EPA Grant

| Jim Hunt has asked me to put together proposals for utilizing the new EPA grant. I have received a comprehensive proposal from Wentworth for four potential research projects and expect another from Northeastern. I will finalize my report to Jim after the strategic planning session. |

| I met with Jim Hunt on Nov 15 to discuss plans for use of the City’s new US EPA grant. The City will probably contract with the Trust to conduct studies related to standardized recharge systems, alternate means of supporting foundations, a less costly and invasive means of determining pile cutoff elevations, as well as a study of the utility and value of using porous pavers. We will also be asked to prepare a pamphlet for property owners outlining the problem and what can be done to overcome it. |

| The City continues to work on final details of the uses for the EPA grant. Nancy Grilk is heading this up for Jim Hunt, and I continue to work with both of them on this. We will likely be the implementer of projects funded by the grant. |

| Nancy Grilk is finalizing the details of the grant application, which should be completed shortly. I’ve been working with her. It is still the City’s intention that the Trust will implement projects funded by the grant. |
