The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to the 3M Company (3M) for the evaluation and optimization of an accelerator electron beam (e-beam) to degrade per- and polyfluoralkylated substances (PFAS) in water in an energy efficient and economical manner as compared to conventional water treatment technologies. PFASs are compounds of environmental and human health concern worldwide. Treatment options would be proposed for future development and commercialization. The project would be completed over 2 Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go decision point between each BP. This NEPA determination applies to both BPs.
