Water issues, including water quality and supply, are projected to be the global geopolitical hot button issues of the twenty-first century. While much media attention has been paid to water shortages in states like California and Arizona, the Great Lakes, representing 20% of the world’s fresh water supply, are also under threat. Peter Annin’s 2006 book, The Great Lakes Water Wars, provides a cogent discussion of how competition for Great Lakes water resources is likely to play out. He notes that at the time of the writing of the book, water quality and invasive species including the zebra mussel had been the chief concern in the Great Lakes. Invasive species is still of great concern, as witnessed by the attempts to prevent invasive Asian carp from entering Lake Michigan via the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS). However, attention has shifted from invasive species to the issue of water supply and quality. Annin states: “Water scarcity throughout the world—and even in parts of the Great Lakes region—will put mounting pressure on one of the most abundant freshwater ecosystems on earth.... The lakes are the region’s most important and precious natural resource—they define the area’s economy, culture and environment.” The debate and tension among waterparched states over access to Great Lakes water resources will no doubt provide some great political theater in the coming decades and could ultimately lead to major changes in water resource policy at the local, state, and federal levels. Stay tuned! Water resources and Great Lakes issues will be two of many exciting tracks at the 2016 NAEP annual conference, April 11-14 in Chicago. We hope you will be able to attend.","PeriodicalId":45250,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81443063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are hundreds of re-developed, formerly contaminated sites all over the state of Rhode Island, which can be remediated under the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management's Brownfields program. In September of 2015, the RIDEM's Brownfields program was significantly enhanced by state administration, providing for grants to conduct investigation and cleanup of contaminated sites. Funds are and will be available for pre-development planning, remedial investigation, redevelopment and marketing plans, remedial design, construction of remedies, and associated work. The trigger for any Brownfields remediation, and in turn, eligibility for funding, continues to be notification of a release of hazardous materials. Once under RIDEM's jurisdiction, any responsible party must adhere to the site remediation site management process. The grant money may be applied to investigation of soil, groundwater, soil gas, indoor air and infrastructure/building materials. Funds are also available for site assessment, remediation, hazardous material abatement, waste disposal, long term monitoring, institutional controls, environmental consulting costs, and marketing. The Brownfields grant program provides new and diverse opportunities for environmental professionals to assist their clients in the Brownfields process.","PeriodicalId":45250,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78844207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
