This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), provides $2,000,000 in funding to the City of Brockton, Massachusetts to design a biosolids sludge dryer project. The key activities to be performed under this award include designing a sludge dryer system that will reduce the mass and volume of biosolids for disposal, implement a more cost-effective on-site processing solution, and create a Class A dry biosolids product that can be beneficially used or more easily disposed of after PFAS is destroyed. The anticipated deliverable is a 100% design for construction, which is expected to lead to a completed construction project that will improve water quality through reduced waste and PFAS destruction for the residents of Brockton. The award is effective from March 1, 2025 through June 1, 2026.
