Description

This RFA sets forth a competitive process to solicit and select up to two applicants in the SNEP geographic boundaries, one each in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, to develop a Responsible Management Entity (RME) while simultaneously installing, monitoring, and operating/overseeing I/A septic systems (otherwise known as alternative and experimental (A/E)) in the area covered by the RME. The goal of this effort is to advance the adoption and installation of I/A septic systems by demonstrating the effectiveness of the comprehensive RME model to manage them. An additional goal is to install the best available I/A technologies (those consistently achieving below 12 mg/l-nitrogen in their effluent) in order to gather more information on their performance. These goals, and the advancement of I/A septic use in general, have long been identified as a priority in New England and especially the area covered by the SNEP.
