Director's Note
OSBP has continued to make progress in
linking Minority Academic Institutions (MAIs)
with EPA in a variety of capacities. The renewed
focus on domestic improvements via funding
from the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) of 2009 has further strengthened
this effort. I am proud of the support that EPA
offers these institutions, their student bodies,
faculty, and staff.
Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the great
engine of personal development. It is through
education that the daughter of a peasant can
become a doctor, that a son of a mineworker
can become the head of the mine, that a child
of farm workers can become the president of a
great nation. It is what we make out of what we
have, not what we are given, that separates one
person from another." This is a testament to the
rationale for the MAI Program and reminds us
of the importance of supporting education for
the most disadvantaged among us.
In this installment of the OSBP newsletter, we
focus on new developments, including a new
MAI Coordinator at EPA and two key
appointments by President Obama in the
education sector. We also report on a new
initiative directed by President Obama, the
creation of an Interagency Ocean Policy Task
Force, which promises hope for the future health
of water, one of our nation's most precious
natural resources.
We then examine some direct impact programs,
funding opportunities via ARRA legislation,
and two innovative EPA projects recently
implemented that are certain to increase
the opportunities for scholars interested in
science and technology. Finally, we reflect on
conferenceopportunitiesthatofferedprofessional
development and networking opportunities for
national, state, and local officials, academicians,
individuals, nonprofits, businesses, and other
top leaders.
In over 30 years of contracting experience,
I have witnessed advancements that have
afforded minority small businesses and MAIs
new opportunities for growth in an increasingly
competitive market. I hope that you will enjoy
reading about some of the latest progress in this
newsletter.

The White House
Ocean Initiative
President Obama recognizes that we have a re-
sponsibility to protect our oceans, coasts and
Great Lakes for the benefit of current and future
generations. To ensure that the Federal Govern-
ment is meeting this responsibility, the President
established the Interagency Ocean Policy Task
Force on June 12, 2009. The Task Force, led
by the White House Council on Environmental
Quality, is comprised of 24 senior-level policy
officials from across the Federal Government.
The Task Force is charged with developing a
recommendation for a national policy that en-
sures protection, maintenance, and restoration of
oceans, our coasts and the Great Lakes. It will
also recommend a framework for effective coast-
al and marine spatial planning. The recommen-
dations and frameworks developed by the Task
Force will be cost effective and improve coordi-
nation across Federal Agencies. The Chair will
terminate the Task Force upon the completion of
its duties.
The Task Force undertook a robust public engage-
ment process to hear from and involve stakehold-
ers and interested parties, including holding re-
gional public meetings, convening over 35 expert
briefings, and receiving hundreds of comments
via the internet.
The Task Force has made its Interim Report
available for public review online. This report
provides proposals for a comprehensive national
approach to uphold our stewardship responsi-
bilities and ensure accountability for our actions.
Additionally, the report outlines a more balanced,
productive and sustainable approach to our ocean
resources. On December 14, 2009, President
Obama's Ocean Policy Task Force released its
Interim Framework for Effective Coastal and
Marine Spatial Planning (Interim Framework)
for a 60-day public review and comment period.
With competing interests in the ocean, our coasts
and the Great Lakes, the Interim Framework of-
fers a comprehensive, integrated approach to
planning and managing uses and activities. Un-
der the Framework, coastal and marine spatial
planning would be regional in scope, developed
cooperatively among Federal, State, tribal, local
authorities, and regional governance structures,
with substantial stakeholder and public input.

Funding Opportunities
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act (ARRA) of 2009, Congress appropriated
approximately $7.2 billion for the implementa-
tion of the Broadband Technology Opportunities
Program (BTOP) and the Broadband Initiatives
Program (BIP). Minority Academic Institutions
are encouraged to apply for these opportunities.
More details about these programs can be found
at http://broadbandusa. sc.egov.usda.gov/ and

Additional funding opportunities and guidance
for MAIs are posted regularly on http://www.
grants.gov and http://www.cfda.gov.
RecycleMania
Banner at Buffalo State
RecycleMania, a ten week
competition among college campuses
across the United States and Canada, evolved
from EPA's WasteWise Program. Its goal is to
heighten the awareness of schools' waste man-
agement and recycling programs throughout
North America by encouraging fair and friendly
competition among colleges and universities.
Through the participation of students, faculty and
staff, RecycleMania aims to expand economic
opportunities while addressing environmental
issues in a positive way and seeks to lower the
amount of waste generated on-campus by reduc-
ing, reusing and recycling. Over the years, Recy-
cleMania has motivated successful competitions
by building upon the inherent nature of friendly
rivalries.
In the 2009, only 27 of the 515 schools who
participated were MAIs. In an effort to increase
minority participation, the MAI staff has promot-
ed the program at conferences and workshops.
RecycleMania 2010 starts on January 17 and
continues through March 27. Over this 10-week
period, schools report recycling and trash data.
Campuses are ranked according to who collects
the largest amount of recyclables per capita,
the largest amount of total recyclables, the least
amount of trash per capita, or have the highest
recycling rate. With each week's reports and
rankings, participating schools can compare their
results against other schools and use the results
to encourage their campus to reduce and recycle
more.

EPA Develops Partnerships
for a Stronger Future
There is an increasing need for well-trained,
qualified professionals in science, technology,
policy, and law to provide the capacity to fill
the growing number of environmental positions.
Simultaneously, the number of students, particu-
larly minorities, electing to pursue the science
and engineering majors, which provide the tech-
nical groundwork for these positions, is decreas-
ing. The Federal Government and institutions of
higher learning are working together to develop
innovative strategies to assure an adequate sup-
ply of highly trained, technical personnel.
Alabama A&M Watershed Project
Alabama A&M University (AAMU), the first
Historically Black College or University, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
entered into partnership on January 28, 2009 to
establish a Center of Excellence for Watershed
Management. AAMU President, Dr. Beverly Ed-
mond, subsequently signed aMemorandum of Un-
derstanding (MOU) with the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency and the Alabama Department
of Environmental Management (ADEM) during
a ceremony on January 29, 2009, at the Univer-
sity's Agricultural Research Center.
According to ADEM Director, Trey Glenn,
"Alabama has tremendous water resources and
the Department's mission is to ensure those
resources are protected for today's citizens and
future generations. We are confident that this new
partnership with AAMU will allow all parties to
leverage our resources and focus our efforts to
protect water quality in Alabama."
Created in 2007, the EPA Region 4 Centers of
Excellence for Watershed Management Program
works with colleges and universities from across
the southeast to provide hands-on, practical
products and services for communities to iden-
tify watershed problems and solve them. Each
EPA designated Center actively seeks out water-
shed-based stakeholder groups and local govern-
ments that need cost effective tools for watershed
scientific studies, engineering designs and com-
puter mapping, as well as assistance with legal
issues, project management, public education and
planning.
To become a recognized Center of Excellence,
the institution must demonstrate the following:
expertise in identifying and addressing watershed
needs; involvement of students, staff and faculty in
watershed research; capability to involve the full
suite of disciplines needed for all aspects of wa-
tershed management; financial ability to become
self-sustaining; ability to deliver and account for
results; willingness to partner with other institu-
tions; and support from the highest levels of the
organization.
Some of the benefits of being a recognized Cen-
ter of Excellence include: receipt of EPA technical
assistance where needed (instructors, speakers,
etc); promotion of the Center of Excellence to
stakeholders; EPA letters of support for grant
opportunities; and identification of opportunities
for Center of Excellence involvement in local
and regional watershed issues.
osbp news volume 3 2009 www.epa.gov/osbp

For decades, EPA and ADEM have protected Al-
abama's lakes, rivers and wetlands by regulating
specific points of pollution; the most common of
these being sewage treatment plants and facto-
ries. Although this approach led to the successful
cleanup of many waterways, others still remain
polluted from sources not as easily regulated.
These more subtle sources include farms, streets,
parking lots, lawns, rooftops or any other surfaces
that come in contact with rainwater. Today, EPA
and ADEM take a broader approach to water pro-
tection looking at both the individual waterway
and the watershed in which it is located.
"Everyone lives in a watershed and at EPA we
believe a watershed approach is the most effec-
tive framework to address today's water resource
challenges," said EPA's Acting Regional Admin-
istrator, Stan Meiburg. "This designation will
allow AAMU to continue developing the strong
partnerships with other institutions, organiza-
tions and agencies required to protect and restore
watersheds in northern Alabama."
EPA Expands Outreach
to Minority Students
Administrator Jackson signs twoMOUs to broaden
the conversation on environmentalism
On November 24, 2009, EPA Administrator
Lisa P. Jackson signed two Memoranda of Un-
derstanding (MOU) designed to increase EPA's
outreach to minority and underserved communi-
ties. The two MOUs signed by the Administrator,
one with the Hispanic Association of Colleges
and Universities (HACU) and the other with the
Vermont Law School, will facilitate the flow of
information between EPA and minority commu-
nities and further the teaching of environmental
issues at colleges that serve minority students.
"To end the disproportionate environmental,
health and economic burdens on underserved
communities, we must expand the conversation
on environmentalism and invite new leaders into
this movement," said EPA Administrator Lisa P.
Jackson. "The actions behind these MOUs will
allow EPA to give a voice to communities that
haven't had a voice in the past, and empower
them to act on our nation's most pressing envi-
ronmental issues. Fostering more diversity and
inclusion throughout EPA will allow us to better
serve the broad environmental and health needs
of all Americans."
As part of the MOU signed with the Vermont Law
School, the University has agreed to employ dis-
tance learning technology to give a wider range
of students from Minority Academic Institutions
access to its environmental law program. To read
the Memorandum in its entirety, access it here:
http://www. epa.gov/osbp/pdf s/mai/mou_ver-
mont.pdf.
The Administrator also signed an MOU with the
Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universi-
ties that builds on EPA's relationship with the or-
ganization to make students and alumni aware of
job opportunities at EPA. The Agency will also
help Hispanic Serving Institutions develop envi-
ronmental curriculum and give them greater ac-
cess to EPA laboratories and facilities. The full
length Memorandum is available online at http://

Westerly Foster, Michael Nieves and Tex Gomez at
the 2009 LULAC Conference.
The current EPA Administrator, Lisa P. Jackson,
was the keynote speaker at the partnership lun-
cheon on July 15th. The partnership luncheon
served to highlight LULAC's corporate and
government partnerships. EPA and LULAC have
reaffirmed their ongoing partnership by extend-
ing an existing Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) to December 31, 2012, an initiative that
will continue to support the Agency's overall
diversity, education, recruitment and outreach ef-
forts. Ms. Jackson also joined Puerto Rico Gov-
ernor Luis Fortune to announce that the Agency
has awarded nearly $72 million to Puerto Rico
through the Recovery Act for overdue improve-
ments to wastewater and drinking water systems
and to conduct water quality planning essential
to protecting human health and the environment
across the island.
The LULAC Convention also hosted the Federal
Training Institute (FTI), a structured intensive ca-
reer development program for government and
public sector employees. In partnership with the
Office of Personnel Management and the United
States Department of Agriculture, the FTI offered
workshops that enable mid and senior level gov-
ernment employees to enhance their leadership
competencies skills that develop the Executive
Core Qualifications required for entry to the Se-
nior Executive Service.
