sutter is not transparent about the stockpile of PPE supplies and contact tracing,” said Renee Waters, an intensive care RN with 26 years of experience. “They resist having nurses directly involved in planning and implementation of policies that affect all of us during a pandemic.”

The nurses were scheduled to picket from 7 to 11 am and 2 to 6 pm on Monday at Sutter Health facilities in cities that include Berkeley, Oakland, Vallejo, Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Castro Valley, Antioch, Burlingame and Novato.

Sutter officials said contracted replacement workers would staff the facilities during the strike.

In an email to KPIX 5 a Sutter Health spokesperson said, “By moving forward with today’s costly and disruptive strike, union leadership has made it clear they are willing to put politics above patients and the nurses they represent – ​​despite the intervention of federal mediators and our willingness to bargain in good faith while under threat of a strike. Our attention is on providing safe, high-quality care to the patients and communities we’re honored to serve. We are confident in our ability to manage this disruption. We are hopeful CNA shares our desire to reach an agreement and enable our nurses to turn their focus back to the patients the union has asked them to walk away from.”

SAN FRANCISCO—In a notable move towards remote work and production, the Pac-12 Conference announced new flexible and remote work policies that will entail moving out of its current headquarters and production facility in San Francisco when its lease ends in June, 2023.

Pac-12 had been a pioneer in remote production at its current facility, which was a pioneer in IP infrastructures that allowed the Pac-12 Network to produce many of its games remotely.

The conference has not as yet released details about where its production facilities will be located after the move but said it will “forego permanent headquarters to best support employees and deliver savings to member universities” and that the “production facility location” is “to be determined for continued broadcast production activities.”

The current office is located in expensive real estate in San Francisco, with a lease that costs around $8.35 million a year, NewscastStudio has reported.

The move would enable both a “flexible and remote work environment to best support Pac-12 staff” and reduce expenses to “deliver more revenue back to member universities to support student-athletes,” the conference said.

The conference explained that new remote work policies were designed to “provide Pac-12 staff with the benefits of work flexibility while also envisioning regular opportunities for employees to come together in person within the Pac-12 geographic footprint, including at Pac-12 campuses to foster greater collaboration with member universities.”

“In addition to the remote work environment, the Pac-12 will continue to support and invest in its state-of-the-art broadcast and content production, including relocating to a new production facility after the end of the Conference’s current lease in June 2023,” the conference announced. “The location for the new production facility has not yet been determined.”

“The Pac-12 is committed to best supporting our employees by providing a work environment that accommodates today’s modern world and gives our employees maximum flexibility to live and work where they want, while still fostering collaboration among staff and our valued member institutions,” said Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff. “We are also committed to ongoing best-in-class production of Pac-12 events. We are excited for what this new remote and flexible work environment can do to support our employees, and for the new ways it will allow for us to reinvest in our member universities so that they can best support student-athletes.”

Alice Pena Bulos, Roberta Cerri Teglia and Karyl Matsumoto may soon have their names engraved on the walls of South San Francisco history. The South San Francisco City Council naming committee has recommended renaming the Westborough Recreation Center after Alice Pena Bulos, the Magnolia Center after Roberta Cerri Teglia, and the upcoming Caltrain Station Plaza after Karyl Matsumoto.

Former Mayor Matsumoto has worked hard to bring a new Caltrain station / center to South San Francisco and incorporate her vision of a community space with art, landscaping and accessibility. Born and raised in South San Francisco, Teglia was the city’s first female planning commissioner, councilor, and mayor. She was mayor four times during her city council career from 1978 to 1995. Bulos was a former college professor in the Philippines who was a leader of the Filipino community in the North Peninsula for many years and who lived across from Westborough Park until her death in October 2016.

“These are women who have served the South San Francisco community extremely well,” said South San Francisco Mayor Mark Addiego. “It only seems fitting that now is the time to recognize her contributions and service to our community during the Month of Women’s History.”

This recommendation came during the city council’s ad hoc naming committee meeting on February 18, 2021, where committee members Addiego and councilor Buenaflor Nicolas instructed staff to submit these name applications for approval at the upcoming city council meeting on March 24, 2021.

There’s a lot to be said for specialized vendors who can get your most specialized niche devices up and running in no time – but there are also repair and maintenance challenges facility managers face that are much simpler.

These tasks can be worth finding a valuable, professional, and skilled craftsman. They can solve simple challenges and are likely to save facility managers money. However, this does not mean that there are no best practices for fitting them into a facility management budget and steering this unique “provider” relationship.

For further insight, host Daniel Litwin welcomed Ryan Reese, Director of Operations at Vixxo, to Get Your Fix.

The duo explored the fit of home improvement services into the broader facility management ecosystem, the understanding of the definition of home improvement in today’s landscape, the need for clearly defined expectations in an area that may not be standardized, and the measurement of success in those relationships.

“Craftsman is one of those terms that are very general. It’s more like a guy with a hammer who is wandering around doing very general things, ”Reese said. “The truth is that ‘artisan’ can encompass a variety of fixes in retail, grocery, and convenience environments.”

There are also some key questions the facility managers can ask about a potential supplier relationship, including with a handyman. They include:

• “What business-critical repairs need to be made to continue business?”
• “Do we have an existing program?”
• “How big is our budget? Where are we currently spending too much? “
• “What can we do internally?”
• “Which points can we work on over time or bundle with others in order to reduce costs?
• “What items can we plan in advance?”
