Details:
The strategy of the grant is to provide shops with the resources, knowledge, and encouragement to take actions that will reduce sources of pollution and cultivate cleaner, greener automotive repair shops.
The purpose of this grant is to provide funding for the DOEE GreenWrench Technical Assistance Program (GW Tech). GW Tech connects District auto body and repair shops with subject matter experts, who provide knowledge, resources, and motivation to shift a shop’s culture to one that embraces sustainability and minimizes potential sources of pollution.
This grant is a subgrant from an EPA grant to the District to undertake this project. The grantee will track the adoption of pollution prevention (P2) measures at shops and provide the shops with less toxic products to sample and test. This grant will fund the continuation of technical assistance at participating shops across the District.
