| This site is part of the MDE Brownfield Assessment Grant application to EPA. This site is a former Getty service station and auto repair shop with UST’s still present. Old cars and debris are on site and there is possible media contaminated with petroleum. The station has been abandoned for about 15 years, but the property appears to be in use. A day care center and older residences border the property. The Center has been contracted to perform community involvement related to the assessment project. In preparation of the grant submission, the Center has begun meeting and interviewing key informants to identify all possible stakeholders. If the grant is awarded, the Center will continue to identify interested parties and conduct outreach activities based on specific needs. Activities: 1st QRTR. 2003 3/7/03 – 3/12/02 – conducted phone interviews with numerous contacts in an effort to identify all stakeholders and to understand priority issues in the area. Contacts include Linda Griffith, Wicomico County Health Department; Angela Eaton, School Nurse at Pemberton Elementary; and Rosie Edwards, owner and operator of Group Day Care Center. Future Activities: Once the grant is funded, the Center, in conjunction with MDE, will hold meetings, workshops, and focus groups, and disseminate information about the project and its progress in a variety of formats. |
