§ 1255. Grants for research and development. 



(a) Demonstralion projects covering storm waters, 

 advanced waste treatment and water purification 

 methods, and joint treatment systems for munici- 

 pal and industrial wastes. 



The Administrator is authorized to conduct in the 

 Environmental Protection Agency, and to make 

 grants to any State, municipality, or intermunicipal 

 or interstate agency for the purpose of assisting in 

 the development of— 



(1) any project which will demonstrate a new 

 or improved method of preventing, reducing, and 

 eliminating the discharge into any waters of pol- 



lutants from sewers which carry storm water or 

 both storm water and pollutants; or 



(2) any project which will demonstrate ad- 

 vanced waste treatment and water purification 

 methods (including the temporary use of new or 

 improved chemical additives which provide sub- 

 stantial immediate improvements to existing 

 treatment processes), or new or improved meth- 

 ods of joint treatment systems for municipal and 

 industrial wastes; 

 and to include in such grants such amounts as are 

 necessai-y for the purpose of reports, plans, and 

 specifications in connection therewith. 



(b) Demonstration projects for advanced treatment 

 and environmental enhancement techniques to 

 control pollution in river basins. 



The Administrator is authorized to make grants 

 to any State or States or interstate agency to demon- 

 strate, in river basins or portions thereof, advanced 

 treatment and environmental enhancement tech- 

 niques to control pollution from all sources, within

 provement techniques. 



(c) Research and demonstration projects for preven-

 practical api^lication of: 



( i • waste management methods applicable to

 not limited to. elimination oi runoff of pollutants 

 and i-h-- effects of pollutants from inplace or ac- 

 cumulated sources;
