Florida Approves Water Treatment Technology

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has added the HaloKlear Dual Polymer System (DPS) to a list of construction water treatment BMPs as a reimbursable pay item. HaloKlear will be the only all-natural, fully biodegradable polymer to be approved for this designation for use in all applicable FDOT projects.

The state of Florida’s concern and tangible action in addressing the effects of treatment chemicals on local fish and fauna combined with the FDOT’s stringent regulations in this arena provide clear leadership in influencing standards for other states in their approach to construction water remediation. Prior to approval, HaloKlear DPS underwent extensive toxicity testing and site performance reviews. In granting approval, the FDOT recognizes HaloKlear DPS as a safe and effective solution to clear turbid water in its construction project applications for both fresh and salt water.

This approval will now allow engineers to easily specify the use of HaloKlear DPS into their water treatment processes during planning for DOT projects.  Contractors will be reimbursed for use onsite. Additionally, if turbidity levels are not being met through other treatments, contractors and project managers can now easily deploy HaloKlear DPS on-site to meet the required standards prior to discharging into the environment.
