Concerns for man-made and naturally-occurring<br>chemicals found in surface water, ground water, finished drinking water,<br>and<br>wastewaters pose a host of treatment and management challenges and<br>potential<br>health risks for communities served by public water systems (PWS). These<br>challenges are exacerbated for small systems, those serving 10,000<br>persons or<br>less, including the complexities of treatment trains needed to comply<br>with<br>multiple and competing drinking water regulations. To meet drinking<br>water<br>obligations under the Safe Drinking Water Act and accelerate the<br>advancement<br>of sustainable drinking water protection, innovative technologies and<br>approaches are needed for small systems that can remove or mitigate<br>groups of<br>contaminants or contaminant precursors from drinking water sources or<br>systems.<br><br>Under the solicitation, EPA is interested in research and demonstration<br>projects on innovative and sustainable treatment technologies that will<br>make<br>quantum leaps in improving the ability of PWS to protect the health of<br>the<br>communities they serve. Therefore, under the solicitation, EPA, as part<br>of<br>it's National Center for Environmental Research's Science to Achieve<br>Results<br>(STAR) program, seeks the submission of projects from eligible<br>applicants,<br>including Minority Academic Institutions, proposing to conduct research<br>to<br>identify, develop and demonstrate novel and innovative treatment<br>technologies<br>and approaches for small public drinking water systems. Successful<br>technologies should be robust, sustainable and be able to treat or<br>mitigate<br>groups of contaminants or contaminant precursors in drinking water<br>sources and<br>systems. EPA is seeking new, or innovative modifications of existing,<br>treatment technologies that can perform significantly better than<br>current<br>technologies. These technologies may include those technologies which<br>are<br>used to retrofit or augment existing treatment trains; treatment<br>practices or<br>technologies aimed at contaminant or contaminant precursor reduction in<br>source<br>waters; and technologies used within the distribution system including<br>point-of-use (POU) devices.<br><br>EPA will host three webinars to discuss this RFA, the general<br>competition<br>process and submission instructions.
