View Award Description

Rhode Island Project to Strengthen Environmental Health Capacity - The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is pleased to submit a summary of our proposal to strengthen the Rhode Island’s (RI) environmental health capacity (EHC) to protect public health through our environmental health (EH) programs. Component A, Project 1. Building Surveillance Capacity to Identify Lead Hazards Component A, Project 2. Building Capacity of Public Health Programs for Inland Recreational Waters in Rhode Island Component B, Project 3. Strengthening Public Health Programs for Inland Recreational Waters in Rhode Island Component B, Project 4. Improving Access to Safe Drinking Water from a Small Community Water Systems Component A, Project 1. RIDOH’s Lead Hazard Mitigation Program (LHMP) intends to decrease the rates of lead poisoning by increasing the number of rental properties that comply with RI’s Rules and Regulations Governing Lead Hazard Mitigation. LHMP is aiming to improve our oversight of property owner compliance by conducting a pilot project in Providence that connects the tax assessor’s electronic records with RIDOH’s Lead Exposure Surveillance System (LESS). Component A, Project 2. This project will develop the capacity for public health programs for inland recreational waters in Rhode Island. The plan is to develop and use a risk-based approach that will improve efficiency and effectiveness in monitoring and assessment of pathogens and cyanobacteria risks. The result will be safer recreation at our inland water sites, areas where current monitoring efforts are inadequate to protect public health and inequitable in relation to better protected coastal areas of Rhode Island. Monitoring and assessment plans to reduce risk will be revised regularly to optimize protections provided by the program, with feedback provided from the associated Component B project. Component B, Project 3. The Component B project will more expand on the screening level assessment approaches applied in Component A. The plan is to apply the implicit informatics approaches of risk characterization as detailed in US EPA guidance. In addition, the framework will draw from CDC and ATSDR guidance to more specifically incorporate the environmental and cultural determinants of health for communities that rely on inland waters for recreation. The plan easily conforms with a multi-year adaptive management approach. Component B, Project 4. Aims to update existing Source Water Assessments (a proven tool for communicating risk to Rhode Island water suppliers and municipalities) with new environmental health data. Our priority will be small community systems within disadvantaged communities in order to address health disparities. This project will address, prevent, and control environmental health hazards specifically posed by SOCs and PFAS. The project will utilize baseline and post-intervention surveying methods to determine the effectiveness of outreach associated with the updated Source Water Assessments.
