"The Office of Wastewater Management at EPA Headquarters has identified several subject areas for priority consideration. EPA will award WQCAs for research, investigations, experiments, training, demonstrations, surveys and studies related to the causes, effects, extent, prevention, reduction, and elimination of water pollution in the following subject areas:
Ballast Water Treatment
- On-board treatment or marine disposal technologies for various ships
- Sediments that have collected in ballast tanks
- Fate and transport in marine, estuary, and fresh water systems of any use of biocides (e.g. chlorine derivatives) to treat ballast water"
Availability of approximately $3.1 million for funding 30 to 35 projects demonstrating various pollution control methods. Funding for individual projects would range from $10,000 to $500,000, with an average of $100,000 each.
