EPA announces $300,000 Brownfields grant to Harrisburg  $3.9 million for Pa. Brownfields

HARRISBURG, Pa.  (June 25, 2019) – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency presented a $300,000 Brownfields assessment grant to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Harrisburg.

Harrisburg is one of the nine communities in Pennsylvania, and a total of 149 communities nationwide, selected to receive 151 grant awards totaling $64,623,553 in EPA Brownfields funding.  These funds will aid under-served and economically disadvantaged communities in opportunity zones and other parts of the country in assessing and cleaning up abandoned industrial and commercial properties.

“I congratulate the Harrisburg Redevelopment Authority, and its partners, for their outstanding efforts in brownfields redevelopment and am glad to support further progress,” said EPA Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator Cosmo Servidio, “The grant awarded today is another step forward in bringing critical investment for revitalization in the city, and in its Opportunity Zones.”

The Redevelopmental Authority (HRA) will conduct environmental site assessments and complete cleanup plans for sites potentially contaminated by petroleum or hazardous substances. Grant funds also will be used to develop a area-wide plan for two new areas, identify sites to add to the existing site inventory, and conduct community outreach activities. HRA will target activites in the Derry Street Transit-Oriented Development Area and the Cameron Street Corridor. 

These efforts build on the results of a 2017 brownfields grant to HRA to develop an area-plan for South Allison Hill neighborhood’s Industrial Park.  HRA focused on five catalyst sites along key commercial transportation areas.  This effort resulted in an inventory of brownfields sites and a plan for assesing them.

Grants awarded by EPA’s Brownfield Program provide communities across the country with an opportunity to transform contaminated sites into community assets that attract jobs and achieve broader economic development outcomes while taking advantage of existing infrastructure. For example, Brownfields grants have been shown to:

· Increase Local Tax Revenue: A study of 48 brownfields sites found that an estimated $29 million to $97 million in additional local tax revenue was generated in a single year after cleanup. This is two to seven times more than the $12.4 million EPA contributed to the cleanup of these sites.
· Increase Residential Property Values: Another study found that property values of homes near revitalized brownfields sites increased between 5 and 15% following cleanup.

Background

A brownfield is a property for which the expansion, redevelopment or reuse may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant. There are estimated to be more than 450,000 brownfields in the U.S. As of May 2019, under the EPA Brownfields Program 30,153 properties have been assessed, and 86,131 acres of idle land have been made ready for productive use. In addition, communities have been able to use Brownfields grants to leverage 150,120 jobs and more than $28 billion of public and private funding.

In 2018 Congress reauthorized the statutory authority for the Brownfields Program. The reauthorization included changes to the program to expand the list of entities eligible for Brownfields grants, increase the limit of individual Brownfields cleanup grants to $500,000, and add grant authority for Multipurpose grants. These important changes will help communities address and cleanup more complex brownfield sites.

The 2019 National Brownfields Training Conference will be held on December 11-13 in Los Angeles, California. Offered every two years, this conference is the largest gathering of stakeholders focused on cleaning up and reusing formerly utilized commercial and industrial properties. EPA cosponsors this event with the International City/County Management Association.

Government plan to build a hazardous waste facility

Infrastructure Minister Phil Gawne MHK will ask Tynwald to support capital funding of £330,000 at this month’s sitting of Tynwald.
The proposed Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility would be built on a site near to the incinerator at Middle Park off Richmond Hill in Braddan.
The facility would provide a central point for the collection and safe storage of up to 2,000 tonnes of hazardous wastes. The operating costs would be met by the waste producers.
Mr Gawne said: ‘The need for this facility is one of the consequences of having such a diverse and successful economy.
‘The Isle of Man is home to thriving aerospace and precision engineering sectors that produce a certain amount of hazardous wastes. The Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility is a key development that will support future economic growth and also minimise any potential impact on people’s health or the environment.’
As well as waste generated by the manufacturing industry, the facility would also deal with smaller amounts of hazardous waste produced by laboratories and Noble’s Hospital, and unidentified materials washed up on local beaches.
Because of their nature or chemistry, these wastes cannot be safely managed through the incinerator (or Energy from Waste plant) or landfill sites and are shipped off-island for specialist treatment and disposal.
In addition to packaging, transport and disposal costs, waste producers have to pay for special permits to ship the waste under EU regulations.
It can take several months to accumulate an economically-viable load for export, so the waste has to be stored during the intervening period.
The Isle of Man currently does not have a central transfer facility and most hazardous waste is stored on the site of production.
While this is not unsafe, in the longer term it is not considered best practice.
Planning permission is already in place for the Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility, which has been designed in conjunction with the Manufacturing and Technical Industry Waste Sustainability Committee, the Fire and Rescue Service and the Health and Safety at Work Inspectorate.
Hazardous wastes will be collected by the site operator or delivered to the facility by specialist companies and then held in designated storage bays before being packaged for onwards shipment.
Mr Gawne said: ‘The proposed facility will serve the Isle of Man for at least the next 20 years and is part of the department’s commitment to providing the infrastructure on which to build economic success.
‘It will ensure that the Isle of Man, and in particular the manufacturing sector, can continue to manage its hazardous wastes economically and in accordance with its regulatory obligations.’
The Department of Infrastructure said the Hazardous Waste Transfer Facility would be built by an Isle of Man contractor and the operators appointed following a competitive tender process.
It is estimated that the facility would be operational by March 2015.

PA Veolia to destroy waste from Ebola patient’s Dallas apartment

Veolia Environmental Services off Texas 73 will receive and begin destroying a shipment of medical waste from deceased Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan’s apartment within the next eight to 10 hours, Mitch Osborne, Veolia Gulf Coast Branch Environmental Services general manager, said Thursday morning.
“The containers will contain disinfected waste from the apartment the patient was residing in,” Osborne said. “It’s something we can manage, and we know it’s going to draw a lot of attention because of the ‘E’ word. But we’re not bringing Ebola to Southeast Texas. We’re bringing waste products that have been packaged for our workers’ and our community’s safety.”
Osborne said the waste — strictly from the patient’s apartment, not from the hospital — was pre-treated, pre-cleaned and disinfected before it was placed into containers. Those containers were then placed inside 55-gallon drums that will be incinerated along with its cargo.
Port Arthur Mayor Deloris “Bobbie” Prince said the city does not have the authority to decide whether the waste may enter the city, or the surrounding areas, or not.
“We don’t have the authority to stop it,” she said. “Veolia is not in Port Arthur — it’s in an unincorporated area of Jefferson County.
“I wish that none of it would come this way, but since it is coming our direction, it’s comforting to know that the safety of the employees and the citizens has been considered throughout the whole process.
“There will be no emissions, no fumes coming from the incinerator. They have the equipment and the facilities to handle this safely, and Mitch has assured me it poses no risk to our citizens or to his employees.”
Osborne said Veolia was contacted by the Department of State Health Services about managing the disposal because of the capabilities of its on-site incinerator.
“We supplied them with packaging specifications so that we can feed it directly into our incinerator,” he said. “It will be disposed 12 to 18 hours after arrival.

U.S. EPA Takes Important Step to Further Protect Children from Exposure to Lead-Contaminated Dust

U.S. EPA Takes Important Step to Further Protect Children from Exposure to Lead-Contaminated Dust

 

SAN FRANCISCO – Today, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler, along with Housing and Urban Development Secretary (HUD) Ben Carson, announced new, tighter standards for lead in dust on floors and window sills to protect children from the harmful effects of lead exposure.

In the Bay Area, EPA’s director of the Land, Chemicals and Redevelopment Division for the Pacific Southwest, Jeff Scott, joined with HUD Pacific Region Senior Advisor Jimmy Stracner, Alameda County Healthy Homes Department (ACHHD) Housing Programs Manager Dale Hagen and other local officials at a HUD-funded remediation project in Oakland to highlight efforts to reduce exposure to lead in homes.

“EPA is delivering on our commitment in the Trump Administration’s Federal Lead Action Plan to take important steps to reduce childhood lead exposure,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Today’s final rule is the first time in nearly two decades EPA is issuing a stronger, more protective standard for lead dust in homes and child care facilities across the country.”

“Lead-contaminated dust is one of the most common causes of elevated blood lead levels in children,” said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Mike Stoker. “This new standard will help ensure that all children – regardless of where they live – can live, learn, and thrive in safe and healthy environments.”

“EPA’s updating its standards for lead dust on floors and windowsills in pre-1978 homes and child-occupied facilities is an important advance,” said HUD Secretary Carson. “We will use this new rule in updating the lead safety requirements for the pre-1978 housing we assist.”

“As no safe blood lead level in children has been identified, we are pleased to see EPA enact this more protective standard,” said Healthy Homes Department Manager Dale Hagen of the Alameda County Community Development Agency. “Protecting the children in our community from exposure to lead is important for their lifelong good health, and accurately identifying problem areas so they can be addressed is an important part of our work.”

Since the 1970s, the United States has made tremendous progress in lowering children’s blood lead levels. In 2001, EPA set standards for lead in dust for floors and window sills in housing, however since that time, the best available science has evolved to indicate human health effects at lower blood lead levels than previously analyzed.

To protect children’s health and to continue making progress on this important issue, EPA is lowering the dust-lead hazard standards from 40 micrograms of lead per square foot (µg/ft2) to 10 µg/ft2 on floors and from 250 µg/ft2 to 100 µg/ft2 on window sills. The more protective dust-lead hazard standards will apply to inspections, risk assessments, and abatement activities in pre-1978 housing and certain schools, child care facilities and hospitals across the country.

The Oakland site visited by federal and local officials is currently being remediated under Alameda County’s Partnerships for Affordable Lead-Safe Housing program. Built in 1919, the property has extensive lead-based paint on the exterior and some interior surfaces. Funded by HUD’s Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes, the program provides lead testing, assists the owner in selecting a qualified lead-certified contractor, and provides a grant of up to $10,000 per housing unit to correct lead hazards. The program is available for pre-1978 properties with low-income households where owner-occupants have children under six or a pregnant occupant, and for rental units with low-income households where owners make a three-year commitment to remain in the program.

Lead-contaminated dust from chipped or peeling lead-based paint is one of the most common causes of elevated blood lead levels in children. Infants and children are especially vulnerable to lead paint exposure because they their growing bodies absorb more lead than adults do, and their brains and nervous systems are more sensitive to the damaging effects of lead. They can be exposed from multiple sources and may experience irreversible and life-long health effects. Lead dust can be generated when lead-based paint deteriorates or is disturbed.

The rule will become effective 180 days after publication in the Federal Register.

Background

Reducing childhood lead exposure and addressing associated health impacts is a top priority for EPA. In December 2018 EPA Administrator Wheeler and other Federal Officials produced the Lead Action Plan, a blueprint for reducing lead exposure and associated harms by working with a range of stakeholders, including states, tribes and local communities, along with businesses, property owners and parents.

EPA continues to work with its federal partners to improve coordinated activities and implement objectives of the Lead Action Plan.

Local Company Rushing Orders of Medical Waste Incinerator to West Africa

The Southern Illinois company that makes medical waste incinerators is now rushing an order to West Africa to help stop the Ebola virus from spreading.
We first reported on the ‘Medi-Burn’ in August when Carmi-based Elastec started offering its services to the United Nations.
Since then, the U.S. military has increased its response to the Ebola outbreak.
We’re told three Medi-Burn incinerators are being delivered to Texas overnight, and will then be transported to Sierra Leone.
The Medi-Burn is fueled by diesel and is self-contained – which means contaminated medical waste can be burned on-site.
