This Department of Interior grant aims to study the effectiveness of parking-lot filters in capturing Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QAC) within surface runoff waters. The project will assess the water quality before and after passing through the filters during runoff events, especially focusing on the impact on water entering the cave system. The grant follows a non-competitive Cooperative Agreement process. Refer to the attached Full Announcement for further details. Closing date for applications is July 27, 2011.

| Description:: | This is a Notice of Intent to award a non-competitive Cooperative Agreement in accordance with Department of Interior, 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The purpose of this project is to determine the quality of water entering and discharging from the parking-lot filters during natural and/or simulated runoff events and to determine if water quality improves as the storm-runoff moves through the filters and before it enters the cave system. Of particular concern is if the filters are capturing Quaternary Ammonia Compounds (QAC) within surface runoff waters. Please see attached Full Announcement for more information. |
