by Duane 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

Date: October 1, 2015 To: Community and Local Calendar Editor From: Pamela S. Cubberly, Morgantown Municipal Green Team (703-463-7643) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Green Team Holds First of Three Community Forums on Thursday, October 8: “How Clean Is Morgantown’s Air and What Can We Do About It?” Next Thursday, October 8, Morgantown area residents are invited to participate in a community forum on “How Clean Is Morgantown’s Air and What Can We Do About It?” The forum takes place at the Morgantown Public Library, 6:00pm–7:30pm (373 Spruce Street). Parking is available across the street. Organized by the Morgantown Green Team as part of its Green Nights at the Library, the forum is the first in a three-part series called “Air, Water, and Waste: Where Is Morgantown Heading?” The October 8th forum will be facilitated by Duane Nichols of the Mon Valley Clean Air Coalition, who will open the evening by addressing local concerns about air quality. Presenting the latest assessments of air quality in our area will be Tim Carroll, Assistant Director of Air Monitoring for the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Air Quality in Charleston, WV. Then Professor Michael McCawley, WVU Department of Occupational and Environmental Health Sciences, will present evidence on levels of ultra-fine particulate matter in our area as well as the rest of West Virginia. Air quality in the Morgantown area has long been of concern to many residents. The city’s record, although relatively good overall, has had certain worrying and seasonal exceptions, for example, ground-level ozone and fine particulate matter. In the summer, ozone measurements have sometimes reached EPA non-attainment levels along major traffic thoroughfares. Second in this series of community forums, “How Clean Is Morgantown’s Water and How Can We Keep It That Way?” takes place on Thursday, October 29. The third, “Is Recycling Working in Morgantown and What Can We Do About It?” takes place on Tuesday, November 10. Each event runs from 6:00pm to 7:30pm at the Morgantown Public Library (373 Spruce Street). The Morgantown Municipal Green Team is a group of citizens that advises the City of Morgantown on matters relating to sustainability in public policy, planning, education, departmental management, development, and evaluation of environmental and energy-related issues. For more information, please visit www.morgantownwv.gov/green/green-team. For more information on this and other Green Nights, please contact Pamela Cubberly, Morgantown Municipal Green Team at 703-463-7643 or Pamela(a)Cubberly.net.
