Hi Tweeks,

It seems like this would be a question for the FLL team in New Hampshire. You might consider sending an email to them at [log in to unmask].

Good luck,
Brittany

Our team's project is related to using microbes to filter nano-silver out of waste water going through sewage plants.  We were "unofficially" told (by VA-DC staff) that since nano-silver was the actual contaminant (not the waste water itself), that we should be fine.

Can I get a final go/no-go on this?

The team is currently looking at experiments with various silver filtration methods.

I would like a final, authoritative answer to this question.

The exception rule indicates Sewage (Ex. waste water, human or animal excrement) should not be included.    I would not considered trace water waste water unless it has excrement or goes through a water treatment plant.   If the trace water is free of excrement and is not treated, it should be good to explore.

 

Thanks,

One of our FROGBOTICS teams wants to know if they can "trace" run off into water / streams as a pollutant for their project?

One of our students has done quite a lot of research on it , so please let us know asap.

THANKS
KIKI
