42-6 Hydrologic Research (DOC)
This program represents a NOAA/NWS
effort to create a cost-effective continuum
of basic and applied research through collaborative research between the Hydrology Laboratory of the National Weather
Service Office of Hydrologic Development and academic communities or other
private or public agencies which have
expertise in the hydro meteorologic,
hydrologic, and hydraulic routing sciences. These activities will engage
researchers and students in basic and
applied research to improve scientific
understanding of river forecasting. Ultimately these efforts will improve the
accuracy of forecasts and warnings of rivers and flash floods by applying scientific
knowledge and information to NWS
research methods and techniques, resulting in a benefit to the public. (FR 11/5/04)

42-7 Brownfields Job Training Grants
(EPA)
EPA is requesting proposals for brownfields job training grants. The goals of the
Job Training Program are to prepare trainees for future employment in the environmental field and facilitate cleanup of
brownfield sites contaminated with hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants and petroleum. Grants funds may be
used to train residents for the handling
and removal of hazardous substances,
which includes training for jobs in sampling, analysis, and site remediation.
Funds also may be used for the following:
1) training in the management of facilities
at which hazardous substances, pollutants, contaminants or petroleum contamination are located; 2) training for
response activities often associated with
cleanups - for example, landscaping,
demolition, and groundwater extraction;
and 3) development/refinement of existing curriculum for the training. Grant
funds may be used to recruit job training
participants from communities impacted
by brownfields and for outreach activities
directed toward engaging prospective
employers to be involved in the job training program. EPA-GRANTS-110404-001
