“WTIC, being situated geographically at the corner of 3 states and within 100 miles of their state capitals, is uniquely positioned to advocate for and coordinate the harmonization of their testing requirements. Technology developers will see this as distinctly advantageous in getting their products into the market place.”

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: The 2012 EPA SBIR solicitation will have a focus on technologies to help achieve “net zero”—moving towards zero net consumption of water and energy and zero net production of waste. This concept cross-cuts this year’s SBIR topic areas: Water, Innovation in Manufacturing, Green Building, Waste Monitoring, Air Quality, Sustainable Utilization of Biomass, and Homeland Security. In addition, the solicitation will include water topics for drinking water; wastewater, stormwater and water reuse; and the water energy nexus and climate change. The application for proposals will be available after March 15, 2012, on the EPA SBIR website at www.epa.gov/ncer/sbir.

GreenScreen™Training
Hosted by US EPA Region 5 Great Lakes Restoration Initiative partners.
The GreenScreen™ for Safer Chemicals is a comparative chemical hazard screening method developed by Clean Production Action to encourage the use of greener and safer chemicals. This method is used by Washington State Department of Ecology and Hewlett-Packard to evaluate the hazards associated with specific chemicals and identify safer alternatives.
The public can now access documents online through Ohio EPA’s Ohio EPA’s eDocument search system. This initial launch contains all noncompliance documents issued since January 1, 2007. It is the first phase of electronic records posting to be undertaken over several years with the goal of having nearly all Ohio EPA public records available online. The search engine features instructions for use, frequently asked questions, and contact information for help or other questions.
