Item No. 12 052
Date: January 9, 2012
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing Application for a $10,000 Grant From Maine Air
National Guard Education and Outreach Program
Responsible Department: Finance
Commentary:
This order will authorize a grant application for $10,000 from the Maine Air National Guard for
environmental education and outreach. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires
federal facilities to develop and implement projects in the communities where they are located which
will advance the improvement of environmental resources through education and outreach activities.
The Maine Air National Guard (MEANG), a Federal facility, is interested in renewing its contract
with the City to conduct activities and events that meet this goal and also support the City's efforts
with regard to water quality improvement in the Birch Street Watershed.
The proposed project would provide education and outreach to the residents and businesses of the
Birch Stream Watershed by offering rain barrels and/or rain gardens in exchange for the residents
applicants' volunteer time in attending a neighborhood event to become familiar with the problems
of stormwater pollution and its impact on the Birch Stream.
The total amount of funding being requested is $10,000 and does not require a local match.
This was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee at its meeting of
January 3, 2012.
