Abstract
The EPA supports the ETV Program to facilitate the deployment of innovative environmental technologies through performance verification and dissemination of information. The goal of the ETV Program is to further environmental protection by accelerating the acceptance and use of improved and cost-effective technologies. ETV seeks to achieve this goal by providing high-quality, peer-reviewed data on technology performance to those involved in the design, distribution, financing, permitting, purchase, and use of environmental technologies. ETV works in partnership with recognized testing organizations; with stakeholder groups consisting of buyers, vendor organizations, and permitters; and with the full participation of individual technology developers. The program evaluates the performance of innovative technologies by developing test plans that are responsive to the needs of stakeholders, conducting field or laboratory bench tests (as appropriate), collecting and analyzing data, and preparing peer-reviewed reports. All evaluations are conducted in accordance with rigorous QA protocols to ensure that data of known and adequate quality are generated and that the results are defensible. The definition of ETV verification is to establish or prove the truth of the performance of a technology under specific, pre-determined criteria or protocols and a strong quality management system. High-quality data are assured through implementation of the ETV Quality Management Plan (QMP). ETV does not endorse, certify, or approve technologies. The EPA's National Risk Management Research Laboratory and its verification organization partner, Battelle, operate the Advanced Monitoring Systems (AMS) Center under ETV. The AMS Center recently evaluated the performances of two Franklin Fueling Systems technologies: TSP-IGF4 Water Float and TSP-IGF4P Float.
