Water Quality Protection Center

	Ray Frederick EPA Project Officer (732) 321-6627 Thomas Stevens NSF International (734) 769-5347

The Water Quality Protection Center operated in cooperation with NSF International. This center verified the performance of commercial-ready technologies that protect groundwater and surface waters from contamination. Technologies in this center fell under two main areas:

• source water protection—technologies that prevent the contamination and maintain the quality of drinking water supplies from both groundwater and surface water sources
• wet weather flow—technologies that control and treat the increased volumes of water as runoff, in sewers and wastewater treatment plants during period of wet weather events.

The center concluded operations at the end of 2013.

Verified Technologies

Technologies that protect our water quality help to protect human health and our ecological resources by reducing or preventing environmental risks. This center has verified technologies in a range of categories, including

• decentralized wastewater treatment
• watershed protection
• urban infrastructure rehabilitation
• mercury amalgam separation
• on-site residential nutrient reduction
