This is the environmental Justice small grants program listing of organizations who received in 2007.

Annual report of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program documenting activities and research, goals for the upcoming year, proposed budget considerations, and other information about the organization for fiscal year 2008.

This report provides information on the explosions and resulting injuries or deaths that may occur from working with ethylene oxide and recommends steps for preventing these explosions.

This section presents information on national security and benefits for United States veterans.

Section of the Federal Register related to rules and regulations established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as of January 2007. This text addresses the final rule for 40 CFR parts 9, 141, and 142: Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Regulation (UCMR) for Public Water Systems Revisions.

Annual report of the U.S. Good Neighbor Environmental Board describing the organization's activities, goals, and recommendations for further development along the U.S.-Mexico border region. This report focuses on undocumented human crossings and hazardous materials crossings.

This document relates to the Department of Defenses restructuring of principle Federal agencies to create an environment of operational stability.

This report details the petroleum lease sales and development in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) through estimated physical and economic measures. Physical performance is measured in ways such as the prospectivity index, expeditious index, and development productivity. Economic performance is measured in ways such as a profitability index and internal rate of return.

This report is based on the needs of the National Marine Fisheries Service and Minerals Management Service to gain data about the Sperm Whale population, comparing the population in the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Twelve whales were tagged and observed to gather various types of data about their population and environment.

Offshore structures are required to be removed within a year after production ceases and recently the Minerals Management Service has asked for removal of structures no longer "economically viable." This paper seeks to identify the amount of idle iron that exists in the Gulf of Mexico as well as describe the geographic distribution and ownership patterns.

This edition of Alert by the EPA looks at excessive flow valves.

The tuft coral Lophelia pertusa is a deep-water coral that is very slow to develop and fragile, which makes recovery from any type of damage a very slow process. Current fishing practices and oil drilling are destructive processes that effect these coral systems. The goal of this paper is to learn more about the Lophelia pertusa and determine how best to protect these deep-water systems.

Report of the results from surface to bottom monitoring of water current and temperature of the central Gulf of Mexico for a 16 month period, May, 2003 - August, 2004.

This is a report on the environmental impacts and potential advantages of using biomass instead of fossil fuels in energy production.
