EPA Grants Waiver to Town of Falmouth for Foreign Wind Turbine Purchase

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted a waiver to the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts, allowing it to purchase a foreign-manufactured wind turbine for its wastewater treatment facility under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The waiver is due to a lack of domestic manufactured wind turbines meeting the town's project design and performance specifications.
