CMAQ - COMMUTER EXPRESS TRANSIT SER

**AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** BACKGROUND: CHEMICALS RELEASED FROM AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO AIR AND WATER POLLUTION, BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND GLOBALLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE OF AMMONIA (NH3), A COLORLESS, PUNGENT GAS THAT FORMS AS A BYPRODUCT OF AGRICULTURAL WASTE, AND IS COMMONLY FOUND IN CLEANING AGENTS USED IN COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS. AMMONIA GAS IS A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO HUMAN HEALTH, LIVESTOCK, AND CROPS, WITH THE SEVERITY OF HEALTH EFFECTS LARGELY DEPENDENT UPON THE DOSE, DURATION, AND EXPOSURE ROUTE. IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER, AMMONIA CAN CONVERT TO AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE WHICH IS STRONGLY CORROSIVE AND TOXIC. CONTACT WITH SMALL AMOUNTS OF AMMONIA CAN CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACTS OF BOTH HUMANS AND LIVESTOCK, WHILE EXPOSURE TO LARGER AMOUNTS OF AMMONIA GAS CAN CAUSE BLINDNESS AND/OR PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE. OSHA HAS SET A 50-PPM LIMIT FOR AMMONIA EXPOSURE OVER AN 8-HOUR WORK DAY, AND THE EPA CONSIDERS 300 PPM EXPOSURE TO BE IMMEDIATELY THREATENING TO HUMAN LIFE.NEED: TODAY, ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS OF AMMONIA POLLUTION ARE EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO COLLECT IN AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS. AS A RESULT, THE SOURCES OF AMMONIA GENERATION AND ITS SUBSEQUENT DIFFUSION BEHAVIOR ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT, AND THE TRUE OUTPUT OF AMMONIA POLLUTION IS FREQUENTLY UNDERESTIMATED. UNDERSTANDING AMMONIA POLLUTION CAN HAVE CRITICAL IMPACTS ON THE HEALTH AND SUSTAINABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES. A CONSEQUENCE OF AMMONIA POISONING IN MANY FARMS IS A PERVASIVENESS OF UNHEALTHY ANIMALS WITH RESPIRATORY DISEASES, WHICH CAN RENDER THEM UNSAFE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, AND LOWERING FARM PROFITABILITY. IN RECENT YEARS, AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES HAVE PLACED INCREASING EMPHASIS ON REDUCING AMMONIA VAPORS TO ENSURE LIVESTOCK LIVE IN CLEAN AND HEALTHY CONDITIONS. THIS TREND IS ALSO SUPPORTED BY MANY HEALTH-CONSCIOUS CONSUMERS WILLING TO SUPPORT FARMS THAT MAINTAIN SAFE AND HEALTHY LIVING CONDITIONS FOR THEIR LIVESTOCK, TO ENSURE THE FOODTHEY CONSUME IS AT ITS HIGHEST QUALITY. THESE CONSUMERS ARE INCREASINGLY LOYAL SUPPORTERS OF CLEAN FARMS AND ARE WILLING TO PAY A PREMIUM FOR NUTRITIOUS, HIGH-QUALITY FOOD.IMPROVING THE CAPACITY TO ANALYZE AND MITIGATE THE ENVIRONMENTAL RISKS OF AMMONIA POLLUTION IN BOTH FARMS AND PROCESSING FACTORIES IS PARAMOUNT. ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS WHICH CAN QUICKLY IDENTIFY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS THAT AMPLIFY OR ACCELERATE THE ACCUMULATION OF TOXIC AMMONIA VAPORS INTO THE ENVIRONMENT (I.E. IMPROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT, FERTILIZER OVERUSE, ETC.) ARE NEEDED TO DEVELOP RATIONAL MEASURES TO MINIMIZE AIR, WATER, AND SOIL POLLUTION AND TOXIC EXPOSURE. UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY'S COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AMMONIA GAS DETECTORS RELY ON EXPENSIVE, ANTIQUATED TECHNOLOGY WHICH LIMITS THEIR UTILITY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE MORE ACCURATE AMMONIA DETECTORS, SUCH AS THE BOREAL AND NONPLUS LASERS, ARE PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE (~$30-$40K) FOR MOST FARMS. ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS SUCH AS THE GG-NH3 FROM CALIBRATION TECHNOLOGIES ARE ALSO RATHER EXPENSIVE ($1,200/UNIT) AND DO NOT PERFORM WELL IN OUTDOOR SETTINGS.CURRENTLY, THERE ARE NO LOW-COST, USER-FRIENDLY AMMONIA VAPOR DETECTION METHODS CAPABLE OF REMOTELY MONITORING AND REPORTING RELIABLE REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS. MOREOVER, DESPITE THE KNOWN ADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY, MOST AMMONIA DETECTORS LACK THE FUNCTIONALITY TO BE CONNECTED TO A MULTI-NODE WIRELESS DETECTION NETWORK. THESE LIMITATIONS INDICATE THAT THERE IS A CLEAR LACK OF AFFORDABLE AND EFFICIENT OPTIONS TO MONITOR AMMONIA POLLUTION ACROSS 3-DIMENSIONAL LANDSCAPES IN REAL-TIME. CONSEQUENTLY, COMPREHENSIVE TOPOGRAPHICAL ASSESSMENTS OF AMMONIA DIFFUSION WHICH MIGHT INFORM MITIGATION PRACTICES ARE EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO COLLECT.VALUE PROPOSITION: SEACOAST SCIENCE PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RUGGED, LIGHTWEIGHT, AMMONIA DETECTOR, THAT FILLS THE CURRENT VOID IN COMMERCIAL DETECTION CAPABILITIES BY OFFERING AN AFFORDABLE AND VERSATILE SOLUTION TO ACCURATELY MONITOR AMMONIA POLLUTION ACROSS A DIVERSE ARRAY OF AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS. SEACOAST'S PROPOSED DETECTOR WILL MONITOR AND QUANTIFY THE CONCENTRATION AND SPATIAL DIFFUSION OF GAS-PHASE AMMONIA IN REAL-TIME, MAINTAIN A RECORD OF THE CUMULATIVE VAPOR LOAD, AND WIRELESSLY TRANSMIT THIS DATA TO A PERSONAL COMPUTING DEVICE FOR ANALYSIS VIA USER-FRIENDLY SOFTWARE THAT CAN BE OPERATED WITH MINIMAL TRAINING. THE PROPOSED DETECTION TECHNOLOGY IS BASED ON THE USE OF AMMONIA-SENSITIVE LEWIS ACID TELECHELIC POLYMERS (LATPS) AS CHEMICAL TRANSDUCERS IN MICRO-ELECTRO-MECHANICAL-SYSTEMS (MEMS) CHEMICAPACITOR AND CHEMIRESISTORS. THE PROPOSED DETECTOR WILL FEATURE AN INEXPENSIVE, SEMI-DISPOSABLE SENSING ELEMENT, STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO BE REPLACED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE HIGH OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE WHILE EXTENDING DEVICE LIFETIME. FURTHERMORE, THE SYSTEM'S WIRELESS CAPABILITIES WILL ENABLE EACH SENSOR TO FUNCTION AS A NODE IN AN INTEGRATED WIRELESS DETECTION NETWORK. THE PROPOSED DETECTOR IS ENGINEERED TO BE A COST-EFFECTIVE, FRONTLINE PROTECTIVE MEASURE AGAINST EXPOSURE TO AMMONIA VAPORS; WITH ADVANCED FEATURES CAPABLE OF MEETING THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR IMPROVED AIR QUALITY AND SAFETY FROM HAZARDOUS GASES.

THE DRIVE TO IMPROVE AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT IN AMERICA HAS LED TO MANY TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN FARMING MACHINERY, FERTILIZERS, AND PRECISION AGRICULTURE. OVER THE PAST CENTURY, THESE INNOVATIONS HAVE HELPED AMERICAN FARMS PRODUCE THE GOODS NECESSARY TO SUSTAIN THE NATION'S POPULATION GROWTH AND CONSUMPTION DEMANDS AND HAVE ALSO ALLOWED AMERICAN AGRICULTURE TO BECOME MORE COMPETITIVE ON THE GLOBAL MARKET. HOWEVER, AS THE YIELDS OF AMERICAN AGRICULTURE HAVE INCREASED, SO TOO HAS AGRICULTURAL WASTE AND POLLUTION. TODAY, CHEMICALS RELEASED FROM AGRICULTURAL WASTE ARE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO AIR AND WATER POLLUTION, BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND GLOBALLY. IN ADDITION, THE HIGH POLLUTION DENSITY ASSOCIATED WITH MANY OF THESE AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES COMPOUNDED BY THEIR COPIOUS USE OF INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH CLEANING AGENTS, HAS RAISED AWARENESS OF THE POTENTIAL LONG AND SHORT-TERM HAZARDS.AMMONIA GAS, IN PARTICULAR, IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL POLLUTANTS THREATENING AIR AND WATER QUALITY. ARISING FROM VARIOUS SOURCES OF AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL WASTE, AMMONIA VAPORS POSE A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO HUMAN HEALTH, LIVESTOCK, CROPS, AND THE ENVIRONMENT AT LARGE. AMMONIA IS A COLORLESS GAS WITH A STRONG PUNGENT ODOR AND IS TYPICALLY INTRODUCED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT FROM IMPROPER WASTE MANAGEMENT, FERTILIZER OVERUSE, OR RUN-OFF FROM INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH CLEANING AGENTS THAT ARE USED IN AGRICULTURAL, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS. WHILE THE SEVERITY OF HEALTH EFFECTS DEPENDS LARGELY ON THE DOSE, DURATION, AND EXPOSURE ROUTES, EVEN CONTACT WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF AMMONIA GAS CAN HAVE SERIOUS EFFECTS.WHEN AMMONIA ENTERS THE BODY AS A RESULT OF INHALATION, INGESTION, OR SKIN CONTACT (OR SIMPLY IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER), AMMONIA CAN CONVERT TO AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE, WHICH IS STRONGLY CORROSIVE AND TOXIC. IN PARTICULAR, THE LUNG TISSUE OF BOTH HUMANS AND LIVESTOCK IS ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO AMMONIA GAS AND ITS DERIVATIVES. SYMPTOMS RANGING FROM BURNING OF THE NOSTRILS, EYES, AND RESPIRATORY TRACT ARE AMONG THE MILDER INDICATORS OF AMMONIA POISONING. EXPOSURE TO LARGER AMOUNTS OF AMMONIA GAS CAN BE CONSIDERED A CHEMICAL EMERGENCY AS OVEREXPOSURE CAN CAUSE BLINDNESS AND PERMANENT LUNG DAMAGE. AS A RESULT, OSHA HAS SET A 50 PPM LIMIT FOR AMMONIA EXPOSURE OVER AN 8-HOUR WORK DAY AND THE EPA CONSIDERS 300 PPM EXPOSURE TO BE IMMEDIATELY THREATENING TO HUMAN LIFE.ON ACCOUNT OF THE WIDE ARRAY OF AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SETTINGS, THERE IS NOTABLE DIVERSITY IN HOW AMMONIA VAPOR POLLUTION IS GENERATED, DIFFUSES, AND ACCUMULATES. DETAILED MONITORING OF THIS GAS-PHASE POLLUTANT IS NEEDED TO HELP MITIGATE THE THREATS POSED BY ITS INTRODUCTION INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT AND EXPOSURE TO LIVING ORGANISMS. NEW AND IMPROVED CHEMICAL DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES ARE ALSO NEEDED TO SIMPLIFY AND IMPROVE THE ABILITY TO ACTIVELY AND ACCURATELY MONITOR AMMONIA VAPOR AS IT DIFFUSES. UNFORTUNATELY, TODAY'S COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE AMMONIA GAS DETECTORS ARE INADEQUATE, AS THEY RELY ON EXPENSIVE, ANTIQUATED TECHNOLOGY, LACK THE CAPACITY TO REMOTELY MONITOR AND WIRELESSLY REPORT REAL-TIME MEASUREMENTS OF AMMONIA LEVELS (I.E. INTENSITY, DURATION, LOCATION, AND CUMULATIVE LOAD), AND ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY USER-FRIENDLY TO BE REASONABLY OPERATED BY NON-TECHNICAL PERSONNEL. MOREOVER, DESPITE THE KNOWN ADVANTAGES OF WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY, MOST AMMONIA DETECTORS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE ABILITY TO BE CONNECTED IN A MULTI-DETECTOR WIRELESS DETECTION NETWORK. THIS LIMITATION MEANS THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO GAIN AN ACCURATE REAL-TIME TOPOGRAPHICAL ASSESSMENT OF AMMONIA POLLUTION AS IT DIFFUSES ACROSS 3-DIMENSIONAL LANDSCAPES. AS A RESULT, THE TRUE OUTPUT OF AMMONIA POLLUTION IS FREQUENTLY UNDERESTIMATED, AND THE SOURCES ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT. DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR HARM FROM AIR POLLUTANTS SUCH AS AMMONIA, THE USDA HAS IDENTIFIED THE NEED FOR IMPROVED DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP IMPROVE AIR QUALITY.IN VIEW OF THIS STATED NEED, SEACOAST SCIENCE, INC. PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW-COST, PORTABLE, GAS-PHASE AMMONIA DETECTOR. SEACOAST WILL LEVERAGE A NOVEL CLASS OF AMMONIA-SENSITIVE POLYMERS TO DEVELOP AN AMMONIA VAPOR DETECTOR THAT CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO A LOW-COST, BATTERY POWERED DEVICE WITH ADVANCED REAL-TIME MONITORING AND WIRELESS NETWORKING FEATURES. THIS DEVICE WILL MONITOR AND QUANTIFY THE INTENSITY AND DURATION OF GAS-PHASE AMMONIA IN REAL-TIME, MAINTAIN A RECORD OF THE CUMULATIVE VAPOR LOAD, AND WIRELESSLY TRANSMIT THIS DATA TO A PERSONAL COMPUTING DEVICE FOR ANALYSIS VIA SOFTWARE THAT CAN BE OPERATED WITH MINIMAL USER TRAINING. THESE FEATURES WILL ALLOW EACH SENSOR TO FUNCTION AS A NODE IN A WIRELESS AMMONIA DETECTION NETWORK TO ACCURATELY MONITOR AMMONIA VAPOR IN REAL-TIME ACROSS A DIVERSE ARRAY OF 3-DIMENSIONAL SPATIAL CONFIGURATIONS. IN ADDITION, THIS DEVICE WILL FEATURE AN INEXPENSIVE, SEMI-DISPOSABLE SENSING ELEMENT, STRATEGICALLY DESIGNED TO BE REPLACED PERIODICALLY; ENSURING HIGH OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE IS MAINTAINED WHILE EXTENDING DEVICE LIFETIME. SEACOAST'S PROPOSED AMMONIA DETECTOR WILL FILL THE CURRENT VOID IN DETECTION CAPABILITIES BY OFFERING A LOW-COST, ROBUST, AND VERSATILE SOLUTION TO ACCURATELY MONITOR AMMONIA POLLUTION ACROSS A WIDE SPAN OF AGRICULTURAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS.

SEACOAST EAT LOCAL INC. WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A TARGETED MARKETING PLAN FOR FOUR OUTDOOR SUMMER FARMERS MARKETS. THIS PROJECT WILL UTILIZE A COMBINATION OF DIGITAL AND PRINT MARKETING STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE VISIBILITY AND DRIVE SALES.

UNATTENDED MONITOR FOR GREENHOUSE CROP HEALTH

OBJECTIVE 1: OUTFIT A NEW MARINE MAMMAL REHABILITATION FACILITY THAT IS SLATED TO OPEN AT THE SEACOAST SCIENCE CENTER IN 2027. OBJECTIVE 2: PROMOTE AWARENESS OF MARINE MAMMALS AND RESPONSE PROTOCOLS AROUND THE CAPE ANN PENINSULA AREA OF MASSACHUSETTS, WHERE THE HAS BEEN AN 11-YEAR GAP IN COVERAGE. OBJECTIVE 3: ENSURE PROGRAM VISIBILITY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT DURING THE 16-MONTH CONSTRUCTION CLOSURE OF THE SEACOAST SCIENCE CENTER. OBJECTIVE 4: MAINTAIN HIGH QUALITY STRANDING RESPONSE, DISEASE SURVEILLANCE, AND DATA COLLECTION. OBJECTIVE 5: ENSURE MARINE MAMMAL RESCUE STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS ARE UP-TO-DATE ON ISSUES AND TRAININGS RELEVANT TO MARINE MAMMAL RESPONSE.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: OUR THREE MAIN GOALS ARE TO (1) MAINTAIN AND ENSURE QUALITY & CONSISTENT RESPONSE AND DATA COLLECTION, WHILE SURVEILLING FOR DISEASE; (2) ENHANCE AND EXPAND COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE EQUITABLE ACCESS, DURING AN ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSITION PERIOD; AND (3) CLOSE A GAP IN COVERAGE AROUND CAPE ANN, MASSACHUSETTS. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES WILL RELY ON ESTABLISHED COLLABORATIONS WITH STRANDING ORGANIZATIONS, VETERINARIANS, AND PARTNERS. TRAININGS, WORKSHOPS, AND CONFERENCE ATTENDANCE WILL ENRICH MUNICIPAL FIRST RESPONDERS, VOLUNTEERS, AND STAFF. A MOBILE OUTREACH UNIT, COMBINED WITH PAID INTERNSHIPS AND NEW STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES, WILL CREATE AN INCLUSIVE PIPELINE FOR DIVERSE STUDENTS TO PURSUE CAREERS IN MARINE SCIENCE AND CONSERVATION. THE ADDITION OF A STRANDING RESPONSE SPECIALIST POSITION AND INVESTMENT IN EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, AND OUTREACH MATERIALS WILL ALLOW FOR THE FORMAL ACQUISITION OF THE CAPE ANN, MA RESPONSE TERRITORY, WHICH HAS EXPERIENCED A GAP IN COVERAGE SINCE 2013.
