Description:
Objective:This research involves a multidisciplinary approach to environmental assessment of at-risk sites in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The objectives of the research project are to: (1) work in collaboration with city, state, and federal partners to collect, analyze, and document the data on the locations, usage history, risk factors, and potential for remediation of selected existing brownfield sites in Baltimore; (2) develop a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) inventory of environmental activities at these sites; and (3) conduct outreach activities that will provide community service, environmental education, and information through the creation of partnerships with stakeholders impacted by brownfields.
