ROAD DUST SUPPRESSANT -- MANUFACTURERS AND DISTRIBUTORS MEETING Under EPA's Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program for Air Pollution Control Technology, there will be a meeting on 9/19/00 for manufacturers and distributors of materials used to suppress dust on unpaved roads. This ETV program has identified road dust suppressants as a candidate technology for verification testing. The purpose of the 9/19/00 meeting is to discuss initiating protocol development and verification testing with all interested manufacturers and distributors of road dust suppressants. The meeting will be in Building 11, Research Triangle Institute (RTI), Research Triangle Park, NC, from 9:00 AM until 12:30 AM. Further information on the ETV program and travel information to RTI can be found on their web site at http://etv.rti.org/apct/index.html Please confirm your intent to attend the meeting by calling Ms. Debbie Retzlaff at (919) 541-6072, or email at dar@rti.org no later than 9/12/00. The goal of ETV is to verify the performance characteristics of commercially ready environmental technologies so that potential purchasers and permitters are provided with an independent and credible assessment of the technology they are buying or permitting. RTI and EPA are partners in the ETV pilot program. WEB: Not Applicable -- No RFP, http://www.epa.gov/etv and http://etv.rti.org/apct/index.html.
