EPA Grants Waiver to Old Town Water District for Non-US Filter Media

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has granted a waiver to the Old Town Water District in Maine, allowing the district to purchase pressure filter media manufactured in Brazil for two of its filters, despite the 'Buy America' requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This waiver is project-specific and only applies to the use of GreensandPlus filter media for the ARRA-funded project.
