elevated levels of lead and copper in the

Public Assistance program to provide water, 

other necessary related items such as filters 

and testing, and technical assistance 

necessary to identify and address immediate 

threats to public health and safety for 90 days 

from the start of the incident period. 

Consistent with the requirement that 

Federal assistance be supplemental, any 

Federal funds provided under the Stafford 

Act for Public Assistance will be limited to 

75 percent of the total eligible costs. In order 

to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby 

authorized to allocate from funds available 

for these purposes such amounts as you find 

necessary for Federal emergency assistance

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration for the approved 

assistance to the extent allowable under the
