Brownfield Grant Funding Opportunity
The Following notice was sent to NYSDEC from The US Environmental Protection Agency:
The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) will be announcing the request for proposals for a cooperative agreement in Brownfield and/or land reuse community health projects and/or other health assessment projects in late May/early June 2012. These projects will have a particular emphasis on identifying health issues prior to redevelopment and/or assessing changes in community health associated with reuse plans and redevelopment. Projects should include, but are not limited to:
· Evaluation of health risk from environmental contaminant exposures at land reuse/ Brownfield sites
· Identification of community health status indicators (pre- and post-development)
· Development of risk communication and/or health education programs related to environmental hazards associated with land reuse/ Brownfield sites or health status of the community
· Development of inventories of current land reuse sites, including associated potential health risks of exposure to contaminants at these sites, former site uses, citizen complaints, accidental releases
· Design of programs to assist communities to reduce chronic disease status through implementation of new programs focused on land revitalization activities
· Assessment of residual contamination at land reuse/ Brownfield sites before, during, or after redevelopment
· Creation of measurable, short-term intervention strategies focused on land reuse/ Brownfield sites
· Utilization of geospatial analysis to characterize land reuse sites and associated health risks
It is expected that this program will stimulate collaboration among stakeholders, including local governing officials, community-based organizations, the private sector, and State governments to work together in a timely manner to ensure that public health is considered in the earliest phases of remediation and redevelopment of Brownfield/land reuse properties.
