INTRODUCTION
The Weld County Health Department Environmental Protection Division is a
multi -faceted organization. The goal of the Division is the protection of the
environment within the borders of Weld County. Environmental Quality, Consumer
Protection and Laboratory Services are the three major areas.
Within the Environmental Quality Division, Air Quality and Solid Waste
Management are the predominant areas of concern. Air Quality deals mainly with
the inspection and monitoring of air in the region. The Air Quality program will
oversee the radon program.
Consumer Protection and Laboratory Services duties include protection of
public health in areas of food service, day care homes, and water quality
sampling and testing.
The population of the area has increased county wide. In 1994 Weld County
Environmental Protection Services Division issued a record 591 Individual Sewage
Disposal System (ISDS) permits for county residents. As the area grows the
health department is uniquely positioned to encourage through education new home
builders to incorporate radon resistant building techniques into new homes and
follow-up testing.
In the past Weld County has worked successfully as a community outreach
resource to mitigate problems with lower income groups that have failing septic
systems. These residents have received assistance from various public and
private entities to complete these repairs.
Weld County has been designated by the EPA as a Zone 1 area, an area where
radon levels are greater than 4 pCi/l. The purpose of this project is to increase
Weld County residents knowledge of radon. Through the Weld Radon Awareness
Program (WRAP) it is anticipated the public will address the problem of radon in
their homes. Not only will residents become more informed of the dangers of
radon gas, but also test for and mitigate homes with elevated levels of radon.
A critical consideration of this project is the distribution and impact of
risk among lower socioeconomic groups. The testing of homes for radon
concentrations is expected to be a major part of the project. Identifying and
mapping of the information will show the geographic and economic distribution of
homes with elevated levels of radon. It is expected that no more than 50% of the
homes tested will have elevated levels which require mitigation.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Goals:
1. Raise publics awareness of the risk to exposure to radon in residents in
Weld County.
2. Consider the distribution of environmental risk across various population
groups. (Racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, geographical, etc.)
Objectives:
Outcome Objectives:
1. Reduce by 50 percent Weld County homes found to pose a risk or be
modified to reduce risk to health by June 1, 1996.
2. 50 percent of tested homes occupied by families of low socioeconomic
status will be found to pose a minimal risk or be modified to reduce
risk to health by December 31, 1995.
Impact Objectives:
1. One (1) percent (500) of homes in Weld County will be tested for
radon concentrations by December 31, 1995. According to the 1990
1
950143
census there are 47566 homes in Weld County.
2. 50 percent of homes (250) tested by June 1, 1996 will be occupied by
families of low socioeconomic status.
3. One (1) percent of households (500) in Weld County will be randomly
surveyed by telephone to determine attitudes surrounding radon by
December 31, 1995.
4. By June 1, 1996, community members attending WRAP (Weld Radon
Awareness Program) presentations will demonstrate a higher belief in
the importance of testing.
5. Radon press releases and public service announcements will be
distributed to all Weld County media by December 15, 1995 for Radon
Awareness Month, January 1996.
This environmental justice project involves educational training, testing,
and selection of homes to be mitigated as a method of increasing awareness
concerning the exposure to radon gas. Weld County has been designated by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Zone 1 radon area. This is an
exposure level greater than 4pCi/l.
EDUCATION AND OUTREACH PROGRAM
PHASE 1 - The Weld Radon Awareness Program (WRAP) is a program that will
target low income residents of Weld County. The purpose of this program is to
educate the population on the importance and of radon testing and to provide
access to mitigation funds.
The development and implementation of this program will involve a
supervisor to oversee the project, one Environmental Specialist to develop and
present the quarterly programs and a one quarter time office technician. The
Division is in a unique position because of the close proximity to the Well
Child, Pre -natal and Family Planning clinics which are held in the same building.
The target population is of low socioeconomic status and accesses this facility
for a variety of clinical services. This population was selected because the
child bearing years are typically a time of increased health awareness and women
are the gatekeepers for family health issues.
The interns will be trained in the proper set up of the test kit.
Low income Weld County residents will be contacted when they come for services
offered at various health department clinics. Clients will receive education on
importance and health effects of radon through a waiting room video and
educational materials. Interns will provide the test kit and instruction to
clients on its proper set up. Clients will be given a postage paid return
envelope to return the test kit to the laboratory for analysis. The possibility
of dual results notification will be explored with the laboratory to prevent
attrition on the part of clients fearful of government interference. In this
manner clients would receive results as well as the health department allowing
the WRAP program tho follow up with residents with radon levels above 4pCi/1.
All clients participating in the program will be asked to bring their
results to their next clinic appointment. An incentive to do so will be the
receipt of a gift of baby or child care products provided by a local discount
store. Materials developed for the programs will be culturally sensitive and
reading levels and educational needs will be considered. Topics to be discussed
include:
* Pre -construction mitigation
* Mitigation of existing homes
* Mitigation funds available to low income residents
Environmental Justice Grant Fund, Weld Housing Authority, Housing and
Urban Development, Habitat for Humanity
* Importance of risk reduction through mitigation
* Test kit availability and importance of testing
2
950143
* Importance of testing prior to purchase of home
* Distribution of EPA radon pamphlets:
Citizen's Guide to Radon
Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon
Consumer's Guide to Radon Reduction
Community education will occur through the distribution of public service
announcements concerning radon to the media serving both the English and Spanish
speaking communities (radio, newspapers, and local television station) county
wide during Radon Awareness Month (January 1996). The Weld Board of County
Commissioners will be asked to proclaim January as Radon Awareness month. A
bilingual information hotline will be established to provide consultation on
radon related question or results interpretation.
Quarterly WRAP programs will be held in low income areas, (Island Grove
Village, Catholic Church and outlying communities). Each participant in the WRAP
program will receive a pre-test to fill out prior to the training, this will
determine current knowledge of radon. Following the training a post-test will
be given to determine amount of knowledge gained through the class. This
information will be used to strengthen the program. This educational program
will continue to be held quarterly or on an as need basis after the testing phase
is completed. The ongoing training of individuals will heighten the public
awareness about radon, and they will be well informed about mitigation
alternatives.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
PHASE 2 - A telephone survey will be conducted by interns from the
University of Northern Colorado. It is anticipated that between three (3) and
five (5) interns will be employed. The communication barrier will be lessened
by having a bilingual intern on staff. A phone list of Weld County will be used
in order to get a completely random sampling of residents. The survey will
consist of no more than ten (10) questions relating to radon, location of home,
rent or own, income level, has the home been tested and if so was mitigation done
if elevated levels were found in the home.
There are 47,566 residential units in Weld County, 17. of these homes will
be tested by June 1, 1996, 507. of the homes tested will be low socioeconomic
homes.
Test results will be plotted on a GIS map to determine cluster areas with
elevated radon levels. This data will be used during phase 3 to help determine
appropriate distribution of mitigation funds.
The Environmental Specialist will be available for telephone consultation
on radon related questions or results interpretation.
MITIGATION
PHASE 3 - The third phase of this project is when homes will be selected
for actual mitigation. Mitigation will be funded by this environmental justice
grant. The homes chosen will be selected from homes which have 4 pCi/1 or higher
and which meet income criteria established by the WRAP project. It is
anticipated that five (5) homes will be selected as candidates for mitigation.
Mitigation will be preformed by contractors meeting EPA requirements or state
certification criteria.
CONCLUSION
The final technical report of this environmental justice project will be
completed and submitted within 90 days following the end of the project period.
The evaluation will include the following:
1) Evaluate radon test results and select homes with levels greater than 4
pCi/1 for mitigation program. The testing of 17, (500) of the 47,566 homes
by June 1, 1996 will meet our goal for determining the radon levels in
these homes.

950141 •
2) Evaluate socioeconomic variables.
3) Compile answers from phone survey to determine proportion of households
that have been tested, socioeconomic and other demographic variables.
4) Map test results on GIS map.
5) Compile number of phone calls received in office concerning radon.
6) Compile number of tests given out and number of results returned.
7) Calculate amount of money and number of homes mitigated.
8) The completion of the mitigation on the selected homes will close out the
project with the construction mitigation being completed by June 1, 1996.
Post mitigation samples will be done on the homes following the mitigative
work to determine the effectiveness of the repairs.
9) Successful completion of this project will be demonstrated by changes in
community attitudes about radon and increased community awareness as
measured by telephone survey results and post presentation feedback.
10) All materials will be made available to other communities interested in
increasing public awareness concerning radon testing, mitigation and
education.

Radon Grant Proposal
Subject:

Attached is a grant proposal the the U.S. EPA Office of Environmental Justice
Small Grants Program for a radon awareness program. Weld County has been
designated by the EPA as a Zone 1 area, an area where radon levels are greater
than 4pCi/1 (pico Curies per liter). The purpose of this project is to increase
Weld County residents knowledge of radon. Through the Weld Radon Awareness
Program (WRAP) it is anticipated the public will address the problem of radon in
their homes. Not only will residents become more informed of the dangers of
radon gas, but also test for and mitigate homes with elevated levels of radon.
A second component of the program is to evaluate the distribution of radon in low
socioeconomic homes.
The development and implementation of this program will involve a project
supervisor to oversee the project, a quarter time office technician and interns
from the University of Northern Colorado. For the project supervisor we would
utilize existing staff. The Environmental Specialist will develop and present
the quarterly programs. In addition, a one -quarter time Office Technician I is
requested for one year.
The Division is in a unique position because of the close proximity to the Well
Child, Pre -natal and Family Planning clinics which are held in the same building.
The target population is of low socioeconomic status and access this facility for
a variety of clinical services.
