Executive summary
Current state
EPA's ECHO database reveals a structural enforcement gap where thousands of small/medium facilities manage CWA compliance manually via spreadsheets, facing automated SNC triggers (p_snc=Y, p_qiv>=3) and 90-day remediation deadlines they lack technical capacity to meet, while $1B in PFAS funding remains inaccessible without automated systems.
Market catalyst
EPA announced $1B in PFAS funding for drinking water systems, but small/medium facilities with manual compliance systems lack the grant-writing capacity to access this money, creating an arbitrage between available funding and facility incapacity to claim it.
