Acceptance of Applications for New or Innovative Water/Wastewater Technology Grants Through the Growing Greener Program
[36 Pa.B. 2069] As part of the Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) Growing Greener Program, applications are now being accepted for New or Innovative Water/Wastewater Technology Grants. The Environmental Stewardship and Watershed Protection Act, 27 Pa.C.S. §§ 6101--6113, authorizes the Department to make these grants available to municipalities, municipal authorities, counties and school districts that are making improvements to existing drinking water or sewage treatment facilities using new or innovative technology. Grants for individual projects will be available up to $500,000 under this program. Preference will be given to the following new or innovative projects:
* Cost-effective treatment of groundwater under the direct influence of surface water that promotes virus inactivation rather than removal.
* Holistic approaches to treatment of drinking water for arsenic.
* Water reuse and water conservation technologies, consistent with applicable Department guidelines.
* Nutrient reduction technologies, particularly biomembrane technologies, in watersheds where nutrient removal has been identified by the Department as a priority (see the 2004 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report, available for viewing on the Department's website at www. depweb.state.pa.us (DEP Keywords: ''Water Quality Standards'').
The deadline for submitting grant applications to the Department's Growing Greener Grants Center is June 30, 2006. The grant application form is available electronically on the Department's website at www.depweb. state.pa.us (Select ''Forms and Publications'' and ''Water Standards and Facility Regulation'').
