Preventive Block Grant
Northeast Colorado Regional Pollution Prevention Project (NCRP3)
Activities Proposed for Weld County
Pollution Prevention Education for CESQGs:
Educate and assist Weld County's conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQG) in
developing environmentally sound hazardous waste management practices in order to:
• reduce the input of hazardous substances to the municipal waste stream and the
environment by a significant measurable degree,
• minimize accidents resulting in exposure to hazardous waste,
• foster an ethic of personal responsibility for waste handling decisions among the
public, business, and government, and
• meet city/county/state/federal guidelines for handling hazardous waste from
CESQGs.
Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Program staff will assist CESQG business owners and
managers in conducting waste inventories and determinations. CESQGs will also be assisted in
developing pollution prevention measures in order to limit the amount of toxic waste they are
producing. The Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Program will also assist CESQG's in
properly disposing of what toxic wastes they do produce.
Green Team
Continue the agency/municipality P2 program, including the Weld County Department of Public
Health and Environmental's Green Team activities. The WCDPHE Green Team has developed
a contest, "Greening Weld County," that will be implemented this year within the Health
Department. With continued funding the contest would then be expanded to all County employees.
The contest teaches about pollution prevention by allowing individuals to collect "points" for
implementing pollution prevention measures in their daily lives (i.e. receive 100 points for hanging
laundry out to dry rather than using a dryer). Individuals can accumulate points, over a three month
period, to win prizes, with the anticipated outcome of developing permanent behavior changes.
The Green Team will also continue to encourage pollution prevention activities within the daily
operations of the Health Department and other county departments.
Public Forum for Water Quality
Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment is working with other area
organizations to develop ways to prevent negative impacts to water quality from activities that occur
within the watershed, including industry, agriculture, and urban development. To accomplish this,
we will involve stakeholders, within the Cache La Poudre River watershed. A public forum will be
held to identify concerns and possible solutions, and to develop workplans.
Environmental Home
Continue with the Environmental Home school presentations. The presentation teaches kids about
pollution prevention(recycling,composting,reducing use, re-use,and proper disposal of hazardous
materials) using an interactive approach. Estimated that between 6-10 school presentations will
be completed within the 1999-2000 school year.

Director, Weld County Department
of Public Health and Environment
Enclosed for Board review and approval is a proposal for activities planned in Weld County under
the Northeast Regional Pollution Prevention Program. For the last four years the Environmental
Health Division of the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment(WCDPHE)has
been involved with this regional group, whose focus, as the name states, is pollution prevention,
among businesses, government agencies, and individuals. Boulder County is the lead agency of
this regional network and, as such, has applied for Preventive Block Grant funds on the group's
behalf. Attached is a proposal of activities that WCDPHE is seeking funds for under this
cooperative grant. This has never involved a contract between ourselves and Boulder County,
rather we submit an invoice for reimbursement for expenses incurred carrying out the proposed
activities.
The activities proposed are those that staff of the Environmental Health Division will more than
likely be involved with over the next year, whether Preventive Block Grant funds are received or
not. This grant is a means for supporting these efforts and a way to share regionally the
knowledge gained, lessons learned, and successes made.
The grant request is for a one year period beginning October 1, 2000. We are asking for
$15,518 for this project.
I would recommend your approval on this proposal.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
