Notice of a Regional Project Waiver of Section 1605 (Buy American) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to the Old Town Water District in Old Town, ME
The EPA is hereby granting a waiver of the Buy America requirements of ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(1) [inconsistent with the public interest] to the Old Town Water District (``Town'') in Old Town, Maine for the purchase of GreensandPlus pressure filter media, manufactured in Brazil, for two of the 12 foot diameter filters. This is a project specific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified product for the ARRA project being proposed. Any other ARRA recipient that wishes to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on project specific circumstances. The Town evaluated three different types of pressure filter media during a pilot test in April of 2008 and, well before the enactment of ARRA, selected GreensandPlus filter media. The media was purchased for the first two of four filter beds in October 2008, when the price of the media was determined for all four beds. The media was installed in two of the filter beds in January 2009. The ARRA funded project is for the other two filter beds in the Old Town Water District system. If an alternate domestic filter media were to be installed in the remaining two filter beds, the Maine Drinking Water Program would require replacement of the underdrain and associated piping, which would increase the cost of the project from $40,019 to $86,405. Based upon information submitted by the Town, its consulting engineer, and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services (MEDHHS), EPA has concluded that, under these circumstances, requiring the installation of an alternative domestic filter media would be inconsistent with the public interest, and that a waiver of the Buy American provisions is justified. The Regional Administrator is making this determination based on the review and recommendations of the Municipal Assistance Unit. The Assistant Administrator of the Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception to the requirements of Section 1605(a) of ARRA. This action permits the purchase of GreensandPlus pressure filter media, as specified in its November 7, 2009 request.
