What the grant funds
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking applications for the purpose of accelerating innovative and alternative wastewater treatment technologies in lagoon/pond systems serving small communities (population less than 10,000) that may require infrastructure improvements or process modifications in effluent quality for nutrients (total phosphorous and/or total nitrogen) and ammonia. In addition, the Request for Applications (RFA) is also looking for applications to help determine the performance, capital costs, operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and O&M requirements of innovative water technologies that can efficiently and consistently remove nutrients.
