Innovative Water Technologies for Lagoon Wastewater Systems in Small Communities Request for Applications (RFA) Informational Webinar
COVID-19 Update: EPA is providing flexibilities to applicants experiencing challenges related to COVID-19. Please see the Flexibilities Available to Organizations Impacted by COVID-19 clause in Section IV of EPA’s Solicitation Clauses.
Opens/Close Dates: January 20, 2022 - March 7, 2022
Background:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through the Innovative Water Technology Grant Program, is seeking applications for research to accelerate innovative and alternative wastewater treatment technologies in lagoon/pond systems serving small communities (population less than 10,000) that may require infrastructure improvements to remove nutrients. This new funding opportunity is titled, “Innovative Water Technologies for Lagoon Wastewater Systems in Small Communities Request for Applications (RFA)”.
Lagoon-based wastewater treatment plants have been widely used in the United States and around the world for municipal, agricultural, and industrial applications. These systems are particularly attractive to small communities because of their low operating cost, built-in solids storage, and low minimal operating requirements. However, limited information is available on the performance, reliability, impacts, capital costs, and operations and maintenance costs of various lagoon technologies and on their ability to consistently remove ammonia and nutrients. The research conducted will build a comprehensive technological and financial framework that can assist small communities deploy demonstrated innovative water technologies for lagoon systems to achieve better nutrient management in a cost-effective manner.
Applications should address both of the following two research areas:
- Research Area 1: Lagoon Technologies and Treatment Performance, Variability, and Life Cycle Cost Analyses
- Research Area 2: Lagoon System Life Cycle Impact Analyses
