Applied standard values, concepts, and practices of International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) and EPA CERCLA Community Involvement Handbook. Planned and facilitated a meeting involving the EPA PMA team in conducting IAP2 decision analysis to identify its community involvement needs at each anticipated decision stage of the SA process. Based on decision analysis identified more than 100 PMA stakeholders, with an emphasis on community leaders. Developed action recommendations for EPA to consider for elaborating and refining its community involvement process and implementation planning supporting its PMA SA decision-making.* Assessing EPA’s Community Involvement Program at the Libby Montana Asbestos Superfund Site and recommending actions potentially decreasing conflict between EPA and community members and increasing communication and collaboration for the Region 8 EPA Superfund Program and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.* Supporting Versar, a global project management company, in conducting the community involvement activities required to develop Interim Risk Management Plans for 3 former weapons ranges in SE Colorado for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.* Securing EPA CERCLA funding for the City of Denver CO to develop institutional controls at the Vasquez Blvd/I-70 Superfund Site, an evaluation of the Site’s Community Health Program (CHP), and a guidebook for stakeholders at other contaminated sites nationally to develop and conduct CHPs.Earlier projects included a wide variety of plans and evaluations.
