EPA Grants Waiver to Town of Bristol for Non-US Manufactured Sluice Gates

Summary

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted a waiver to the Town of Bristol, Rhode Island, allowing it to use non-US manufactured sluice gates for a wastewater treatment plant upgrade project under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The waiver was granted due to a miscommunication between the manufacturer and the Town, and the manufacturer has offered to provide the sluice gates at no additional cost.
