Bay Restoration Fund (BRF) Best Available Technology for Removing Nitrogen from Onsite Systems
The following systems have undergone the Environmental Protection Agency's - Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program, NSF 245 Certification or other equivalent third party testing and are considered grant eligible. In addition, certain technologies are also field verified by the Maryland Department of the Environment for performance. Until completion of the field verification, the technologies are given a conditional approval which can be revoked based upon analyses performed by the Department and the Bay Restoration Fund Review Committee.
As required by legislation approved from the 2011 legislative session, effective June 1, 2011, the Department must rank all best available technology systems (BAT) for removing nitrogen for onsite sewage disposal systems. Rankings are to be provided for the following factors:
· Total Nitrogen reduction for the technologies
· Total Cost of the technology to include operation/maintenance and electrical consumption
· Cost per pound for nitrogen reduction.
BRF Ranking Document: CLICK HERE
The Department is to provide to the public this ranking of BAT systems. This ranking is largely based on information provided by the vendors. The Department strongly advises the applicant to contact each vendor directly for more information.
The BAT Review Team is accepting applications for determining systems for consideration as BAT and eligibility for Bay Restoration Funds. Click here for more information about the application process.
