Grant funds in an amount not to exceed $175,000 will help fund the development of a green classroom at the Oxbow Eco-Center. This competitive grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, provides funding to develop innovative processes for collecting, recycling and reducing the amount of solid waste materials in landfills, and specifically includes Construction and Demolition Debris in its list of targeted materials. In DEP's 2001 report to the Legislature, Florida's Recycling and Litter Programs: Current Status and potential Future Directions, DEP recognized that innovative waste reduction/recycling projects, improved recycling in Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris, and development of new markets for recycled C&D debris had the greatest potential for increasing the state's overall recycling rate. If approved, this grant will provide $175,000 in funds toward the design and construction of a green, Leeds-certified classroom building at the Oxbow Eco-Center. This building will serve as the core of educating students and other residents about the advantages or "going green". Total project costs are estimated to be $695,000. The Audubon Society has donated $100,000 toward this project. In-kind services to manage the project will be at least $20,000. St. Lucie County also has committed $80,000 toward the engineering, architectural and LEED-certified consulting fees, and $320,000 toward construction costs.

Grant funds will help the Oxbow Eco-Center fund the development of a Green School Initiative pilot program designed to provide St. Lucie District teachers the resources and incentives needed to reduce the environmental impact of schools and encourage stewardship in students. BACKGROUND: This competitive grant assists local governments in addressing the complexity, extent, threat to human health or ecosystems, and/or the significant need to protect, improve or restore specific environments. The primary project of this project is to support St. Lucie County School District efforts to reduce reliance on natural resources and instill environmental stewardship in students, teachers, custodial staff, administration, and decision makers. The Green School Initiative will address waste diversion and natural resource conservation in the schools. The district has approximately 41,000 students and 700 teachers located on 43 school sites. As new schools are built, efforts are being made to ensure that they are environmentally friendly. However, schools continue to be large producers of waste, including recyclable materials and food waste. Recycling decisions are made by administrators at each individual school. Despite efforts by the County's recycling manager to encourage recycling, many schools have not adopted recycling programs. In addition, as the population continues to grow, it becomes more important that students become community environmental stewards. The Green Schools Initiative supports the Resource Conservation Challenge by driving school efforts to prevent pollution, promote recycling and reuse, and conserve energy and materials. This project's focus is a pilot program designed, through the Oxbow, to provide teachers the resources and incentives needed to help reduce the environmental impact of schools and to encourage stewardship in students. The program will provide teacher training workshops, curriculum resources, field trip options, on-site support at schools when needed, and an annual award ceremony to recognize achievements. The project will extend into the community, using schools to generate awareness of the need for environmental stewardship. Through green school projects and the annual summit, schools will interact with community members and serve as models for local businesses. FUNDS AVAIL.: A match of 5% of the total cost is required. The total project cost is estimated to be $76,785. In-kind service will account for $23,485. Printing will account for $1,000 (Fund # 001- 7912-547005-700). Supplies will consumer $1 ,000 (Fund # 001-7912-552000-700). Travel will account for about $300 (Fund # 001-7912-540000). PREVIOUS ACTION: No previous action RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board authorize the submittal of a Regional Environmental Priority Project grant to the US Environmental Protection Agency for an amount not to exceed $51,000 and the acceptance of the grant if approved.
