The Technical Review Committee which is made up of industry experts in arsenic developed the RFPs based on priority needs and the goals of the Partnership. The goal of this program is to enable water utilities, particularly those serving small rural communities and Indian tribes, to implement the most cost effective solutions for arsenic removal. This will be accomplished by bringing new and innovative technologies from the laboratory into full-scale use. Laboratory and bench–scale studies will be followed by demonstration-scale studies to provide performance and economic information under actual operating conditions. This data will provide stakeholders with the information necessary to make sound decisions on arsenic treatment
