Appendix C -- Vendor Survey Instrument

APPENDIX C
VENDOR SURVEY INSTRUMENT

This is a representation of the Vendor Survey that was used both as a telephone-survey guide and occasionally mailed or faxed to potential vendors of secondary treatment technologies. Contact was made with 38 separate firms (plus subsidiaries), 15 of which supplied useful information.
