The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program verifies the performance of innovative technologies that have the potential to improve protection of human health and the environment. ETV accelerates the entrance of new environmental technologies into domestic and international marketplaces. Verified technologies are included for all environmental media—air, water, and land.

Why is it important to have a connection to universities? Perhaps its time to read the
stimulus money legislation that already passed, as well as the additional pending legislation.

So what is so important about the legislation you ask? The language contained within the legislation,
both passed and pending which Congress and the President of the United States of America, authorizing
the EPA to act as the Administrator, which has the power to oversee the disbursement and types of
projects implemented. Note, that the United States needs to replace an aging water/sewer system, and
upgrade/replace existing water treatment plants.

There is another underlying problem and that is, if I can borrow what Alvin Toffler described as the
Industrial Wave, an over reliance on bigger is better mentality. At one time, the economies of scale
dictated how an Industrialized Society conducted itself. However, retrofitting an Industrialized Society
isn't feasible first and foremost due to the enormous cost to tear up existing infrastructure to replace
aging water and sewer pipes, while not addressing the source of the waste in the first place. Thus the
legislation makes direct reference to the use and implementation of a decentralized wastewater treatment
plant for the purpose of treating the waste directly at the source.

Notice, that under: Company/Technology Name there is only one company name?
For the uninformed investor, who hasn't bothered to research both the passed and pending legislation
and the importance of having the aforementioned credentials, I can see how they could be confused by
"Sammy's Septic System Service" sales pitch that the Environmental Protection Agency's, Environmental
Technology Verification (ETV) Program isn't any better than his "slighly used" septic tank, which has
been "deeply discounted" and get them "while their hot!"

In an era of post 9-11, the Department of Homeland Security has taken an interest in trying to protect
a few large industrialized water treatment facilities as there has been a threat to the water/sewer
system for a considerable amount of time. Treating water at the source, rather than at large industrialized
plants, is much more favorable for DHS for security reasons.

Perhaps its time to now review the legislation, both passed and pending and actually read what it says?
Or, have you already done that and that is the reason why you are defending "Sammy's Septic System Service?"
