This Project Grant award of $500,000 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Geographic Programs - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (CFDA 66.469) aims to demonstrate the potential of electric cell lysis (ECL) as an effective mitigation strategy for nutrient runoff and harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the Western Lake Erie watershed.

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA), partnering with the Cleveland Water Alliance (CWA), will pilot the ECL technology in three manure lagoon systems at dairy operations and conduct two stakeholder engagement workshops to evaluate the benefits and barriers to adoption. The project goals are to demonstrate the ECL technology's effectiveness, identify concrete value propositions for farmers, and encourage producers and agribusinesses to adopt innovative nutrient runoff reduction approaches. The subaward to CWA will contribute to this effort by assisting with the pilots and workshops. The project will run from October 1, 2024 to March 31, 2027.
