Description:
Specific objectives of this program are to evaluate the reliability of the arsenic technologies of small scale systems; to gauge the simplicity of system operations, maintenance and operator skill; to determine the cost-effectiveness of the treatment technologies; and to characterize treatment residual produced by the technologies. The arsenic demonstration program consists of three rounds of projects that have resulted in the funding of fifty small, full-scale arsenic removal systems in twenty-seven different states under Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with the small water systems. In all cases, the State drinking water agencies provided support in the selection and permitting of the technology being demonstrated. Once the treatment system is installed, the utility operates it under normal operating conditions for a minimum of one year, and assists EPA in the collection of the performance and cost data. The data from each project will be utilized in the preparation of a final report that documents the performance of the full scale system.
