Battelle Awarded U.S. EPA STREAMS V Contract to Deliver Nationwide Scientific, Technical, Research, Engineering, and Modeling Support

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Feb. 5, 2026)—Battelle recently won a $90 million contract under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Scientific, Technical, Research, Engineering, and Modeling Support (STREAMS V) program, continuing a collaboration with EPA that spans more than four decades. Battelle will provide advanced scientific, engineering, and analytical support across EPA programs and regions over the course of the seven-year contract.

With 44 years of experience supporting EPA through STREAMS I–IV and other major research contracts, Battelle’s work has included work in emerging and high‑priority areas such as PFAS research, innovative field sampling techniques, use of uncrewed aerial vehicles for 3D imaging and biological sampling, lead service line identification methods development, and rapid response capabilities to national security needs such as tools to equip first responders in sampling and decontamination responses.

Expanded Teaming Network to Support EPA’s Mission

To supplement Battelle’s internal capabilities, the STREAMS V program includes large and small business partners. These partners provide specialized expertise in areas such as climate modeling, mine remediation, toxicology, data analytics, machine learning, human health risk assessment, and laboratory research. This expanded network enhances flexibility and ensures surge capacity for EPA’s evolving research needs.

Comprehensive Support Across EPA Research Areas

• Under STREAMS V, Battelle and its partners will support EPA in areas including:
• Laboratory, bench‑scale, and pilot‑scale studies
• Field operations, site characterization, and environmental monitoring
• Analytical measurement and characterization of chemical and biological contaminants
• Environmental modeling, data management, and decision‑support tools
• Communications, stakeholder engagement, and technology transfer

Battelle’s capabilities are supported by extensive laboratory and testing facilities across multiple locations, including specialized environmental, chemical, and biological research assets.

“Our ability to execute high‑value, multidisciplinary environmental projects ensures that EPA will receive high‑quality, reliable, and scientifically sound research across the STREAMS V contract,” said Program Manager Lynn McLeod.
