This CEDS examines the South East Washington Economic Development Association, a region comprised of four southeastern Washington State counties: Asotin, Columbia, Garfield and Whitman. Additionally, SEWEDA shares some common economic issues with the neighboring Clearwater Economic Development District located in north central Idaho, as well as with the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments in Richland, WA. The intent of the CEDS is to identify regional issues and potential solutions. This is an ongoing, long term process that discusses regional economic development. The CEDS document accomplishes the following: . Provides data and information on the District; . Discusses external and internal trends and forces; . Establishes the District’s vision and goals; . Outlines programs and projects for implementation; . Lists prior accomplishments; and . Sets criteria for evaluating the process.

  • The Nez Perce Tribe Conducted a Year Long Community Monitoring
    Lewiston-Clarkston Valley Formaldehyde Study Page 1 of 10 Project Title: Lewiston – Clarkston Valley Formaldehyde Study (Community-Scale Monitoring) Applicant: Nez Perce Tribe Environmental Restoration & Waste Management Division Air Quality Program P.O. Box 365 Lapwai, ID 83540 Julie Simpson, Air Quality Program Coordinator phone 208.621.3818 fax 208.843.7411 [email protected] Funding Requested: $418,789 Total Project Cost: $418,789 Project Period: May 1, 2015 - April 30, 2018 DUNS number: 078208303 Lewiston-Clarkston Valley Formaldehyde Study Page 2 of 10 Basis and Rationale: Submitted to the Community-Scale Monitoring category, the proposed Lewiston- Clarkston (LC) Valley Formaldehyde (HCHO) Study will identify sources of elevated carbonyls found in the year long community monitoring assessment the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) conducted in 2006/2007 in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley (LC Valley) and on the Nez Perce Reservation in North Central Idaho. (http://www.nezperce.org/Official/Air%20Quality/Airtoxics/airtoxics.htm). Data analysis results and recommendations competed by Sonoma Technology, Inc. for the 2006/2007 study clearly identified the need for additional research (McCarthy et al, 2009): Concentrations of formaldehyde [HCHO] and acetaldehyde were much higher than expected for an area of Lewiston’s size. Because HCHO is the largest contributor to cancer risk among the pollutants measured and acetaldehyde is a significant contributor, this result is significant. Concentrations of HCHO and acetaldehyde were highest in the summer months but did not appear to be related to special events like large wildfires. Secondary production of HCHO and acetaldehyde are most likely to be responsible for the seasonal pattern but it is unclear why concentrations are higher in the Lewiston area than at other sites in the Inland Northwest.
