manganese removal in the remaining
two filter beds.
Detailed evaluation of all of the
submitted documentation by, and
extensive discussions among EPA’s
technical review team, the EPA program
office, and EPA’s national contractor
established that the Maine Drinking
Water Program, in the MEDHHS, would
require replacement of the existing
underdrain and associated piping if
either of the other two filter media that
were pilot tested—one of which may be
domestically-produced—were used in
the project. This would result in an
increase in the project cost from $40,019
to $86,405 for the two filter beds. Due
to the existing backwash piping
configuration, a lower backwash rate is
needed which could be attained by the
GreensandPlus filter media without
replacement of the underdrain or
piping.
The Maine Drinking Water Program is
the primary enforcement authority
responsible for ensuring that all Public
Water Systems (PWS) in the State
regulated under the Safe Drinking Water
Act comply with all National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR).
Implementation of the determination by
such an authority that specific facility
configurations or operating conditions
are required for compliance with
NPDWRs is obligatory for a PWS.
Thus, the use of domestic filter media
would require replacement of the
underdrain and associated piping which
would double the cost of the project. In
addition, the evaluation of the
supporting documentation also
demonstrated that the foreign filter
media will be able to meet the proposed
project design and specifications with
no additional cost to the Town.
Furthermore, the purpose of the
ARRA is to stimulate economic recovery
by funding current infrastructure
construction, not to delay or require the
substantial redesign of projects that are
‘‘shovel ready,’’ such as this project of
the Old Town Water District. The
imposition of ARRA Buy American
requirements in this case would result
in unreasonable additional cost for this
project and substantial delay in its
completion. Such delay would also
directly conflict with a fundamental
economic purpose of ARRA, which is to
create or retain jobs.
The Municipal Assistance Unit (CMU)
has reviewed this waiver request and
has determined that the supporting
documentation provided by the Town
established a proper basis to specify that
using the domestic manufactured good
would be inconsistent with the public
interest of the Town. The MEDHHS
concluded that using a domestic filter

media would require replacement of the
underdrain and associated piping and
subsequently significantly increase the
project cost. The information provided
is sufficient to meet the following
criteria listed under Section 1605(b)(1)
of the ARRA and in the April 28, 2009
Memorandum: Applying these
requirements would be inconsistent
with the public interest.
The March 31, 2009 Delegation of
Authority Memorandum provided
Regional Administrators with the
temporary authority to issue exceptions
to Section 1605 of the ARRA within the
geographic boundaries of their
respective regions and with respect to
requests by individual grant recipients.
Having established both a proper
basis to specify the particular good
required for this project and that using
a domestically available alternative
manufactured good would be
inconsistent with the public interest of
the Town, the Old Town Water District
is hereby granted a waiver from the Buy
American requirements of Section
1605(a) of Public Law 111–5. This
waiver permits use of ARRA funds for
the purchase of GreensandPlus filter
media for two 12 foot diameter filters
documented in the Town’s waiver
request submittal dated November 9,
2009. This supplementary information
constitutes the detailed written
justification required by Section 1605(c)
for waivers based on a finding under
subsection (b).
Authority: Pub. L. 111–5, section 1605.
Dated: February 12, 2010.
