To assist in this, we created the Budget Calculator, which is a sample form that can be used to prepare that section of proposals. The form must be opened in Microsoft Excel and can be saved to serve as a template for future reference. The form also includes notes describing the budget preparation process. CHATTANOOGA CREEK WATERSHED: ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING This project was funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Assistance Identification No. EQ824488-01-0 and EQ984590-98-0) and was led by Martha J.M. Wells. It consists of historical information (from 1973-1992) about water quality testing in the Chattanooga Creek area, and it also includes archived documents from 1997 analytical testing in South Chattanooga. POLLUTION IN OUR COMMUNITIES: AIR, WATER, SOIL AND YOU This project, which was prepared by Martha J.M. Wells, Cynthia Toon and David J. Crouse for the Chattanooga Creek Watershed Community/University Partnership Project, provides an overview of pollutants and how people can determine their risk from exposure to them. Production of this CD-ROM was funded under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region IV Cooperative Agreement No. X1984279-97-0. The copyright, 1998, is held by Tennessee Technological University. PPCP WEBCAST View the webcast symposium titled "The Virtual International Symposium on Environmental Aspects of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products" by clicking on the link to the left. The symposium was coordinated by the Center's environmental chemist Martha J.M. Wells; Larry Keith, of Instant Reference Sources, Inc.; and Christian Daughton and Tammy Jones-Lepp, of the National Exposure Research Laboratory of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency office in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was sponsored by the U.S. EPA and held in conjunction with the American Chemical Society's 228th National Meeting. WATERSHED QUALITY INDEX The Center developed a watershed quality index (WQI), which is a watershed model that was developed as a tool to conceptually assess environmental and financial costs associated with changes in land- and water-resource practices.
