>EPA AWARDS SUPERFUND GRANT TO LIVERMORE GROUP
>On 28 August, the EPA today announced that a Technical Assistance Grant
>(TAG) was awarded to the Tri-Valley Citizens Against a Radioactive
>Environment (CAREs), Livermore, Calif.  The $50,000 award was granted
>through the federal Superfund program and will allow the group to review
>cleanup activities being conducted at the Lawrence Livermore National
>Laboratory (Site 300) Superfund site near Livermore.
>"This grant will give the people living in the community an opportunity to
>participate more fully in the decision-making process," said Keith Takata,
>EPA's regional Superfund director.  "It should result in better decisions
>and greater public confidence in the actions taken to protect public health
>and the environment."
>The grant will allow the coalition to hire a technical advisor to assist it
>in reviewing investigation and cleanup activities at the Lawrence Livermore
>Superfund site.
>The TAG will be matched by $12,000 in community funds and will cover a
>three-year period.  The technical advisor will analyze and review proposed
>cleanup measures and report to the group.
>In planning and implementing site-specific cleanup efforts, EPA seeks
>comments from citizens who live near these sites and therefore have a vested
>interest in cleanup actions being considered.  A better understanding of the
>technical issues concerning a hazardous waste site in their area helps
>citizens to provide thoughtful, informed comments.
