Hi Latoya Miller

Solicitation Title: Research and Demonstration of
Innovative Drinking Water Treatment
Technologies in Small Systems
Issue Date: Week of June 20th
Open Period: 60 days from Issue Date

EPA is pleased to announce that it expects to issue a competitive grant
solicitation the week of June 20, 2011 for projects addressing the
high-priority research and demonstration area of safe and sustainable
drinking water systems. Concerns for man-made and naturally-occurring
chemicals found in surface water, ground water, finished drinking water,
and
wastewaters pose a host of treatment and management challenges and
potential
health risks for communities served by public water systems (PWS). These
challenges are exacerbated for small systems, those serving 10,000
persons or
less, including the complexities of treatment trains needed to comply
with
multiple and competing drinking water regulations. To meet drinking
water
obligations under the Safe Drinking Water Act and accelerate the
advancement
of sustainable drinking water protection, innovative technologies and
approaches are needed for small systems that can remove or mitigate
groups of
contaminants or contaminant precursors from drinking water sources or
systems.

Under the solicitation, EPA is interested in research and demonstration
projects on innovative and sustainable treatment technologies that will
make
quantum leaps in improving the ability of PWS to protect the health of
the
communities they serve. Therefore, under the solicitation, EPA, as part
of
it's National Center for Environmental Research's Science to Achieve
Results
(STAR) program, seeks the submission of projects from eligible
applicants,
including Minority Academic Institutions, proposing to conduct research
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 technologies 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.

EPA will host three webinars to discuss this RFA, the general
competition
process and submission instructions. Additional information on the
webinars
may be found on the NCER Calendar at:

http://epa.gov/ncer/events/#june11b

and in Section IV of the solicitation.
