| DESCRIPTION:EPA'S CERCLA SECTION 128(A) GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS ACTIVITIES THAT ESTABLISH OR ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF STATE AND TRIBAL RESPONSE PROGRAMS. THE GOALS OF THIS FUNDING ARE TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE STATE OR TRIBAL RESPONSE PROGRAM, AS SPECIFIED IN CERCLA SECTION 128, AND TO ENSURE THAT STATES AND TRIBES MAINTAIN A PUBLIC RECORD OF SITES INCLUDED IN THEIR PROGRAMS. THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT ('IIJA') PROVIDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO CARRY OUT THE SECTION 128(A) GRANT PROGRAM. THE PURPOSE OF THIS AWARD IS TO ENHANCE THE CAPACITY OF THE STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE'S BROWNFIELDS RESPONSE PROGRAM TO MEET THE SECTION 128(A) ELEMENTS. THE STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE WILL OVERSEE AND/OR PERFORM PLANNING, ASSESSMENT, AND CLEANUP OF BROWNFIELDS SITES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.ACTIVITIES:THE STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE WILL PERFORM THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES: TIMELY SURVEY AND INVENTORY OF BROWNFIELD SITES, WHICH ARE PROPERTIES WHOSE EXPANSION, REDEVELOPMENT, OR REUSE MAY BE COMPLICATED BY THE PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. IT ALSO INCLUDES OVERSIGHT AND ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES TO ENSURE THAT RESPONSE ACTIONS PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT; RESOURCES TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT; MECHANISMS FOR APPROVAL OF CLEANUP PLANS, AND VERIFICATION OF COMPLETE RESPONSES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO ASSIST IN REMEDIATING AND REUSING BROWNFIELDS SITES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. SUBRECIPIENT:THE STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE WILL ENTER A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE USGS. THE USGS WILL BE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRIBE'S BACKGROUND POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBON (PAH) ASSESSMENT OF STILLAGUAMISH FISH. THE FUNDS FOR THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE USED TO PAY FOR THE COSTS IN THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENT LISTED AS APPENDIX A OF THE WORKPLAN. ALL COSTS ARE PASS THROUGH FUNDS AND THE USGS WILL RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THEIR ACTUAL DIRECT OR APPROVED INDIRECT COSTS. STILLAGUAMISH CONTRIBUTION: $80,000 PRODUCTS: JOURNAL/USGS OPEN FILE REPORT AND USGS DATA RELEASE BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF PAH CONCENTRATIONS IN FISH FROM THE STILLAGUAMISH RIVER, WASHINGTON THE STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE PLANS TO USE THE INFORMATION GATHERED IN THE PAH BASELINE STUDY TO HELP DIRECT AND DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE AND MINIMAL-IMPACT FISH SAMPLING PLAN, TO BE USED IN A SPILL RESPONSE AND/OR CLEANUP (ELEMENT 4). ADDITIONALLY, UNDERSTANDING THE NATURAL BACKGROUND OF PAHS IN SALMON IS CRITICAL WHEN NATURAL RESOURCE DAMAGE ASSESSMENTS ARE CONDUCTED FOLLOWING A SPILL RESPONSE AND CLEANUP. CONDUCTING THIS BASELINE ASSESSMENT WILL HELP THE STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT PAH CONTAMINATION OF SALMON, GUIDE FUTURE CLEANUP EFFORTS, AND PROTECT THE HEALTH AND CULTURE OF THE TRIBE. PROBLEM STATEMENT POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS (PAHS) ARE A CLASS OF OIL-DERIVED COMPOUNDS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED IN FRESH AND MARINE WATERS. THEY ARE OFTEN THE CHEMICAL COMPONENTS OF OIL THAT POSSESS THE MOST SIGNIFICANT TOXICITY RISK TO FISH. BECAUSE OF THEIR WIDESPREAD OCCURRENCE AND MANY SOURCES, BOTH COMBUSTED (I.E., CARS AND TRUCK EXHAUST) AND NON-COMBUSTED (I.E., CREOSOTE OR CRUDE OIL) RELEASES, IT CAN BE CHALLENGING TO PINPOINT THE SOURCE OF PAHS FOUND IN WILD FISH POPULATIONS AND WHETHER PAH EXPOSURE IS EVENT-RELATED OR CONSISTENT WITH BACKGROUND LEVELS. PROPOSED WORK A BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF PAH STATUS IN WILD FISH THROUGHOUT THE STILLAGUAMISH WATERSHED AT THREE LOCATIONS: ESTUARY, LOWER-MAINSTEM, AND UPPER-MAINSTEM. BECAUSE TELEOST FISH READILY METABOLIZE PAHS, SAMPLES OF FISH BILE WILL BE ANALYZED FOR PAH METABOLITES AND COMPARED TO CONCENTRATIONS IN WATER (VIA PASSIVE SAMPLERS) AND NEARBY SEDIMENT. WE ADDITIONALLY WILL COMPARE PAH-METABOLITE CONCENTRATIONS AMONG RESIDENT AND ANADROMOUS FISH (E.G., JUVENILE COHO OR CHINOOK). AN IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF RELATIVE PAH CONTAMINATION AMONG FISH SPECIES WILL AID FUTURE SAMPLING EFFORTS BOTH IN THE STILLAGUAMISH AND REGIONALLY, POTENTIALLY HELPING TO REDUCE THE NEED TO SAMPLE ESA | Washington (EPA federal awards) | STILLAGUAMISH TRIBE OF INDIANS | $407K | — |
