  1. U.S. EPA’sEnvironmental Technology Verification (ETV)Program

  2. ETV Goal Verify performance characteristics Commercially-ready environmental technologies Providing purchasers and permitters with performance data From independent third parties under the auspices of the U.S. EPA.

  3. ETV Definitions • ETV Does Evaluate and Verify • verify: to establish or prove the truth of the performance of a technology under specific predetermined protocols and QA/QC procedures. • evaluate: to carefully examine and judge the efficacy of a technology. • ETV Does Not Certify • certify: to guarantee a technology as meeting a standard or performance criteria into the future.

  4. Benefits of the ETV Program • Provides objective, credible performance data to buyers. • Facilitates technology acceptance and permitting at the state/local level. • Reduces risk for financial investors. • Fair assessment through standardized testing. • Facilitates export of American products.

  5. ETV Facts • ETV Program - led by EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD). • Currently 12 ETV Pilot Partnerships • NSF has 3 ETV Pilots

  6. NSF’s ETV Pilots • Drinking Water Treatment Technologies • Source Water Protection Technologies • Wet Weather Flow Technologies
