Description
The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results
(STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing to conduct research necessary
to identify, develop and demonstrate novel and innovative treatment technologies
and approaches for small public drinking water systems. Successful technologies
should be robust, sustainable, and be able to treat or mitigate groups of
contaminants or contaminant precursors in drinking water sources and systems.
EPA is seeking new, or innovative, modifications of existing treatment
technologies that can perform significantly better than current technologies.
These technologies may include those which are used to retrofit or augment
existing treatment trains; treatment practices or technologies aimed at
contaminant or contaminant precursor reduction in source waters; and
technologies used within the distribution system including point-of-use (POU)
devices. Identifying technologies that have the potential to be game-changing
may involve considering national and international sources as well as
considering input from those who have not traditionally participated in
environmental conversations, including Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs) as
defined in Section I.A.
