ANNOUNCEMENT OF VENDOR MEETING -- ETV WET WEATHER FLOW TECHNOLOGIES PILOT CBD Announcement of Technology Vendor Meetings -- ETV Wet Weather Flow Technologies Pilot Meeting Date: October 12, 1999 (during WEFTEC '99) Meeting Location: Hilton New Orleans Riverside, 2nd Floor, Poydras Street(adjacent to the Convention Center) New Orleans, LA Agenda : Morning Session -- Flow Meters 8:00 AM -- 9:00 AM General Information Session 9:00 AM -- 11:30 AM Flow Meter Verification Afternoon Session -- High Rate Treatment Technologies 1:00 PM -- 2:00 PM General Information Session 2:00 PM -- 4:30 PM High-Rate Separation/Clarification Technologies Verification High Rate Disinfection Technologies Verification NSF International (Ann Arbor, MI) is partnering with US EPA National Risk Management Research Laboratory (Edison, NJ) and the US EPA Office of Research and Development to accelerate the development and commercialization of technologies used in the control and abatement of wet weather flows by providing independent third-party verification and reporting of performance. The morning session of this vendor meeting will focus on ETV Verification of flow meters suitable for use with wet weather flow applications including combined sewer, SSO and stormwater collection system applications. The afternoon session will focus on ETV Verification of technologies used in the treatment and control of CSO, SSO and urban stormwater runoff. These technologies include but are not limited to enhanced physical/chemical separation technologies, ballasted sedimentation/flocculation technologies, vortex separators, and disinfection technologies such as high-rate UV equipment, induction mixers, and innovative high-rate chemical disinfection technologies. Vendors (manufacturers, developers) of these and other innovative wet weather flow technologies are encouraged to attend to learn more about the USEPA Environmental Technology Verification Program and its potential benefits. Vendors will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide input on the parameters of verification and on the proposed schedule for equipment testing. Among the items to be presented: the objectives of the ETV Program and the Wet Weather Flow Technologies Pilot; the roles and expectations of all participants and stakeholder groups; the development of verification testing protocols; the availability of ETV Pilot funds to cover verification testing costs; the application process for verification; the issuance of Verification Reports and Verification Statements under the ETV program. The meetings are open to anyone interested in learning more about the ETV Program. WEFTEC '99 Registration is not required for attendance at this ETV Meeting.
