EPA documents released by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works include a list of 400 grants targeted for elimination, including 62 in California.

Last year, the EPA changed the terms and conditions for its grants, eliminating its ability to do policy-based cancellations. An internal EPA Office of General Counsel email obtained by Senate Democrats and provided to The AP says that even though EPA officials knew some grants had this updated language, they were terminated anyway.

Sixty-two California grants are on a list of 400 the Environmental Protection Agency has targeted for termination, according to an internal filing obtained by Democratic members of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on Wednesday and reviewed by the Chronicle.
