Current Charge Questions for Local 

Government Advisory Committee 

(LGAC) 

1. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law 

is delivering more than $50 billion to 

EPA to improve our nation’s drinking 

water, wastewater, and stormwater 

infrastructure. As EPA works to 

implement this law, the LGAC is 

providing input on: 

• Are there tools, resources, or 

technical assistance that EPA can 

provide to help local governments 

access BIL funding to upgrade their 

water and wastewater infrastructure? 

• How can EPA work with the LGAC 

to educate, engage, and celebrate local 

successes from BIL implementation? 

2. As EPA implements the Bipartisan 

Infrastructure Law, how can we do so in 

a way that supports the 

Administration’s priorities of tackling 

the climate crisis? 

• Is there specific technical assistance 

that EPA should offer local governments 

to ensure they plan for, develop and 

build infrastructure that supports 

multiple community goals, including 

improving environmental and economic 

outcomes, supporting equity and 

environmental justice, and increasing 

communities’ abilities to create climate 

resilience? 

3. In October 2021, EPA announced a 

PFAS Strategic Roadmap, which laid 

out a whole-of-agency approach to 

addressing PFAS. This Roadmap 

includes several regulatory and policy 

actions regarding PFAS contamination. 

Given that these processes can take 

several years, how can EPA support 

local governments to address PFAS 

contamination in the interim? 

4. How can EPA meet the needs and 

environmental priorities of 

overburdened communities while also 

strengthening local government capacity 

to provide ongoing environmental 

protections in partnership with the 

states and EPA? 

Current Charge Questions for Small 

Communities Advisory Subcommittee 

(SCAS) 

1. As EPA works to implement the 

BIL, how can the Agency best: 

• Support clean and sustainable air, 

water, and land priorities for small and 

rural communities. 

• Support capacity needs/ 

advancement for small and rural 

communities. 

• Ensure long-lasting communication 

between EPA and local officials from 

small and rural communities. 

• Ensure small communities are 

positioned to benefit from this 

generational investment in 

environmental infrastructure.
