Arsenic Treatment Demonstrations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) plans to 
conduct a demonstration program on the treatment (reduction and/or 
removal) of arsenic in drinking water. The U.S. EPA recently 
promulgated a standard that limits arsenic concentrations in drinking 
water to 10 ug/l. Through this demonstration program the U.S. EPA 
intends to identify and evaluate the ability of commercially available 
technologies and engineering or other approaches to cost effectively 
meet the new standard in small water systems (10,000 customers). 
Through this notice, the U.S. EPA is inviting the public at large, 
governmental and regulatory agencies, public health agencies, and 
drinking water utilities to identify small water utilities that may be 
interested in hosting a demonstration at their facility. Such utilities 
should be those which will require treatment to comply with the new 
arsenic standard. This notice does not constitute a procurement.

DATES: Please submit the requested information by June 28, 2002.
