Community/University Partnership
(CUP) Grants Program -1995-98
OVERVIEW. The EPA established this special Grant
Program for Community/University Partnerships (CUP) to
help community groups efficiently address local
environmental justice issues through active partnerships
with institutions of higher education. Under this program
EPA will emphasize meaningful, fully interactive two-way
cooperation between communities and institutions of
higher education to address environmental justice issues
(e.g., waste sites that are polluting water bodies, or
pesticide contamination of farm workers), identify
pollution sources, train residents on their rights and
responsibilities, and help resolve environmental
problems.
Partnerships must be established with formal
agreements (i.e. Memorandum of Understanding signed
by both the university and the community) between a
university or college and at least one socio-economically
disadvantaged community, which is adversely impacted
by an environmental hazard. Through these
partnerships, communities will be encouraged to become
involved in accessing information from environmental
databases, in cleaning up and restoring communities that
have environmental insults and in surveying and
monitoring environmental quality. These initiatives
increase environmental awareness, expand community
outreach, and provide training and education to resolve
environmental problems such as exposure to
environmental pollutants in socio-economically
disadvantaged communities.
ELIGIBILITY. Participation is limited to institutions of
higher education which have formal partnerships with one
or more community group. Applications will serve as the
sole source for evaluation. A panel of knowledgeable
representatives reviews and evaluates each application.
1998. There is no CUP Program this fiscal year.
A program evaluation and availability of funds
will determine whether or not there will be a
1999 Program. Please Call 1-800-962-6215.

the Grand Calumet Task Force, proposes to create the
Northwest Indiana Environmental Justice Task Force and
Environmental Justice Resource Center to ensure the
inclusion of the views of low-income and minority
populations in environmental initiatives in northwest
Indiana. The project will include an analysis of problems
related to environmental justice, which will include
exposures to toxic substances, related health problems,
and corrective actions determined to be necessary. The
Northwest Indiana Environmental Justice Resource
Center will serve the northwest Indiana area, including
the cities of East Chicago, Gary, and Hammond. The
Center will serve as a primary information and training
resource for environmental justice issues that affect
northwest Indiana and will develop a public school
curriculum for several grade levels on environmental
justice issues. The partners also will sponsor three field
projects including an "Environmental Summer" youth
project, a site watcher program made up of residents
trained to evaluate whether proper management of
contaminated sites is taking place, and a river watcher
program to monitor the Grand Calumet River.
New Mexico Highland University - Pecos River
Watershed Plan-$ 89,064
The residents of Pecos, New Mexico have requested
the help of New Mexico Highlands University and its
partners, the Pecos Watershed Association and the
Tierra y Montes Soil and Water Conservation District, to
help identify and solve social and environmental
injustices in their community. Through a series of
community interactions, surveys, and communication
methods, the partners hope to create a plan for the Pecos
Watershed. The objectives of this project are to hold
informational gatherings, facilitate community
involvement, promote social cooperation, and promote
effective decision making.
The location of the Pecos Watershed makes it a popular
retreat for the many recreational water users and rural
home buyers of Pecos, New Mexico. The heavy
recreational uses of the watershed combined with
improper water disposal methods have degraded lands
and contaminated the once-fertile soil and high-quality
water. The project will assess the causes of unlawful
disposal of liquid soil waste, identify extreme causes of
riparian degradation in heavily used areas of the
watershed, and implement a community outreach
strategy to promote interaction between community
members, natural resource professionals, and local
government officials.
City College of San Francisco - Environmental Justice
Community Education Project - $ 249,720
The partnership among the City College of San
Francisco, the Southeast Alliance for Environmental
Justice, the San Francisco Police Department/District
Attorney's Environmental Crimes Task Force, and the
Urban Habitat Program of the Earth Island Institute will
-------
educate, train, and network 100 stakeholders in San
Francisco's predominantly low-income and African-
American Bayview/Hunter's Point neighborhood. The
partners will create a stakeholder network of individuals,
businesses, and organizations committed to eliminating
public health hazards and advocating economic
development initiatives to enhance community-based
efforts to protect the environment.
The partnership will establish an ongoing
communications network and an Environmental Justice
Resource Center to support the efforts of stakeholders to
decrease the numerous environmental and public health
problems that currently affect the neighborhood's quality
of life and economic development. The partners will
develop and conduct an eight-week leadership
development program for 100 identified stakeholders.
This program will provide participants with the skills
necessary to use electronic communications technology
to advocate removal of toxic substances, reduction in
environmental crimes, pollution abatement,
improvements in public health, and non-polluting
economic development strategies. The resource center
will disseminate information generated through the
leadership program to the general public, which will
include health surveys, maps and lists of known polluters,
and summaries of environmental laws. Increased
interaction between public- and private-sector
stakeholders in the neighborhood will serve as an
important tool in reducing all types of crime, including
environmental crimes. In addition, an Internet Web site
will be established to provide a continuing source of
information about neighborhood concerns and activities.
Fort Belknap College - Developing and Enhancing
Aquatic Resource Analysis Capabilities Through
Collaboration^ 249,982
This proposal represents a collaboration of Fort Belknap
College, the Fort Belknap Community Council, and Island
Mountain Protectors to address environmental justice
concerns related to water quality on the southern end of
the Fort Belknap Reservation. The reservation, located in
northern Montana, houses the Zortman-Landusky gold
mine, the largest cyanide heap leach mine in Montana.
This project will examine the causes, degree, and extent
of water pollution from past and present mining activities,
as well as the effects mining activities might have had on
the groundwater that serves as a source of drinking water
for the communities in the area.
The partners have identified four objectives to achieve
the goal of addressing the community's concerns about
environmental justice and contamination from mining
activities. First, the partners will develop and enhance
local capabilities in water quality monitoring by several
methods which include hiring a hydro geologist on the
faculty of Fort Belknap College, establishing a water
quality laboratory, and training students and personnel in
monitoring capabilities. Second, to improve coordination
of monitoring efforts by local authorities and agencies, the
partners will establish a water quality resource center to
serve as a central clearinghouse for all local water quality
data. Third, the partners will train the local community in
methods of water quality monitoring through
establishment of a specialized program at Fort Belknap
College and through local workshops for community
residents. Fourth, the partners will use a number of
methods, including informal forums, local media coverage
in newspapers and on radio, and presentations at local
schools, to raise community awareness of the
environmental and human health effects of degradation of
water quality. By providing training and education in
these areas, the project will attempt to enhance the
community's ability to respond to current environmental
concerns with self-sufficiency, technical acumen, and
cultural integrity.
Merrimack College - Community Learning for
Environmental Assistance to Neighborhoods
(CLEAN)-$ 250,000
The Community Learning for Environmental Assistance
to Neighborhoods (CLEAN) project is a partnership
between the Merrimack College Urban Resource Institute
(MCURI); community development organizations, such as
the Lawrence/Methuen Enterprise Partnership (L/MEP)
and the Lawrence/Methuen Community Coalition
(L/MCC); and several local schools to provide outreach
and educational programs to the community of Lawrence
in an effort to reclaim neighborhoods and foster future
generations of concerned, informed citizens. The project
will create a demonstration reclamation project that will
increase residents' environmental awareness and provide
them with the skills necessary to use assessment and
strategic planning tools to undertake other environmental
reclamation projects.
The project will address the concerns of a small urban
community through educational programs, such as
Resources to Accelerate Integrated Science Education
(RAISE) with the Lawrence School Department working
with students from kindergarten through the
undergraduate level. Through the Accept the Challenge
program, bilingual students at Lawrence High School will
also have the opportunity to earn scholarships to attend
Merrimack College by acting as mentors for younger
students and providing community service. Project
CLEAN will develop a program aimed at preventing future
environmental degradation in the community, minimizing
the damage that already has been done, and taking into
consideration social and economic revitalization.
North Carolina Central University - Reducing
Pesticide Exposures in Farm Workers and Farm
Worker Families-$ 249,193
The partnership between North Carolina Central
University (NCCU) and Tri-County Community Health
Center (TCCHC) will develop a model intervention
program to teach farm workers and their families to
reduce the risk of pesticide exposure in their homes and
in the agricultural fields. The project will involve affected
populations in focus groups, surveys, and training
sessions and will identify their practices and concerns
related to pesticide exposure.
Four specific objectives have been identified for the
project: 1) identify practices that increase the likelihood of
-------
exposure to pesticides; 2) identify and document health
concerns of farm workers, their families, and health-care
and child-care providers considered to be related to
pesticide exposure; 3) implement and evaluate an
education intervention program that enhances the State-
mandated pesticide education program; and 4) assist
TCCHC in obtaining access to information about
pesticides and other contaminants that affect residents of
the counties they serve. A project advisory board will be
formed to oversee and evaluate all phases of the project.
Virginia Commonwealth University - Environmental
Justice Partnership-$ 249,830
The partners in this project, the Survey Research
Laboratory (SRL) of Virginia Commonwealth University
and the William Byrd Community House, will work to
inform community leaders and residents about the risks
of living in an area where air quality is impaired, and both
housing and soils are contaminated with lead.
Community residents will also be informed about their
opportunities to seek assistance to address their
environmental concerns.
The activities of the partners will be guided by an
environmental justice advisory panel, consisting of the
partners and representatives of the local community
organizations. Activities will be coordinated through the
neighborhood environmental monitoring program, made
up of residents recruited by community organizations.
Teams of residents will be formed to monitor the effect of
lead and impaired air quality on their respective
neighborhoods and develop ways to minimize these
effects. Graduate students will conduct air and soil
monitoring to build a baseline profile that will be
combined with an epidemiological analysis to identify
respiratory illnesses and those related to exposure to
lead. The data gathered about the various effects of lead
and reduced air quality will be distributed to community
members and city leaders to support development of
strategies to address the issues and promote change at
the local and state levels.
Northwest Indian College - River Witness
Environmental Justice Project -$ 245,688
The Northwest Indian College and the Lummi Nation
propose a partnership to address the current void in
reliable predictions of fecal coliform contamination that
affects Lummi shellfish resources. Because the Lummi
community harvests shellfish for personal and
noncommercial use, serious health effects may be
resulting due to the lack of data and information. The
project will gather, analyze, and disseminate data on fecal
coliform bacteria, develop community awareness of
issues and responsibilities related to that concern, and
develop a partnership with state and federal agencies to
address the immediate problems related to the issue.
To ensure that the Lummi Nation will have adequate
information to support decisions about when shellfish
should or should not be harvested, the partners will
conduct several studies to evaluate the residence time
and transport of fecal coliform bacteria in the affected
waters. The data and information compiled from the
studies will be made available to the community through
a conference on watershed and food resources; other
publicity, such as articles and media events; and a video
about the study. The partners also will form a partnership
with such agencies as the Washington State
Departments of Ecology and Health, and the Northwest
Indian Fisheries Commission. The relationship will
facilitate improved communications about reclassification
of shellfish beds from restricted to conditional status, as
well as the sharing of pertinent information with those
harvesting similarly affected areas. To extend the limited
resources available for dealing with the issue, the
partners will develop a plan for future cooperation and
share it with other interested parties.
University of Minnesota - A Partnership to Evaluate a
Superfund Site on Leech Lake Tribal Lands-$ 249,781
The University of Minnesota Sea Grant Program and the
Leech Lake Tribal Council will partner to study the effects
of contamination on surface and groundwater from the St.
Regis Paper Company Superfund site, a former wood
treatment facility that is located near the Leech Lake
Band of the Chippewa Tribe. This project will address the
community's frustration arising from the lack of monitoring
and information about remediation of the site by
assessing historical data and groundwater models,
developing a long-term monitoring program methodology
for screening contaminants, evaluating health risks at the
site, and communicating those risks to the public.
A groundwater extraction/containment system has been
in place at the site owned by Champion International
Paper Company since 1985, but there is recent evidence
that a remnant plume has moved off site, potentially
affecting surface-water and groundwater resources on
Leech Lake Chippewa tribal lands. The project will
establish a panel of experts to use groundwater modeling
to evaluate information about groundwater contamination
and assess exposure pathways. Through this project, an
ecological risk assessment panel and a tribal human
health risk assessment panel will be established to
determine potential health impacts of surface and
groundwater contamination. Tribal educators and Sea
Grant outreach and communications staff will establish
risk communication tools to improve public awareness of
environmental and human health risks by developing a
workshop for tribal communities.
Albert Einstein College/Montefiore Medical Center -
Community-Based Efforts to Reduce Lead Hazards -
$ 249,720
The Montefiore Medical Center, the teaching hospital of
the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, will partner with
the Northern Manhattan Improvement Corporation, a
community group, to develop a self-sustaining,
community-based and community-run outreach program
focused on the elimination of lead poisoning in high-risk
neighborhoods in New York City. The project will show
that the community can resolve such environmental
issues as lead poisoning, if the community has the
knowledge and tools necessary to change environmental
conditions.
-------
Under this program, volunteers from communities in
New York City will help improve outreach efforts and
abatement of lead-based paint to help prevent childhood
lead poisoning. The partnership will develop programs to
improve community members' knowledge of the problems
associated with lead-based paint, ultimately bringing
about improved lead screening and reporting of violations
of the lead paint housing code. Trained local volunteers
will form a Lead Busters Team to disseminate information
and help establish abatement efforts.
