Wastewater Surveillance
September 2021, wastewater sampling for COVID-19 was carried out by USGS across six states as part of the National Wastewater Surveillance System. Results of this work include the development of an effective high-frequency sampling approach to support rapid wastewater-based epidemiology and provided important and timely data to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
2020 CARES Act
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27th, 2020, to aid response efforts and ease the economic impact of COVID-19. The Department of the Interior received funds to “prevent, prepare for, and response to coronavirus, domestically or internationally including, “biosurveillance of wildlife and environmental persistence studies.” The USGS...

Persistent Contaminant Threats Following Hurricane Sandy—Establishing Baselines and Assessing Impacts
Potential long-term contaminant threats resulting from compromised infrastructure, beach erosion, and sediment disturbance were evaluated in the coastal environments of New Jersey and New York in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Sediment-bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response (SCoRR) Strategy
The U.S. Geological Survey's Strategy to Evaluate Persistent Contaminant Hazards Resulting from Sea Level Rise and Storm-derived Disturbances SCoRR: Sediment-bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response Strategy Project Page Natural and anthropogenic contaminants, pathogens, and viruses are found in soils and sediments throughout the United States.
